The rainy season has come. Last night and this afternoon we had pretty much torrential rainfall with our thunderstorms, with some drizzle in between, and a couple conveniently placed clear moments which coincided with my run out to get Rachelle’s bus ticket, and my travel to and from Pilates class this evening.
With the rain, of course, comes the humidity. It was pretty brutal when we got here in September, but I’m not sure I can ever really get used to it. The air might not be all that hot, but if you so much as walk briskly, you won’t be able to cool down until you find an air conditioner. Our three dehumidifiers and our air conditioner are going to be running damn near full-time.
Rachelle is in Zhuhai until tomorrow evening–she didn’t want to take any more two-hour plus bus rides than she absolutely needed in this weather, so that leaves Rigel and me free to do what we please. Which isn’t much, given our budget constraints. On the plus side, Rigel’s hormones seem to be winding down. He isn’t stinking up the house with body odor or pooping everywhere as much as he was for a while, and he seems to have mostly gotten over his temporary dislike of me. Now we chill together like bros. Knock on wood.
And we have the March winds. Had to pick up the stupid garbage cans 3 times yesterday.
