Thanks for the post from Sylvester Campbell
I love Texas, don’t
get me wrong, but boy am I glad summer’s about to be over. I moved here
from Oregon for a great job offer and I don’t think I’ve ever been
anywhere as hot in my entire life. And that’s saying a lot – I’ve
traveled to Africa and back! Being here in Texas the first few months
was tough because I didn’t know anyone and my job had me working LONG
hours. To make matters worse the AC unit in the condo I bought went out
my second week in and since it was only April I didn’t think too much of
it. Big mistake. Come June I was cursing my broken AC unit and I had to
pay someone thousands to come in and fix it.
The good news was the AC
guy told me about some electric companies in Dallas
I hadn’t heard of and I did some research and started saving money on
my utility bills, so that was nice. The downside was that during the
summer I had to run my AC 24 hours a day so the dog wouldn’t die at home
while I was at work! One good thing about Oregon was the
temperature…sure it got kind of cold in the winter but in general I
would say it was pretty temperate there – I probably only used my air
conditioning for a month out of the year, total.
Anyway, I don’t live
there anymore so I’m going to have to get used to it! Another thing that
killed me about the heat was my hair. I’ve never had a lot of trouble
or actually even given much thought to it at all but when the humidity
went up here, so did my hair. I have naturally curly hair and it was
just NOT having this heat! I guess next year I’m going to have to invest
in some good leave-in conditioner…that should be cheaper than a new air
conditioning unit, I guess!
