Last summer I don't remember having to turn on my air conditioning on until late June, but this year I've had it running steadily since early May. I live in a cabin that was built in 1909 so of course all I have is a couple of fans and a ac window unit. Luckily the huge oak trees keep it shaded most of the day but it's the humidity that's killing me.
I can't walk outside for one minute without being covered in sweat... I hate sweating. I constantly have to wear sunscreen, my hair is getting blonder by the minute and my freckles are getting darker.
I take cold showers in the morning, have two fans blowing on me and occasionally have to stick my head in the freezer while getting ready in the morning so I can stop sweating long enough to put my makeup on and dry my hair.
Even poor Ginger can't take the heat for more than 30 minutes before she gives up and plops down on the ground. Early in the morning is the only time I can stand to take her for a long walk. You would think all the rain we've had would cool things off but it it only adds to the hot stickiness!
Anyway, my point is I'm sick of living in the South. I want out! While the Pacific Northwest would be ideal, right now I'd be happy to move North 2 hours to Asheville. I would love to say we only have two more months to suffer through but I bet it won't cool down here until late September.
"Rabun County, where summer spends the year."
"Rabun County, where summer kicks spring's ass."
"Rabun County, only the devil thinks it's cooler here."
I'll keep working on it.
