Sweat Ceiling

So when I moved to the mid-Atlantic almost a year ago I thought I would be greeted by snow in the winter and milder summers than what I’m use to in Texas. BOY WAS I WRONG!!  DC and the surrounding areas have broken records today.  This is how it right now…

Yes, the feels like is 117!!  In case you have never been in that heat, it’s like an oven.  No seriously, it feels exactly like when you open your oven to put in a tray of cookies and you get all that heat in your face.  Just like that.

I have no problem with the 100+ degrees.  Come one, happens all the time in San Antonio.  I worked outdoors for a summer.  I can deal with it.  But living in an oven not so much.

So now, my plans until the Sweat Ceiling is lowered will be to stay indoors with the A/C on the coldest setting ever and cuddle with Bailey on the couch.

Disclaimer: I did not come up with the term “Sweat Ceiling.”  I’m not that creative.  The Washington Post is calling this heat wave that.  You can imagine why…

I Hate You Humidity and Texas Heat!!

For as much as I love Texas, I really hate the weather. I am at the Botanical Gardens, before noon, and it’s already like 90 degrees with a high humidity. Oh and mind you, the so called “breeze” is just hot wind blowing by. Of course, being still sunburnt from my tubing adventure on Wednesday doesn’t help. Whenever the sun touches my legs, it burns a bit more.

And the bugs!! I feel that the insects, bugs, and mosquitos are out with a vengece this year due to the colder and longer winter we had. I swear, I can be outside for 15 minutes and be bit seven times. Needless to say, I look like a red itchy mosquito bite from head to toe.

The joys of summer in San Antonio.
