Hotness...

This is my least favorite time of year...the Hot bit. Really hot, really sticky, really unpleasant. I have long hair, so I feel like a suffocating sheepdog if I don't tie it up or something when I go out into the "soup". I don't like using a/c too much, but I will happily wallow in the stuff now that it's July and my bluff is well and truly called. Too hot to knit, but I do it anyway. Too hot to spin, but I want to do it anyway. Hot, hot hot...

There are a few strategies I use to get over the hump until I get cooler weather. These strategies are:

Spring rolls. Lots of 'em.
Popsicles, when I remember to buy them.
Cold baths...sometimes with a bath bomb. Oh gods, that's a really good one...Mmmm...
Reading something comforting. Hey, when's the new Harry Potter out, anyway?
A silk nightshirt for sleeping in. Sweet soft comfort.
Club soda with some kind of exotic juice, extra ice.
State Fair. Things on sticks really make me very happy--and the rabbit and sheep exhibits!
Sweet corn. I can eat corn on the cob until I pass out. Really.
Telling myself about all the good things I'll do when autumn comes...


So there you are...
