If at all possible, it felt hotter today than yesterday. The humidity made the air almost solid. Breathing was challenging. The fan worked overtime while I sat working in front of it. It feels like I've been dealing with this going on three weeks now. Weather forecasts always show something cooler and somewhat drier three to four days from now. So, now that means the weekend may see a break in this current heat wave -- don't worry, it still will be summer weather, just not as intense as it has been.
I don't enjoy going to the beach or to a pool. Yet, when I saw a group of people in a backyard pool yesterday, it looked very inviting. With all the beaches in the area, even a quick dip seems to offer a possible quick cooling off. I did head out to the drug store for a couple items and to wander the air-conditioned aisles. That did help for a while. Once the sun goes down, the house seems to get hotter, the breeze outside diminishes and the hope of a cool overnight disappears. Tomorrow is expected to bring much the same weather. I may need to head out to shop for a bathing suit after all. Cooling centres are often located at malls so a bit of time out shopping may help. Drinking more fluid than usual helps, too. Ice cubes in pet water dishes can help those who can only sweat through nose and toe leather -- not enough to cool a body.
The song chosen for today came from the worst part of the day. It doesn't reflect my main mood, just that when the heat is worst. The video shows some intriguing clothing styles <smile>. Enjoy!
