Difficulties concentrating plagued most of my day. I slept little last night -- about 4 hours and not continuous. It was warm and humid inside until about 3 AM when it cooled somewhat. I was up to open the windows then with two more 'awake' times one that lasted almost 2 hours -- when the alarm was set to wake me. There is irony in there somewhere. The day was very warm with hotter 'feel like' temperatures. I tried to concentrate on revising course materials for the next term, but it was so difficult. I had my usual morning tea at the office. When meeting with someone in mid-afternoon, I had to stop myself and apologize for talking at a maniacal pace. For some reason, the caffeine affected me more than usual. The day ended well with some assistance in packing things off a book shelf to move to a research space. That space has no air circulation and no windows -- just a wee closet in the middle of the hallway. Needless to say it was like a sauna with the three of us trying to pack without being able to move much. The work went quickly and with a few laughs along the way.
The house feels hotter than last evening and I am fighting to remain awake long enough to get things ready for work in the morning. The selection shared seemed to fit the overall tone of the day quite well. The lyrics even speak to the sweaty-ness of trying to sleep in this nasty weather. I've featured this group several times -- love their quirky lyrics and fun melodies. Enjoy!
