On a Monday

So here I am.
Sitting in the living room. Drinking warm lemon water. Fending off the heat because the air conditioner in this room's broken and I'm expecting/hoping help would arrive.

Woke up early to fix breakfast, cook lunch and realised with a the most unsurprising shock that my calves are a ton each. Walking is probably the most painful chore today, I mean putting just even that much amount of pressure on calves so as to enable walking is joyous pain.
Comes with climbing so many freaking thousand stairs.
I mean almost 30 kms in two days worth of hiking and climbing is not fun on the legs especially calves and stairs are a bit merciless..let's be real.

Work out? No amigo, no workout shall be done today. In fact I'm going to relax in another room with the ac on full blast and do a bit of drawing.

Let's talk a bit about Shanghai heat wave. It's the worst summer in past 45 years and one can feel it. The temperatures will blow up to an even 40° today and what is that if not hellfire hot?
Compounded with the humidity that is.

I'd been wondering why I didn't feel as uncomfortable with this weather last year and the answer was simple that I didn't spend the summers here. My summers last year were spent back home with my folks where this time around the weather needs a thicker blanket cuz it's pretty cool out there what with the monsoons and what not.

Right now the air blowing from the fan doesn't feel entirely comforting. You can feel it's warmth touching your exposed skin surface and it does little to evaporate dewing sweat.

There's little intelligence in stepping out and with the sunburns I've accumulated this weekend I'd best stay home.

Right! On to tea because I didn't have it this morning because I was unwilling to step out of the bedroom and now my morning is sort of late but without tea it's never morning for me.
