Wicked Night

5/7” Mixed media on paper

Don’t you just love those hot Summer nights where you toss and turn, throw the sheets on and off, you sweat even with the fan blowing right on you?

That’s what I call a “Wicked Night” and that is what we have been dealing with lately. Oh, and my cat still wants to lay ON me while in bed, and since I don’t know how to say ‘no’ to her, I suffer even more. Air conditioning would be a dream! ❄️

I can’t wait till November.

    I feel for you – I hate the heat! We have had a few what are hot nights for us. and that’s more than enough… I would always allow my cat to sleep on me no matter what the weather:)

      We don’t have it. Usually there is a breeze and the fans help, but the air isn’t moving and the humidity is high this time of year. 🥵

    My cat woke me up at 2 am this morning, and I found myself lying in sweat-soaked sheets. I’m so sick of this brutal desert heat.

    The heat is truly a problem this year. It’s been keeping us inside, since the humidity and high temps make it so awful to be outside.

      Yeah, I’ve heard that from other people I know in Chicago, it can be dangerous, be safe Gigi!

    November does sound nice about right now! “Wicked Night” does look like a most vibrant night of tossing and turning in between dreaming. Maybe a few nightmares tossed in. Captivating! 👏🏻

    Perhaps try popping your cat in the
    freezer an hour before bedtime 😸🤔🕶️

    Love your painting! A lot going on there.

    I know what you mean with the fan on and on and off with the sheets. I’ve had much of the same here with the high 90 degree days.

    I’m looking forward to the fall too Tiffany.

    My cat used to keep me warm in winter. So I can imagine how hard it is to say no in the heat.

    I hope that the wicked nights are coming to a close soon for us.

    Trying to sleep in the high heat has been really trying since the begging of July.

    Have a great week ahead 💕.

    Definitely sympathize with this 😩

    Incidentally, I recently came across an interesting article! Interviews with people who don’t have a/c:

    Maybe something in there will help you out! 🤞
