I was out yesterday visiting a friend who does not have A/C either and when I got home our house was even hotter than hers. I had to go down into the basement and stay there the rest of the day. I drank buckets of water and I'm still dealing with a mild case of heat exhaustion. Tired, retaining water, needing to nap is the extent of it, but I'm worried. I tend to get heat exhaustion that lands me in the ER.

Thank heaven it's blissfully cool in the basement, otherwise I'd be forced to compete with other heat-stressed citizens in the Metro area for the last of the window airconditioners on the shelves of the hardware store. Two people came to blows over the last one in stock the summer before. (It's not the heat, it's the stupidity.)

I've got all manner of things I really, really need to be doing upstairs, but simply cannot as long as the heat wave lasts. I am getting to watch some movies that I've not seen in a while, though as a result...laughed out loud last night watching Return to Me, one of my very favorite romantic comedies. Must watch again tonight with the Dirctor's commentary--love that Bonnie Hunt.
