Week 30: Hot Mama

Unfortunately not like how you might think the title suggests, the last thing I feel right now is the "attractive" type of hot, instead it is this constant radiator like heat coming from my body, together with the Hong Kong heat and humidity, making it just a little harder for these final months.

My air-con at home is always blasting at 23 degrees and yet I still feel the urge sometimes to strip naked and stand in front of an open fridge door to cool down (disclaimer: I haven't actually done that yet).   Luckily even according to the Chinese medicine wisdom once you are at the eighth month mark it is okay to consume foods with the "cool/cold" nature so I can finally have that juicy watermelon I have been eyeing for the last few months, not to mention I have long ignored the advise of not eating anything cold and chowed down ice cream and cold drinks for a few weeks already.

The most amusing thing is when I am up at 3am every night for my usual n+ times bathroom break that I see mic curled up under the sheet fully covered and wrapped in blankets while I am sleeping on top of all the sheets, still panting and reaching for the remote to turn on the ceiling fan.  This was such a contrast to me being the one that's always cold, and mic being the one that's always hot -- I guess with this role reversal I can finally sympathize with him and he can finally sympathize with me in the past.

Strange what hormones can do to you.
