#preheated

I awoke at ten am.

Air conditioner on full blast in the living room;

small bedroom fan working hard,

blowing right on me.

Even with our attempts to cool the trailer,

I can feel the heat making it's way in.

Even Ripley, who is usually

excited to cuddle, stares up at me with big eyes

and let's out a chirp.

She puts one paw on my bare leg

as I pet her head.

Shortly after, she goes back to curl up

on the floor.

The day is already large and preheated-

as if I were in an oven

waiting to bake.

Stay safe and stay cool out there.
