When you arrive
from the vacation in Hungary, you keep on hagning on to the habit of dressing up for the
outside weather conditions, but you finally accept that fact that here you need
to do it the other way around: dress up for the inside.
45 degrees
outside, 20 degrees inside. With a continental dressing style it is almost
impossible to adapt to 40 or even 45 degrees. The only way of adaptation is
that you do not spend time at that heat. Nowadays in Muscat it is not advised
to spend much time outside during daytime. You rush out from your house into your
car you cool down at maximum speed and lowest temperature. At arrival you do
the same: rush in to the cool building as fast as you can. Or else you feel like fainting.
Thanks to the eventual temparature fluctuation and an international virus summit at TAISM I am struggling
with a stubborn flu for more than one week now. Of course I am inpatient, which
means that when I feel a bit better I try to consider things can be set back to
normal and I forget about health issues. But my body does not tolerate this
impatience and tells: “give time to yourself! Accept your state and live with
it. Otherwise, my darling, you may want to go back to the start line and get a
soar throat, running nose and low mood again. “
This flu also
brought my temprerature sensory system upside down so I try to respect my
sickness and feeling cold all the time. So I switched to dress for inside. I
started to wear long trousers or leggings, sometimes even socks, long sleeves
and I also put on a sweater and tie a scarf around my neck.
So the rule
stands here too: Do not act according to your anticipations but according to reality!
