I’m not the hardiest man you’ve ever met, there’s no doubt about it.
I’m certainly difficult when it comes to pain and physical ailments, but as far as temperature is sad, my body doesn’t know how to thrive.
I have almost no ability to control my own internal temperature, and I’m at the mercy of the external air temperature 24/7. If the air temperature is even mildly chilly, I’m very cold cold, then even a chilly breeze will cover me in goosebumps from head to toe, and it’ll take an external source of heat to hot me back up. At household I’m constantly bumping up the heat settings so that I can function without being wrapped up in a thick blanket. My husbandy will be covered in sweat through his tee shirt, but I can’t drag myself away from the air vents where I’m soaking up as much central heat as possible. A small draft will send me running to my warm, cozy bed, and I won’t emerge again until the thermostat has been adjusted accordingly! During the summer time I don’t fare any better. The heat causes me rapid dehydration and my body overheats faster than seems natural I rely on a/c between May and November to avoid getting sick to my stomach or falling prey to horrible migraines. I know I overuse my Heating, Ventilation and A/C unit in both circumstances, but I don’t know how to be a functional adult without powering up my central heating and cooling most nights. Thank god I live in new times and can expect Heating, Ventilation and A/C control to keep me healthy!
