I don’t know how folks live like this, then these intermediate seasons in between the big ones – winter season plus summer time – are angry for me, and yet, my neighbors are all celebrating; I couldn’t help but overhear them talking about the lower utility bills, the fresh air availability, plus the ability to spend quality outdoor time without any major heatstroke complications… plus the whole time I was scoffing to myself.
I literally cannot understand how Fall brings them all these benefits, when it’s the complete opposite for me.
First of all, in the fall you never know how to judge the temperature requirements for the afternoon when you wake up. It’s regularly chilly freezing in the afternoon, causing you to put on a ton of layers to stay hot as you crank up the furnace to stay comfortable. Then, a few hours later, it’s total chaos when the temperature has inevitably shifted, but usually it’s much warmer as the afternoonlight comes out plus everything has to change again, but your clothing has to be swapped out plus your control unit has to be turned down swiftly. If you leave your windows open, you risk natural temperature control leaving you with a chilly freezing or rain-soaked home; Not to mention, I can’t cherish the fresh plus crisp fall air like my neighbors… because I have terrible fall dust irritations; Everything in the air makes me cough plus sneeze all season. I have no option but to rely on my Heating plus Air Conditioning system plus piles of clothing. The whole thing is so stressful, I just pray for the solid freezing temperatures of winter.
