Ladies of Hive Community Contest -#312

Hello, everyone! 🤗

I discovered this Ladies of Hive contest with an interesting theme from archontribe post. I thought it would be nice to try. It's my first to join Ladies of Hive community contest.

Indeed weather affects our emotions. When it's sunny, we feel more cheerful but when it's gloomy, starting tasks-- or even getting out of bed-- is a little slow and tough. Would you agree?

In my country, we only have two seasons: summer and the rainy season. I wish we had four. In the summer, it's easier to move around, meaning I can easily plan to go out without worrying about which pair of shoes to wear. This is because rainy weather which brings rivers of water to the streets and roads, is absolutely troublesome. Sometimes you even need a waist- high rain boots for flooded streets which I do not have. Therefore, I'd rather be stuck at home. We always anticipate this phenomenon, so we buy extra food to stock the fridge, freezer and cupboards in order to survive.

Although rainy season is this troublesome, it does have its upside. My electric bill is significantly lower and the plants look very happy. Interesting how some plants love the rain as well as the sun. And watching their flexibility is wonderful. If I were a plant, I would be more of a succulent, though. I don't like direct sunlight and water me sparingly.

Summer season is so hot. Temperature may reach to 35°C but it feels like 41°C to maybe even 50°C. What makes it worse is that the humidity is quite high too. Imagine getting out of the shower and immediately sweating! 🥵 I change my clothing many times a day. I feel like, "Oh my, I have so much water in me--yeah, like a succulent. And it feels like everytime I rehydrate, I just start sweating more right after. 🥵 What I drink seems to come out in a matter of seconds through more sweating. This weather drives me insane big time.

But of course, I drink for health reason to avoid getting headache and other dehydration symptoms. Doing outdoor activities isn't wise, but at least in the early morning or late afternoon, it's possible to go for a walk, do some gardening, etc. The AC is my best friend, and I wish I could keep it on 24 hours a day. However , I only turn it on at night because the cost of electricity is so high. The electric fans work hard during the daytime. All of these make my day livable.

So well, having said all that, I just have to try to enjoy and brave both seasons -- the wet and the dry.

Thank you very much for taking the time to stop by this post. Have a nice and pleasant day, whatever seasons you're in now.
