I got invited to a baby shower that was being thrown for a woman in my church.
I was happy to go and hang out with people I knew, bring a gift, and eat cake.
It sounded like a good way to spend the afternoon. I showed up at the lady’s house on time and I immediately regretted my decision. I should have just given her a gift at church or something. Her house was unbearably warm and she had her furnace blasting away. I always thought that pregnant women were heat intolerant. I know I was when I had my daughter. I guess that is not the case for everyone though. The thermostat was set so high that I was feeling dizzy and uncomfortable within about 5 minutes. I could tell that I wasn’t the only one either. Only about 3 people seemed impervious to the heat. They kept dragging things on while the rest of us were trying to get to the cake so we could graciously leave. That took over 2 hours of extreme heat. That furnace never kicked off. Not even for a second. When I finally could leave I rushed home and turned my thermostat from heating to cooling. It might be 50 degrees outside but I really needed some more cold air. I had had enough of the furnace for one day. I might have had enough of the furnace for the rest of the winter. I just don’t understand how someone could live in such heat. I could barely last 2 hours in it.
