OMG it is SO hot!
Today the temperature hit 43 degrees and boy am I feeling it. I left work around 3ish and the little hairs on my arms felt like they were burning off. I ended up using my umbrella to walk to the train station so I wasn’t in direct sun. I probably looked like a complete weirdo but I don’t want the UV to damage my skin.
I don’t know why I’m so conscious about covering up when it’s hot, but I have a couple of theories…
1. I’m getting older, and I’m noticing more changes in my skin. Not just wrinkles and fine lines, but more freckles popping up and differences in skin texture. I can’t help but check every week for dry patches, pigmentation and suspicious moles. In a way, maybe I’m just in denial that I’ve got visible signs of aging now.
2. The family history of skin cancer. Just because I have mixed skin doesn’t mean that I’m exempt from it. Skin cancer doesn’t discriminate and I sure as hell don’t want to risk exposure like I did when I younger. I still can’t believe I let my self get sunburnt because I hated the white cast of sunscreen (and that it would ruin my makeup). Who knows what damage I have and if it’ll ever rear its ugly head.
That scares me so so much.
But then… when I compare my skin to people around my age I feel like I’ve actually looked after it really well.
And still am.
I need to go to bed but it’s just so hot – I don’t think I’ll be able to get to sleep! This weather is just insane I do not know how people used to live without aircon in this heat! My house is HOT. My couch is HOT. Even my bedroom feels like a sauna. I seriously don’t know how I’m going to survive this week getting ready every morning without sweating all my makeup off before I leave the house.
And my poor little foster cat! I feel so so sorry for him. I have to leave him in this heat with no reprieve. Fortunately, he is an indoor cat and I have tiles in the house, so hopefully it keeps him cool when I’m away. I really should get a pet cam so I can see what he gets up to when I’m not there lol. If I have some spare cash after next pay I might go buy one. I just feel bad that I would be invading his privacy. I know that he’s a cat but I don’t want to feel sad when I’m spying on him if he’s just sitting and waiting for me to come home, you know?
This weather makes me feel so sleepy; I can barely keep my eyes open. I hope tomorrow isn’t as hot because I don’t know how much more I can take of this Aussie heat!
Goodnight!
Much Love,
