beating the overheating

As I sit here in my 90º apartment, which has cooled off at least 10º in since I arrived home about 45 minutes ago, I think back to the folly of the activities of this past weekend all which stem around the attempt to cool off. I had a similar experience last year.

The highlight this year came on Sunday night when after I'd been asleep for 2 hours I woke up and decided that the hot air blowing on me just wasn't cutting it. The only cool spot? Sitting in front of the fan that was in the open doorway to my apartment. I camped out there for the next few hours and it worked, to a point. Once daylight came it was all downhill as I get great (read hot) morning sun on that side of my apartment. Frankie was even more miserable, he's wearing a fur coat for heavens sake. I decided that wiping him down with a wet washcloth would ease his pain....then I thought "wait a minute! that'll work for me too!!!" Hence, the rest of the day was spent with Kimmy at The Compound™ whereby she had the same wet towel discovery as I had earlier, but hers were frozen! Yes, sitting in front of the fan with frozen towels draped on my legs. It was pure, cool bliss.
