Dealing 1 With the Heat


Jolene: I’m sweating like a pig. When is this heat wave going to end? 


Eric: I’ve no idea, but I’m not moving a muscle until it does. Hand me that pitcher 2 of iced tea, would you? 


Jolene: Get it yourself. I’m not moving until it drops below 80 degrees. 


Eric: It’s not the temperature. It’s the humidity. It’s not even the dog days of summer yet and it’s scorching 3 outside. 


Jolene: It’s scorching inside, too. Why can’t that fan move any faster? Remind me why we moved into an apartment with no air conditioner? 


Eric: We couldn’t afford an apartment with an air conditioner. We were lucky to get this place. 


Jolene: I don’t feel so lucky right now. My legs are stuck to this chair and I’ve sweated through my clothes. 


Eric: We could buy a portable air conditioner. 


Jolene: We can? 


Eric: Yeah, but you’d have to get up. 


Jolene: Ugh, let’s do it tomorrow.
