Dealing With Heat Through the Ages

Image: Mandy Horetski

I live in the South, so the heat outside has been pretty unbearable for most of the summer. But we’ve been able to deal by hiding inside with the wonder that is air conditioning.

But then, our air conditioning died. My husband thinks he can fix it but it may have to wait a few days because he works a lot of overtime.

We have box fans and ceiling  fans, but with a temperature of nearly 90 degrees outside it was a little unbearable. For me at least.

For my nearly 3 year old toddler, the heat didn’t seem to faze her. She continued to run around the house like she normally did while I was sweating just sitting in front of the fan.

I’m not sure if she deals with the heat better because she is younger or if I’m just a wimp. I do know that I was surly and didn’t get anything done because I was so warm. It makes me wonder if I’m too reliant on technology. I’m screwed if the zombie apocalypse happens in the summertime because I wouldn’t be able to move very fast to get away from the hoards of undead.
