Oh Holy Crap! Yesterday, the thermostat in my office hit 96 before they sent us home (at 3:30pm). It is already at 86 right now. This is, I'm pretty sure, illegal like WHOA. I just want to cry.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

{{{Nora}}} That's crazy.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Nora, that's crazy!
Stephanie, I feels your pain. I have no milk. But I am running down to the corner market and, if they aren't open yet, the gas station for some. So only some of your pain. Poor people who get to see me unwashed and rumpled, but I needs coffee so I needs milk.
Meds have been ingested. If I can get through today with just some ability to breathe and something less than the sinus/migraine/ohgodwannadie headache, I am calling it a win. Or a draw. Just don't want to lose basically.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Egad, Nora. That's insane.

Cass, have you tried warm/hot compresses across your face (forehead, eyes, nose)? or standing in a hot shower and letting the water run over your face? I've found it helps with sinus headaches ... and sometimes it clears out your sinuses for a little while.

Mostly lurking...
Oh, Nora. That is just ick. I'd be going insane.
My mom actually suggested Sunday that I put my air conditioners in. I'm trying to hold out, but I have SUCH an intolerance to heat, because of one of my meds. It makes me insane. I just think my landlord (who pays my electric bill) is gonna be cranky if I put the air conditioners in in April. Plus, it's supposed to get cooler again tomorrow, I think.

Poor Nora. I know that OSHA doesn't have any specific regs about inside office temperatures, just recommendations. MA might have something. My old library had no air conditioning, so I sympathize with the brain boiling temps and the "they can't make me work like this" thoughts.
I forgot my coffee mug today and the communal mugs aren't big enough. I've already gone for one refill this morning.

The unofficial news is that it looks like I'll be hitting the Chantilly, VA area the week of June 4-8th. It won't become official until mid-May, I'm guessing...but still, we are making progress.
I am in the office today. I so totally would rather be working from home.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'd rather be in the office. Any office. Even a boiling one.
Owen threw up Sunday night but was fine yesterday. He's barfed three times since he got up.
DH has agreed that we'll wait as long as we can to turn on the A/C but it will depend on how soon his seasonal allergies appear. We've had really nice temps (high 60s, low 70s) but it's supposed to rain most of the week.

Trust my rage
Poor Owen and poor, poor, poor Cash. I hope Owen feels better soon. Sort of unusual that he would be sick, fine, and then sick again.
