Such a Northerner

Days like today make me realize that HOME is in WASHINGTON.

There were THREE air quality warnings this morning. I went running anyway. I thought I was going to die. (Not really mom, I promise it wasn't that bad).

But I took two showers today... really I needed a third. DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN SWEAT FROM YOUR FACE EVEN WHEN YOU AREN'T DOING ANYTHING?!?! I was on my way to Charles' at 8:15am and my face was sweating. ew.

Tomorrow's Warnings:

A HEAT ADVISORY MEANS THAT A PERIOD OF HOT TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED. THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY WILL COMBINE TO CREATE A SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE POSSIBLE. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS... STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM... STAY OUT OF THE SUNSHINE... AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.

&

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED OVER THE REGION... WHICH WILL HELP PUSH AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO 100 ON THURSDAY. THE COMBINATION OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL RESULT IN HEAT INDEX VALUES AS HIGH AS AROUND 105 TO 107 DEGREES OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH THURSDAY.

.... You know its gonna be bad when the humidity at 11:05 pm the night before is still at 74%. EW.

I officially <3 air conditioning. However, I can't imagine having to spend all summer cooped up in an AC-ed house. REALLY!? No wonder no one hikes. Or Canoes. Etc. It's too durn hot!
