It is getting hotter by the day. No matter what I do with my house to cool it down, it is turning into an oven. The second heat wave this summer, the meteorologists explain. I am dripping wet even when I do absolutely nothing, let alone when I am busy cleaning the house for my beloved. She is on her way already. I have only a few hours left. The only way I can function under the circumstances is to work completely naked and to take quick showers between chores. And there are chores galore, for my beloved has been traveling much of the summer. The house is a mess. Wait a minute, though. Writing is far from doing nothing, either. It is time for another quick shower.
