Heat Wave

It's hot. Temperatures are reaching record highs. And I am crazy enough not to drive or turn on the A.C. What's wrong with me? Well, if this is global warming, I want to do something about it. It's a pretty good motivator, actually. And walking/biking isn't too bad, with plenty of water and taking it slowly.

Plus, I have a North/West facing apartment, which does heat up some, but cools off relatively well overnight. And it stays relatively cool if I keep the windows closed during the day. I got dowels yesterday, so now I can open the windows safely at night. Only a crack, but it still helps.

The main problem with the heat is that it's demotivating. (I know that's not a word, but it means what I want to say. :-) I don't want to do anything or make any decisions. Maybe I'll be able to overcome my inertia this afternoon, or tomorrow, or some other time in the future. But for now, I doubt I'll do much today that can be put off until tomorrow. :-)
