Unpredictable weather and what comes with it

Yesterday, Dennis went to our apartment ahead as I needed to fetch Jade on the second floor. When we arrived, I was surprised to see that the aircon in the living room has been turned on because we have been using only the fans for one week now. I asked Dennis why and he told me "parang pugon ang init ng bahay pagpasok ko." (The apartment is very hot, it's like an oven when I got in.")

I went to our room to change and whoa, it was really very very warm even if he already turned on the fan minutes earlier and even if we left the windows opened. I am glad he turned on the aircon otherwise we'll be suffocated. The weather has been weird lately. We thought it's starting to get cold, it's supposed to be autumn now, but no. The weather condition has caused us to get sick and when we thought we were already mending, it started to get warm again so the another set of virus attacked us. The temperature ranges from 28degC to 33degC almost like summer.

Jade and I have been sick almost two weeks ago, we both had our set of medicines - yes, several of them. Unlike in the Philippines where a one or two capsule/s can cover cough and colds plus body pain and headache, here in Taiwan, we get at least 5 different tablets. One or two is/are for cough, another is for the colds, one is for headache, the other is for the body pain and the doctor would even add some syrups.The syrups for the kids are fruity flavored but the common black fluid for the adults tastes so odd. We're finishing up on our medicines by tomorrow. We're set to have this year's flu vaccine shot not far from now.

The huge swimming pool in our compound has been drained since last week but it seems to me that they should have extended the facility until it really gets cold. I think most people still think that dipping into the pool could still be of ease at this time of the year. The unoccassional rains don't really help that much.
.....

Heat rashes became very visible in Jade's body today even with the application of Fissan prickly heat powder and constant lotioning. She got it from the warm weather and also had her share of diaper rash. We bought the usual brand earlier this evening and decided to keep the unused new diapers. I gave it a try for budget's sake but it didn't really work.
.....

Turning on the aircon alone in the room still makes Jade sweat at some points in the night. Her sweat is literally "ga-monggo sized" (green bean sized) so I had to wake up regularly to wipe her head, nape, check her back and change her position. For the past two nights, I thought of turning on the fan as well. Luckily it helped. No more sweats all through the night.

Ate Rosie noticed Jade's rashes today so she also decided to use the aircon. Good thing, they got it fixed yesterday. Now, she and her hubby no longer need to drag the cushion out from the bedrroom to set up in their living room. They've been sleeping in their sala for more than one month now as their bedroom's aircon has given up.
