Hoping For A Hurricane?

2 Jun

I have been sitting on my arse all week wilted and without motivation. If a hurricane would bring rain and perhaps cooler temperatures, I’d be willing to risk it.

2024 Predicted Hurricanes

I’ve been modeling my activity level after the dogs. They don’t seem a bit guilty to be lying around all day.

The breeze off the laguna continues to be smoky due to annual burning, irritating lungs, stinging eyes and causing fits of coughing. I occupy my time with my latest audiobook.

The book is set in India. If there were a competition for stifling heat India wins hands down. Living in a hot, humid, tropical environment does add a touch of realism to the story.

This weekend is Mexico’s presidential election. Mexico is poised to elect its first presidenta. As everywhere, people run under the banner of CHANGE. So far I’ve seen lots of promises and little action. It’s a big job no matter who gets it.

I’m grateful for electricity which keeps the refrigerator cold, internet going and ceiling fans whirring. We only use air conditioning at night which is a privilege that many in Bacalar do not have.

Stella loves the sun.

So do your best to stay cool, warm or dry depending on where you live. We are making plans to escape for awhile, but that’s news for another day.

    Parts of Mexico and the US are under serious heat extremes. This is only going to get worse, unfortunately. It is absolutely fine to lie under the fan and do nothing when it’s really hot, especially since we aren’t 20 anymore.
