On my list of things to do: make sun tea.

Jul 28, 2009 08:27

It is unusually hot in my city this week (breaking 100 multiple days in a row, which may not have happened in the five years I've lived here), and while it's not out of the realm of the heat I grew up with, I'm still feeling it. This morning I made my customary cup of tea and then wilted from the additional heat of just sitting over it.

I've also been employing my "I live without air conditioning and it's still 80+ degrees when I'm going to bed" survival skills, namely:
1. Live in bedroom with at least two working windows (this is mandatory).
2. Set up a box fan on medium or high in each window.
3. Dunk some/all of body (preferably including head) in cold shower. Do not towel off.
4. Learn to love the white noise of sleeping in your homemade wind turbine.
