It is going to be surreal when I walk into our flat in a couple weeks and start my other life overseas as I have been here in the US for a couple of months already.
But, I am here for about as long as everyone goes on vacation, so I will pretend that this month is my first day here in the US and start all over from scratch.
It feels nice being here in my dad’s home where the Heating and A/C plan keeps it nice and cool, as opposed to perspiring enjoy crazy in some of the flats I’ve lived in overseas with no temperature control system. A lot of people live without heat or AC over there and just suffer needlessly when all they had to do was buy a small portable oil furnace or AC unit and live in comfort. I know some of them are so broke that it isn’t even an option to buy something like that. Then again, some people I have come across over there say that they don’t like a/c because it messes with their sinuses by drying them out. I myself couldn’t live without AC and heat in the overheated and cold months, respectively. I know I am a bit spoiled although I like to be nice and cool at night when I sleep, even keeping a small fan at our bedside to add an additional layer of cooling beyond our central cooling system. I’ve also gone through a winter without heat and it was one of the worst winters of my life.
