Reset Forty-One, Day Thirty-One

Friday was one of the two peak days of the current heat wave, the second being today, Saturday. 105 degrees both days. I didn't even bother to eat dinner Friday, but snacked on ice cream, and then about an hour ago I microwaved a ramen bowl. Drank a hell of a lot of water though. Now I've got the fan on and some windows open, but they aren't likely to do much good as it is only going down to 69 degrees outside tonight.

I'll probably have to do what I've done for the last two nights and run the air conditioner for half an hour or so before going to sleep, which should get the place down to 72 temporarily. I think I'm tired enough that I'll get to sleep before it starts heating back up too much. The heat is bound to wake me up too early again, though, so I'm expecting another unpleasant day. The saddest thing is that I'm really looking forward to a week from Sunday, when the forecast says it will only get up to 90. It's the lowest high in the ten day forecast. That makes me want to cry, but I can't afford to use up that much water.

Too bad California can't actually fall off into the ocean. It would probably be cooler there.
