Tropical Shock, Again and Again

.
I just cannot get used to it.  Sweating profusely in swim trunks even on our ground floor, our coolest area, I turn the fan on me as I open a cold beer from the frig.  The humidity is back to its normal uncomfortable levels.  The huge shock is when I look at the wall calendar which tells me it is January!  January back in the northern USA was hard frost!  This is so hard to conceive.  If this is our winter, what will the hot season be like?  My computer is over-hot and making alarming noises.  I'm dripping wet.

I think that the few nights of sleeping without a fan blowing on me are over, as our brief record cold snap was too good to be true.  We sweat away the day from mid-morning through night, with a brief semi-tolerable temperature in the morning. As we have no hot-water heater for our plumbing, waking up is a harsh cold shower.  I realize that hot and cold are relative concepts, but as one transplanted from the north of North America I will always experience the Tropic heat as profoundly alien.  Whew!
