Well, with my health issues, I don’t do well in the heat at all. And in my neck of the woods, we get a lot of humidity in the summer too, and between the heat and humidity, it really does me in. So I stay indoors as much as possible. During the worst days, I’ll use Instacart before I go out to buy groceries. Of course I still go to work but that’s only a short walk out to my car and a short walk from the parking lot into the building.
I’m not a hot tea drinker so I wouldn’t try that either way, but there is something to be said about perspective and relativity. I know when I was living at my parents house taking care of my mom, they had central air but it didn’t work the greatest. That was mainly due to the fact that it was a 50-year-old house that needed a lot of work done as far as insulation. But all you had to do was go outside and get the mail and then come back in, and all of a sudden it felt much cooler.
