Dress scantily [naked is best if company allows]. Set up a box fan. Put on some music you really like but know you couldn’t possibly enjoy right now, because you’re too hot. Stand in front of the fan and spritz yourself all over with a spray bottle of alcohol. Don’t forget your scalp and the back of your neck. [Be sure floor and surrounding items won’t be damaged.]
This will cool you off in a big hurry, and as you realize how comfortable you are becoming you will start to enjoy that music more than you ever have enjoyed it before. The conjunction of those two pleasures is likely to make you start to giggle, and the whole world will seem brighter.
It won’t get you out of the house to some event you really wanted to attend, but it’ll sure make you happier.
