then you are probably roasting in your skin. i’ve heard values all over the map for various locals of how hot it was, but i’m reasonably sure we did get over 100 degrees today all over the Puget Sound.

all-consuming heat, it’s the only thing that can be thought about. i’m not suited for this type of weather, in the consistent manner it’s occurring. strangely, this has been messing with my head. things like lack of sleep, slight dehydration, and general fatigue let the mind run wild. me, myself, i feel like i’ve seen everyone getting a little on edge lately. but when i think back, i wonder if it was just me, feeling off-kilter and assuming that everyone is out to get me, in all this ridiculous heat. that makes me laugh a little, having time to reflect on a moment in my life, where i may have let my emotions run free, due to some applied stress. what can i say?

i literally went on a run at 5:30PM today around the business park i work at. it was probably damn near 100 in the shade, with it definitely that high in the sun. i pointed this out to the people i am running with now, but i feel i have to throw it into my journal here for the future. today, was the hottest day in Seattle history (so far!) and i went running on it. a credit to still being somewhat young.

so here i am, subjecting my body to stupid physical extremes, with my mind someway compensating in sympathy.

needless to say, terrible sleep is very prone to dream making, since you can’t hit that REM sleep that cycles every 40 minutes or so. you’re bound to wake up in the middle of some deep sleep pattern due to general heat discomfort in the night.

speaking of discomfort, i am suddenly not in the mood to write. a salute to the in-general-wrong vibe that has been bugging me all week. but hey, maybe i’ll come back! it’s very up and down around here lately. but definitely fun, nonetheless
