Buy me a ko-fi and fuel more personal art!
JOURNAL STARTS HERE I hate summer. it makes my skin feel puffy and my eyes sore and I have trouble regulating my body temp at the best of times so summer is hell.
Cause if i'm cold i can always pile on blankets. but if i'm hot, once i'm naked in a cold bath it's not like i can take my skin off to cool down D<
It's gonna be 35c here today. england usually doesnt get above 28c. plus it's gonna be like 95% humidity or something stupid.
(and before you go LOL USA GETS HOTTER DON'T COMPLAIN, I have never lived in the USA, so my body is not acclimatized to anything other than usual UK temps and it's bein kinda dickish always pointing that out lol.)
35c is how hot it was when I went Tokyo in 2011... it was hell! No wonder ppl in japan shower every day. if you're going out in that temp all summer, sweat rolling down your back, ya need to wash every day.
...on a side note I miss ofuro. was nice having a sit down shower before a nice soak in a super deep bath every day. aaaaa.

WHY ARE WE SO HUMID? I mean i know it's cause we're an island but STILL
Much prefer autumn
i live in a pretty hot country (it can get to about 40c here) and what i do noramlly (i try not to open the ac too much) is drink a ton of cold drinks, eat lotsa popsicles, have a plastic bottle with only ice in it to put on ur forehead & arms, esp if u go outside!! we used to do this when we were kids and it stuck bc its so useful for the heat lmao
generally moving around instead of sitting in one place can make things feel less sticky and gross
oh and multiple showers
i drink a lot of cold water anyway but the pipes to our taps heat up and the water is usually warm-ish coming out, and our fridge is too small to keep lots of bottles of water in xD but yeah, drinking lots of water helps. and i find, weirdly, that hot coffee actually helps too? no idea why xD
I dont really go out much so thats not a problem. i tend to keep my curtains closed cause my room is ground floor facing the street, so that helps keep it cooler than msot of the house, and i have a fan directly on me.
we actually just ran out of popsicles, i ate the last one yesterday lmao
i also run my wrists under cold water for a minute or so which helps cool me down pretty fast.
try making ice instead? doesn't take a lot of space and is pretty helpful!
that sounds p nice !!! I should get a fan myself ripp
What I really hate is when people complain about the cold and then turn around and complain about the heat in the summer. Like....STOP FLIP-FLOPPING
