I am very displeased with the 96 degree weather we're supposed to get tomorrow and Tuesday. Do you hear me? VERY DISPLEASED.
It usually takes a little while for me to acclimate to the heat, but this year's been especially bad. All I want to do is lie around the house in my underwear sipping on a cold drink half awake / half asleep.
Moving makes me nauseous. On Friday, my skin hurt when air blew over it and I was all achy and stiff. I took my temperature and it was 100.6!
(Even by dr. standards that is usually a "real" fever.)
I thought I was coming down with something, but.... nope! I felt better as soon as I could lie in my room in the air conditioning. So yes boys and girls, I was suffering from heat exhaustion, and it wasn't even 90 degrees yet. I'm totally going to be one of those little old ladies that someone finds dead from heat stroke in her house sitting in front of her open refrigerator trying to cool off.
Aw well, maybe I'll read another article for class and then go to the pool at 6 or so. How pathetic am I that I have to go in the evening so I don't roast. Damn Caucasian skin.
6 Pearls of Wisdom:
Haha, nice. I'm right there with you on the heat stroke.
My own damn caucasian skin is currently totally rocking its first sunburn of the year. Sad story.
Aww, well this brown girl can't go during the day either, because then I will get "dark," and my mother will flip out on me. I have problems adjusting to heat too, which should not be the case, since I am from Florida. For the past two years, though, I seriously can't handle the heat. Winter and I are BFF, but in summer, that A/C better work or it's going to get ugly. (I'm told that my family has fans in the DR. This better not be an untruth.)
I hear you - I went for a run this morning, and when I got back I was so exhausted I could barely move...
Those of us who have the weather man predicting snow for tomorrow want to tell you that we really don't feel bad for you.
I don't know if this happens to other people, but once my hcg starts to rise (if you know what I mean), my usually poor (s/p multiple heat injuries) heat tolerance gets even poorer...
Alison -- Interesting.
