Shades drawn, a\/c on, slowly moving only when necessary. Yesterday, that meant a lot of crawling around on the floor, because I was hooking up our surround sound (I am becoming an expert and soon will be seen driving a painted\/wrapped Scion emblazoned &#8220;Jen on Demand! Hookin&#8217; Up All Yo&#8217; Shit!&#8221;). The only benefit was the scientific fact that heat rises, and by being flat on the floor, I was as far from the heat as I could get.<\/p>\n<p>I saw a lot of people yesterday driving around with their windows down, and I could only guess that they were trying to improve their gas mileage by not running the a\/c, or else I missed the bit on the news about a large number of folk breaking out of the asylum &#038; knocking off a car dealer. I must say, unless you are from oh, around the equator, I can&#8217;t justify the gas mileage savings in this heat. Oddly enough though, I am the girl who immediately starts to sweat &#038; takes a good fifteen minutes in front of a fan to stop? Yesterday? Didn&#8217;t crack a sweat until I left Target and walked to my car. Even IN Target, I usually sweat, because the air isn&#8217;t moving. I get that lovely clammy skin-chill combined with sweat pouring out my head. It&#8217;s damn sexy and if you see me coming, do us a both a favor and run the other way, because you will be unable to fight the desire to run up and touch me. mmm-hmmm. I&#8217;m like another sun, the gravitational pull is so great.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it&#8217;s going to be 98 today, 99 tomorrow &#038; Tuesday, up to 100 on Wednesday, and then a cool front comes through, dropping it back to 99 on Thursday. I&#8217;m going to be fighting off a LOT of fans this week. No pun intended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, it&#8217;s like, totally hot.
