Wet and muggy isn’tthe weather for me! Read On
Author: Phil
It seems to rain all the time where I live. Ample rainfall is just a fact of life around here, it would seem. I would say that the wettest season is the summer, and yet, as we are getting into the fall season, it's still pretty wet outside! Believe it or not, I would love If it was at least cool outside while the two of us were in these rainstorms. A wet chilly can bring on the flu or pneumonia, but I personally would love relief from the heat. Instead, even in the fall, and occasionally, even in the winter, it's moderate and humid and wet. I remember living in our parent's house, which had thick walls and excellent insulation. It also had a good heating and air conditioner. The wet mugginess was left outside, where it belonged. Now I live in a home with thin walls and insulation that isn'tas great. As a result, that muggy feeling ends up getting into our house. He gives you that icky, sticky feeling! I may actually well need to invest in a dehumidifier, because our a/c plan just does not seem to be doing an adequate job of pulling out the moisture in the air, which it is supposed to do as well as cooling things down. I assume I will go to the store and purchase a dehumidifier soon. Or maybe I will look online and see if there is a wonderful deal, so that I willl have more variety to choose from, and I can have it shipped to myself and others instead. One way or another, I need relief from all of the wet, humid weather.
If Southerners love the moderate weather, why do they love their a/cs so much? Source
A chilly surprise
I had a real shocker when I came into work this morning. It’s late October, and a cold snap brought temperatures in the high 30s this morning. I was very grateful for the heater in my car as I was driving to work on my commute. It felt so good that I did not want […]
The perfect environment for writing
I am a freelance writer, and call me spoiled, but I have found that I simply cannot work as effectively and efficiently and with the same level of creativity if my environment is not completely comfortable. I need the temperature to be exactly 72 degrees and the humidity to be just right. I also need […]
Me and my wife discover air purifiers
My wife is a clean freak. However, it’s only mildly obnoxious, and the truth is, that I am grateful that she is so conscientious about keeping things clean. Our home is spotless at any given time. I’ve offered to help her clean many times, but she is fussy about how it’s done, so I just […]
Our kids are being sneaky with the thermostat!
Our kids arrive home from school and end up being alone at the house for two and a half hours before either me or my wife gets home. The vast majority of the time, we find the house to be in order with nothing broken and all three of our children behaving relatively well. Although, […]
The babysitter is changing the thermostat setting
Babysitters can be a lifesaver! I used to babysit a lot, so I truly appreciate people who are willing to put up with someone else’s kids for a long time. I think they deserve plenty of compensation, that’s for sure! However, when I was a babysitter, I always abided by the rules of the household […]
I feel entitled to change the temperature when I babysit
I make quite a lot of extra money babysitting on weekends. People seem to be desperate to ditch their kids for a precious few hours, and I’m more than happy to capitalize on that fact. As long as they’re not mine, I don’t mind having to deal with them for a few hours. It can […]
I'm not big on concerts
Outdoor concerts don’t really appeal to me all that much. It has to be a very entertaining band for me to be willing to stand out there in the heat surrounded and pressed in by people just as sweaty as I am. Sure, you can order a beer, but it comes in a plastic cup […]
How my brother keeps comfortable in his single wide mobile home
The single wide mobile home, while spacious, is still small enough to where he only really needed three space heaters My brother has always cared far more about the piece of land that he lives on than the actual home that he occupies on that land. Still, I have to admit that he has a […]
