By the time I grabbed my second iced coffee, I was already annoyed with myself for not sorting out the heat situation in my room. The fan wasn’t doing much, just whirling warm air like it was trying to help, but not really, and I didn’t feel like dealing with the dry blast from the …
It was a Monday morning. I put on my black hoodie to get ready for work. I was already on the door, and suddenly spotted fur on my hoodie in the mirror. I know where the fur came from as my dog Max might have used the hoodie as his personal bed. The thing is, …
It was one of the hottest afternoons last summer, when I was just lying on the couch and thinking about trying something cold from the store outside. But the issue was that I really didn’t want to move and try the usual store-bought stuff either, because those were too sweet, too processed. Then I remembered …
I had this slice of pizza the other night, leftover from the day before. As I wasn’t really in the mood to cook, I just threw it in the microwave like I usually do. Honestly, I didn’t even think about it. But it came out rough. The crust got all weird and hard, the cheese …
Not long ago, I was brushing my teeth before work and saw that little bump on my neck again. Although I had seen it before, that morning it just felt a bit more noticeable. It’s weird actually; you can ignore something for months, maybe years, and then out of nowhere, it’s all you can focus …
Last year, I went on a weekend hike with some friends. The trail was still wet from rain the night before, and things got messy fast. My shoes, which had been decent until then, just couldn’t handle it. My feet were soaked, the arches started aching early, and I nearly lost my balance more than …
I was grabbing a sandwich last week when the cashier suddenly pointed at my wrist and said, “Is that a watch? Looks like a bracelet or something.” I laughed and said, “It’s actually a Magwatch. It tells time using little magnetic balls instead of regular hands.” That kicked off a full five-minute chat, right there …
It was not long ago when a strong wave of tiredness hit me during one of my usual morning runs. I had no other options but to slow down and take a break because my heartbeat was pumping faster than normal. So, I sat on a bench, breathing heavily and thinking if there was something …
A few weeks ago, I was stuck in traffic on a scorching hot afternoon. Of course, I had the AC inside the car, but still the seat felt like it had soaked up every bit of heat from outside. I kept shifting around, hoping it would cool down faster. But the heat just kept sticking …
Last month, during the brutal heat, I was working from home with barely any airflow. The AC was too expensive to run all day long, and the fan was circulating warm air. I was literally sweating while working, and it was impossible to stay in my chair the whole time. It felt like the air …
