Today's prompt is "A person you wanted to ignore today ____." I didn't want to ignore anyone today.
It is 6:46 am here now. Yesterday we didn't do much. We went to Walmart to pick up some gallons of water for hurricane season. Upon getting home, we felt sick. It was just too hot outside. I had to rest the rest of the day.
You know I was thinking last night. I was trained as a medic more than 10 years ago, and it never occurred to me that I was putting myself at severely close risk to having a heat stroke last week. I mean, duh. I don't know. I was doing what I thought I needed to do at the time. I was trying to get the AC on as quickly as possible, without having to call a repairman if possible. It just so happened to be 103 heat index at the same time. It was conundrum. It's not like I had money to spare.
I am slowly gaining weight back. It is too hot for me to do much, and I have to rest a lot. I see other people out walking, running, riding bikes, etc. I just can't do that. I take medications that require me to stay out of the sun. I have had heat injuries before, and am at high risk for more. I just can't do summer. It is another 103 heat index day today. I don't plan on leaving the house at all. I hope I can get the dishes and laundry washed. It just depends on how warm it gets in the house.
I was sweating last night. I woke up every 30 minutes or so. It was frustrating because I am so tired. I had to drink to refresh my dry mouth. I had to use the bathroom. I had to cool off from sweating. Is it Fall yet? Or better, Winter? Please let it rain soon. We need a few days of cooler weather.
I have an appointment today but it is a telehealth appointment, online. Tomorrow Caleb has an in-person appointment, and Wednesday, I have an in-person appointment.
Yesterday, Caleb wanted to spend some quality time with me, without Bella. He is jealous of Bella! We played with his Hot Wheels cars. We put on aromatherapy body cream. He made popcorn, and we watched a movie. He wanted to play more, but I was pooped.
I wanted to make some brownies, but I didn't want to heat the house.
This window unit is heaven. Just saying. I can't believe I lived in this house without one for 5 years. Caleb loves to sleep on the couch, under it. He is all cuddled up. I wish my room was as cool as it is out here in the living room. Bella didn't follow me out of the bedroom this morning. She is still laying on the bed. LOL.
I feel lazy. I already don't want to do anything, but I know I need to do things. Adulting is hard.
