Heat is intolerable. I wear layers of clothing not because I want to achieve warmth, but because I don’t want to be cold. Why did I choose to wear so many layers today? I have to take one off. But the room is dead silent and I’ll have to assess the right time to do it. I need a window of opportunity. An actual open window would be great right now, not the metaphorical kind. Maybe I could just roll my sleeves up and rest my forearms on the cold part of my laptop. I think that’s a fair compromise, but then again, it’s a temporary solution to an increasingly serious problem.
