Even though it has air conditioning, I don’t like to turn it on since we haven’t been able to afford to install air at home. I try to use my commute to transition from the chilly recirculated office air to the stuffy heat of the house. This was not the time to try and quit smoking. Driving home on a day like this definitely merited at least one cigarette, maybe the whole pack. I hardly made it to the freeway before I ripped off the cardigan I wore all day. I knew it was going to be hot, so I wore a pink summer dress instead of my usual all black ensembles. A few of the people at work even commented on my out of character pink outfit. At work I’m black and white, I save my color for weekends. By the time I made it home, the dress clung to every part of me. I peeled myself off the seat and gathered the folders I’d lugged home with me. I’d be up until way past midnight getting everything done, but working in your pajamas trumped being at work any day–even in this heat. I threw my purse over my shoulder, pressed the folders to my chest, clutched the cardigan with one hand and the take-out I’d grabbed for dinner with the other.
