Sneeze

it's hot, it's summer. I'm melting, drooping, wondering why I don't want to stay inside.

When it gets hot, you know it because I soak my feet in cold water once every half hour to stay cool. Silly? Yes. But it works.

Darkside is busy busy busy. Votania is busy busy busy. Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue: The Movie is sillier. Any more cheese, and we'd grill it and eat it for lunch.

Nephew is playing electronic pinball on Enki in Mommy's room. It's too hot for darts.

I need to call Mama and wish her a happy Mother's Day.

That works, and also wetting the hair down works even better. The reason? Because we lose a great deal of body heat through feet...and HEAD. And if that area is wet, the evaporation of water removes even more heat from the body. Wet hair works better because the head is the largest source of heat loss of the body, and the hair holds the water against the head for a longer period of time before it all evaporates.

I don't find it particularly silly.. then again, I have to be careful what hiking boots I buy, because my feet get sooooo hot so quickly (and that makes the rest of my feel crappy).

Happy feet are the secret to comfort. I'm convinced of this.
