Here in the South land it's scorching hot. It came on almost overnight a few days ago. Everywhere one goes one sees people dripping with sweat. It doesn't matter that it's supposedly a "dry" heat. It's miserable, especially if one doesn't have central air. I've been drinking so much iced tea, iced coffee, and water that I feel like I'm sloshing despite peeing every hour.
If you're in one of the overheated places - stay cool and stay hydrated.

I titled today's pic "Hot Overalls." Speaking of hot, it was 108 in my city today. I'm so ready for the heat to dissipate and for a nice arctic cold front to sweep in. Rain would be a refreshing change. It doesn't look as if there's any relief in sight, unfortunately.
Last night was the third of seven performances of Fiddler on the Roof that I blogged about earlier last week. Despite a pickup rehearsal, tonight's performance wasn't as polished as opening weekend, at least not in my opinion. Still we had an audience of over 200 so I can't complain much about that.
After the show, I met up with three ladies from the theater for drinks and munchies at a local restaurant chain. I had beer and sliders, which really hit the spot in my hungry tummy. There were four plus fries and string onions. Although I eat dinner before going to the theater, this show makes me hungry. It's probably psychological; I'm doing physical work and my body thinks it needs fuel.
When I got home - after midnight - technically this morning - I decided to do a load of laundry. We're all urged to use major appliances after 6pm so the power grid doesn't go kaput. I thought this was a good idea - I get a much needed task accomplished AND I do it at a time when most people are asleep and not using power. It also gives me a jump on my chores for the weekend. We have a Saturday performance and a Sunday matinee so my time is limited. Naps are definitely required during the run of a show.
I'm looking forward to October; I plan to take some time off work. I haven't completely decided what I'll be doing but I'm considering flying up to SF to visit the Bear. BTW....they had a nice 64-degree day today. Or yesterday, rather. Sounds like a really nice change.
I won't see my folks this weekend; today they're on a senior citizen trip and tomorrow my mom planned something with my sister. She knows I have the matinee and she figures I'll need the time to relax and finish chores. She figured right.
That's about all I have for now. As soon as the washer is done and I get the laundry in the dryer I'll be hitting the sheets.
I hope everyone is well, staying cool, and able to find some relaxation this weekend.
BEHR HUGS!
I'm making a list of things to do to cool off during this So Cal heatwave...showering with two hunky bears is at the top of the list.
But that might only lead to something even hotter than the heatwave.
What do you think?
