Two worlds

I feel like I'm living in two worlds.

One world is tropical -- bright, sunny, humid, hot.

The other world is more cave-like -- dark, silent (except for the whir of fans) and cool.  Blissfully cool.

I try to spend as much time in the cave-like world, but occasionally I have to venture out into the stifling heat of the tropics. 

As I first step into the warmth and humidity, it doesn't seem so bad.  But with each step I take away from my chilly sanctuary, the heat becomes more and more oppressive.  I can actually feel the energy-sapping heaviness settle upon me as if someone had draped a massive full length fur coat around my shoulders.

If only I could stay in the cave forever . . . or at least until this heat wave breaks.
