Hot Hot Heat

The weather, not the band.
Heat wave going through Chicago/midwest. We're under an "excessive heat warning". If I didn't know life without air conditioning, I would pooh-pooh it as a lame, made up weather forecast, but I can see the dangers. My dad was nice enough to buy me a small window unit which has been on max the past couple of days and nights without a break. Today, even with it on max and several fans going through my room I was just able to keep the temperature liveable. Not so in the other rooms in my apartment. I emerged only to fetch popsicles from my freezer. My poor fish must be boiling alive; it's hotter in my apt. than outside and outside it was upper 90s. Tomorrow the heat index is 105. Poor fish.
The weather makes me long for a beach trip. Not to the beach here. I mean a real, ocean beach. Swimming in the cold ocean. mmmmmmmm. Maybe I'll go swimming tomorrow afternoon. Not for fun, but for exercise since running is out of the question.
Although the sun set a couple hours ago, my room is just now getting to a temperature that could be considered cool. Cool as in I can be under a sheet comfortably.
I'm so lucky to have a/c.
I need an apartment though. And a job.
The heat has sucked all the life out of me. I didn't do anything today yet I'm exhausted. Maybe that'll be good. Go to bed early, wake up early.
