Heat exhaustion sucks.

I live in the desert. I know better, but I gave myself heat exhaustion today. I got up and got started on stuff around the house, laundry, cleaning, etc. Then I did some touch up painting outside. As I was coming back in more of the texture fell off the ceiling in the garage. So I decided I was annoyed enough to rip down the loose stuff so I can fix it later.

Yeah dumb idea. It was 112 today. By the time I finished up and went inside to get a drink I was so over heated I puked up the drink and then dry heaved for a while since I forgot to eat this morning.

Thankfully I cooled off in the shower and was able to still pull off a nice father's day dinner. I ate fine at dinner, but it didn't make up for not eating all day until then, but I have no appetite and I still feel slightly cooked.

Thank goodness for air conditioning and cool showers. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Ugh, I know the feeling. I worked at an event on Saturday for eight hours outside. We had a tent so we were in the shade, but it was so effing hot. It was 90 degrees, but with the humidity I'm sure the heat index was around 100. I drank water and lemonade nonstop, only peed once, felt nauseated, and had a headache for the last several hours. By the time I got home, the only thing I had the energy to do was peel off my clothes and lay on the couch for the rest of the night. It was fun though and I made pretty good tips. Stupid heat.
