Need to stop lying around and get outside...
If it just weren't for the 100 degree temperatures, I would do just that. I am not a heat-loving person. I could never live in Texas or southern California or Florida. I admire those of my author pals who revel in the high temps...but since I carry my own thermal-blanket of adipose tissue, heat is not my friend.
I can handle temps in the high 70's or even the low 80's...but when they slip up above 90, I am a total wimp. I get heat stroke getting into a sun-heated car when I go to the store! When I park my car out in the sun, I have to put those foil/mylar sun shades in all the windows to tolerate getting into it again.
At home, I have a carport, but even that doesn't keep the steering wheel from toasting my hands or the interior temperature of the vehicle from melting my makeup if I am wearing any. That is probably why I don't wear makeup in the summer. At all.
Sigh. How well do YOU handle heat? Are you like me, needing an air-conditioner when the temp in the house hits 80? Or do you lie in the sun on a patio and use those mirror thingys to bake yourself to a darker shade? What is your comfort zone, temp wise? Do you adore steeping like a tea-bag in a hot pool? Or do you spritz cold water over your face and arms? I for one like to wet a hand towel with cold water and hang it around my neck when I go outside on super-hot days. Keeps me from roasting alive. I actually get heat-headaches in high heat.
Come on...share your heat index with us.
Hugs!

Oh, I need refrigeration!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, girl!
DeleteSorry Fran. I adore the heat. 100 is a pleasant day for me. Anything under 70 is too cold. I envy you having summer at the moment. Fortunately winter here seems to be done for another year.

100 and dry beats all heck out of 100 and 80% humidity. Utah is dry. We are at 5000 feet above sea level here and in a natural desert. Luckily we have water from our mountains. But 100 is still way to warm for this old lady. LOL!
DeleteSnort! I can handle 82 degrees...but if I ran around naked the world as we know it would end...
