Summer has suddenly hit with a big, meaty, sweat-inducing hammer that’s waiting just outside any air-conditioned building in which you may be hiding. The moment you step out, you’re doomed. If you’re wearing something light and airy, it will get sweat-soaked more quickly than sturdier, thicker clothing, but you may be less-uncomfortable for at least a few minutes.
This happens every year. Sometimes it’s after summer solstice, sometimes it’s before. This year, summer didn’t dither, it came to town on the fastest bus it could find.
In general, this wouldn’t be a problem, only we live in the South and that means it’s humid. Hot weather only a month ago sounded far off and a hopeful event so we could all jump in and enjoy the pool. Now, just making it to the pool to get in and cool off requires a significant amount of water loss from your thighs onto the leather seats in the car.
At any rate, if you’re looking for a great way to lose water weight, come on down, we have the weather you’ve been waiting for.
The Big Boy Update: My son went to his dermatologist for the third visit today about his mollescum. It’s almost all gone, with only a few small bumps rapidly receding. His doctor proclaimed him, “nearly cured” and said there was no need to come back.
The Tiny Girl Chronicles: Sticker remover. If there as a job that required skills in getting stickers off sticker pages and sticking them on parts of your body, wrapping them around fingers and stacking them one on top of another, my daughter would be over-qualified for the position.
Fitness Update: It was too hot to run. I went to the fitness room and did a mixed workout on the elliptical machine. It’s a pretty good workout if you use the arm handles and have high resistance. I was a dripping mess when I left.
