Heat brags: I actually enjoyed walking out of my air conditioned building into the heat yesterday afternoon. Admittedly, I wouldn't have lasted much more than the 5 block walk home, but it was kind of fun, the same way the snow is fun for a bit.

I've done fairly well simply laying low in a dampened tank top, drinking lots of water and reading these afternoons/evenings - this all taking place in an apartment that gets a ton of afternoon sun.

I think I've even found a way to help my animals deal - surrounding their resting places with frozen water bottles.
