Summertime thoughts

[momcat]

I'm definitely not a fan of summer. As I'm getting older I like the cold weather more and more. AC for us is a necessity. When it gets really hot, especially with these heatwaves, my blood sugar tends to go ballistic. When I talked to my doctor about it, she said that's not unusual for diabetics. According to local weather reports another heatwave is expected to hit tomorrow and last through the week. Ugh!

Karen, here's a definition of humidity I heard some time ago: humidity is when everything that's supposed to come apart sticks together and everything that's supposed to stick together comes apart.

That's a good one, Eileen. I never heard that one before, but it sure is true.

Take care this week - we're going to bake again all week, and if we get any more rain to go with it, it will be a steam bath. I'm sick of this and can't wait till Fall and some crisp, clear weather. And hopefully, I'll be in NC by then, too.

Maybe we should all buy a chillow for the next heat wave. Here's the link:http://www.asseenontv.com/chillow-pi...l.php?p=448277.

I wonder if they really work? I had thought about getting one, but most products you get from t.v. ads, don't work as they say. I suppose I should check out the reviews. I haven't found any pillow that doesn't make my head sweat (regardless of the weather), and I have to wrap a heavy bath towel around mine (the pillow-not my head ) - otherwise I wake up with a wet head!

Pom- I laughed at you with your head wrapped up in a towel! Even feather pillows make your head sweat?

Yes indeed - foam or polyfill or down - I've tried them all. Right now I have a down and that is the least offensive of all I have ever had. I still have to wrap it ( THE PILLOW ) in a heavy towel tho.........

Yet another day of this heatwave - I think this is the hottest summer I can remember - usually a heat wave here will only last a few days! Everyone staying cool?

My favorite sorta "side effect" - when one of us leaves a nearly full bottle of water in the car and forgets it - I bring it in and throw two peach tea bags in a glass and pour the heated water over and throw it in the fridge! Yummy, and cool - and I didn't have to heat up the kitchen by boiling water!
