I got invited to a baby shower that was being thrown for a woman in my church, i was cheerful to go and hang out with people I knew, bring a gift, and eat cake.
It sounded like a wonderful 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 sizzling and she had her furnace blasting away. I constantly thought that pregnant women were heat intolerant. I know I was when I had my daughter. I believe that is not the case for everyone though. The temperature control 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, but 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 my wonderful friend and I could graciously leave. That took over 2 hours of drastic heat. That furnace never kicked off, not even for a second; When I finally could leave I rushed apartment and turned my temperature control from heating to cooling. It might be 50 degrees outside but I entirely needed some more freezing air. I had had enough of the furnace for one morning. 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.
