What I need is a portable air conditioner... and a really big hat...

Why do I do this to myself? Why do I click on the seven day forecast on KVUE.com? Because, seriously, it's never good...




And then there's this...




*sigh*

Thankfully, next week we will be in lovely Rockport, where the seven day forecast looks like this...




Still hot, but we won't feel like our eyeballs are boiling inside our skulls! And I don't know if I'll have pictures this year, because both lenses for my camera are kaput. Don't ask. Still, I'm looking forward to our yearly trip to the beach! The water temperature is about 85 F (29 C), so it will feel like sitting in a warm bath at first, but the thing is, there's always a constant breeze so, when you start feeling uncomfortable, you just get out of the water and the wind cools you off until you start feeling chilled, whereupon you just... get back in the water.

It'll be nice to get away, too. We had considered going to Balmorhea State Park this year, mainly because there's going to be two meteor showers this week, and with the clear dark sky in West Texas, we thought it would be awesome. But... I don't know, with the heat and dry, there's just something in us that was jonesing for the beach, as the Husbandly One says.

I'm soooooo ready for this heat to go away now. For all of you who are sweating it out right now, especially in places where you aren't used to it, stay cool, stay hydrated, sit near a fan if you can, and ... be careful!

"Rain, rain, come and play
Come and play and stay all day..."
