Puppy Days of Summer

So, for some inane reason, Mother Nature has decided to give us two days in a row which are reminiscent of July and August weather. We still have yet to see a full spring; days of balmy 78 degree weather with a night breeze calling for a light cardigan at night.

Nope. Instead we get highs of 96 and 98 this Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. Unadulterated, blistering heat, guaranteed to induce potential dehydration, exhaustion and irritability. Ok, I will digress, as I don't want to make this a horribly negative post full of complaints.

To stay cool, I'd highly recommend using AC if you have it, or at least investing in a good old fan, which can rotate and push the air around. If you happen to have cross ventilation, like I do, keeping the windows wide open can also cool things down. If you are going to be outside or running around in the heat, keep water or Gatorade with you and remember to take breaks, not overexert yourself and wear a high SPF to avoid getting burned.

This is perfect stay indoors and watch movies weather, or a good time to get some organization or cleaning done, as long as you don't do too much at once. I just washed a ton of dishes that had piled up in the sink and plan on vacuuming and picking up some new cutlery (we really need knives!) tomorrow.

One fun thing to kill about ten minutes in this heat...type your name into either a Word Doc, or an email and see what suggestions pop up. My best Spellcheck name? Gunman Elephant. Be safe, take necessary precautions for the next two days. Then exhale, plaster a relieved smile across your face and venture out on Friday, when it will be a blissful 81 degrees.
