Feeling the heat

[fenchurch]

I tried to refrain from mentioning yesterday, after reading so many people commenting on the heat, that our high for the day was 66°. Well, now I'm sitting here in southern California... it's just after 10:00pm and it's still ten degrees hotter than our highest temperature yesterday, back home. I feel like I'm about to melt! I suspect I may do just that tomorrow, when we head down to San Diego.

Note to self: Drink lots of water. Maybe get some Gatorade.

I'm feeling simultaneously elated and bummed... Comic-Con tomorrow! But I'm missing WriterCon! I've said it before, but why does everything have to happen on the same weekend? Even if I hadn't been able to go to Comic-Con and hadn't gone to WriterCon, I'd still have to choose between the company picnic, the Firefly marathon at the Kirkland Performance Center and the Scottish Games. Sheesh. This weekend is like a mini "Year of the Jackpot." (Speaking of which, the first book in the Virginia Collection is supposed to arrive while I'm gone, of course.)

Two suggestions:

1) Drink *all the time*.
2) Take lots of fatigue breaks.

These two things got my out-of-shape carcass through the high-temperature, high-humidity conditions at Dizzyland last month. Especially recommended if you plan on being up and around all day, though you should probably give yourself twice as many fatigue breaks since you're still recuperating.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I probably sound like your mom.

Heh! Yeah, I'm planning on all of the above. We're going to pick up some bottled water on our way down to San Diego, plus I'll probably end up hitting some vending machines for water during the day.
