So what do you do when you have day after day of high heat and humidity? Well on the day with the heat and humidity warning from Environment Canada (that was yesterday – with humidity it got up to 42C/107F), you hide inside by the air conditioner. But if it’s just a disgustingly overheated Sunday?
You go to visit the park down the street from your parents and let your monkey dangle from the bars.
And you let your little puffin play in the sand.
(And you can even send your sister down the slide for fun!)
And then when the advisory breaks and it’s Tuesday and the incessant thunderstorms from the night before haven’t done all that much to break the haze, you decide “screw this, I have cabin fever” and you go outside anyway, choosing the semi-shaded courtyard of the building complex over the blazing sun-drenched park.
And you blow bubbles.
And drink water in the shade on the grass.
Then you come inside, drink a gallon of water and hope tomorrow will cool off just a little bit.
Years ago I would have attempted a wicked comment about how much worse the heat and humidity was here (Pensacola FL), but when I climbed off a flight in your area I could tell no difference between the two locations. A major disappointment since I was expecting a cool temperature and low humidity. Sometimes I head to a mall and let them pay for the A/C while I check out a bookstore.
I think the recent heat wave got all of us. I don’t mean to be ignorant, but do you have any beaches close to you? We went on Sunday and it was amazing how comfortable it was by the shore. Joey gets overheated really fast when it’s hot out and his whole body gets red. If we can’t take another hot day inside, I set up the kiddie pool or the sprinkler and it keeps him cool and happy.
Looks like fun! It’s been very hot here, too.
I wanna blow bubbles. That looks like fun. Cute outfits!
Nope. We’ve just been inside. Our lawn. needs. mowed. But we’re too. damn. sweaty. to. care.
Thankfully, there’s a cool down on the way. *jumps up and down… then sweats to death while doing so*
Your sister is a pretty good sport for going down that slide. I’m sure the kids got a kick out it!
Good sport? Um, er, YEAH, I was being a good sport!
Actually, I was just grateful I had a good excuse to go down the slide at the age of 26!
Now I need to find some kids around here to bring to the park so I can go down the slide again, hee!
