Every summer in the desert it's like the desert has a fever and everybody waits for the fever to break (monsoon) and the longer it takes the more the tension rises in everybody and the hotter everything gets and the more miserable everybody is -- so bad that even people visiting can feel it and ask what's wrong
And the ones who lives here full time spit out lines like "it's a dry heat haha" and squint through the air that burns your eyeballs and the skin of your face even when you're not in direct sunlight
There's more violence and accidents and road rage incidents and pets getting lost and you wonder is this the year the fever never breaks
And then the first haboob comes rolling in looking like something out of a horror movie and blankets everything in sandy dirt but it brings a storm and rain and clouds and it's terrible because there's residual heat left in everything for days even after the clouds come
And it's wet and hot and awful and the tension is bleeding away but still there
You wait because you've been fooled before by clouds that only bring a few minutes of sprinkles and this year it happened three times before the real monsoon started
And when it kept raining and the clouds stayed for three days and the heat finally finally finally backed off to the point where pool decking meant to stay cool "no matter how hot it is outside" doesn't burn your feet today and you finally take a breath
The pools are still so hot it feels like bathwater and it's not even refreshing but it's okay because the monsoon has started and everybody can breathe again
It'll get hot again and it'll still be horrible but the fever broke and everybody can feel it
I had my first official nosebleed of the year which means that I’m about to start getting a nosebleed at least two times a week until well into December. This ALSO may be proof of an iron deficiency. Which is lovely! Cant wait to be walking to class and suddenly be covered in blood because it has happened before and it will happen again <3
It’s 57 degrees and I can feel the cold in my hips and knees. I’m wearing a corporate branded sweater and I want to crawl into an oven just to get the cold out of my joints

This is the real story of how I went broke on Primogems and Starglitter and then worked my ass off for every single wish after that, just to bring Wrio his dragon boyfriend
