Frazzled, Bedraggled, Rattled


This is how I feel right now,
It isn’t how I look
The temperature’s so hot right now
I couldn’t give a Friday afternoon

Notice the hair.

Not like mine.

Not at all. Well, maybe, in parts. But who’s counting?

And the hooter… reddened through all the sneezing.

And the shirt… clingy like a second skin.

And the sun… hot, hot, hot. Especially this evening.

And I have a headache.

Oh, woe is me.

Sigh.

Time to lie down in a darkened room, methinks.

It must be Summer…

Apart from all of the above, I still Feel Good.

That’s all.

    Sounds like the humidity has crept in…I can take the heat, but not the humidity….Put ice in a wash cloth and place it on the back of your neck….Relief 🙂 VK

      Thanks for the suggestion, VK. In the end, I allowed myself to drift off to sleep. I was still warm, but didn’t notice it as much!

    I’m sorry you’re under the weather (literally), but what a fabulous sketch! Hope you feel better soon. (At least “better enough” to give a Friday afternoon – that made me laugh!)

    Hi Tom! 🙂

    Yes it is warm and sticky isn’t it? 😦

    I opened all the windows when I got up, but its still 25’C, however humidity isn’t so bad at 26%

    I can feel the thunder in the air, so I’m looking forward to when it finally raiins!!! 🙂

    Have a good night, a good week and I hope the headache eases soon! 🙂

    God Bless!

      We had rain, Prenin, which cleared things up, but no thunder. I was looking forward to that as well!
      Headache’s only the heat I think, Prenin. They come and go… sigh…

    Soon, I anticipate that I’ll be wilting on this side of the pond, too, Tom. But summer started off wonderfully over here. It won’t last. Sending cool thoughts your way. You’ll recognize they’re from NYC by the soot coating.

      I’m starting to notice the odd sooty patch, LA, so thanks! Your thoughts worked.
      We had rain yesterday, which was pleasant.
