Man, sirens and sirens and sirens all day long up on the main drag. I assume heat-related illnesses. 101 sez my temp gauge, and it's already 94 in the house, with the afternoon being the worst time as the sun comes around and hits the house full on about 4 to 8 p.m.

I want to capture clips but I can't stand the thought of firing up the super hot external drive. Maybe later. I also have a fic to beta, but my god I'm so sleepy... I can't stay awake during the day, but I can't sleep at night. WTF.

I hope my fellow Seattleites/Northwesterners are finding some way to keep cool. You remember that classic Twilight Zone ep where the people are burning up in the heat because the earth has changed orbit and is drawing closer and closer to the sun? And then we find out at the end that the main woman is hallucinating it because they are in fact freezing to death? I wonder if maybe this is a hallucination...

1) The iced drink is your friend.

2) How humid is it? If it's below 25%, run a load of towels through handwash cycle and set the spin to the lowest setting. Open the windows and tack these to the frames and put a fan there to help suck the air in. Instant swamp cooler.

3) The cool bath is your friend.

I was going to say humidity is too high, but NWS is reporting 22% RH. Color me surprised. (This morning it was 56%.)

I don't know that I have ever peed as much in a 3-day cycle as I have the past few days. I drank so many iced beverages that it was ridiculous. Good thing I always keep multiple ice trays in the freezer!!
