Aug. 20th, 2003 01:17 pmIt's hot. Not as hot as the past few days (yet), but hot. And humid. Extremely humid. Highs in the 90's since last week, with heat indices of well over 100. The kind of heat where just turning the page of a book you're reading makes you break out in a sweat. The humid heat isn't good for my ability to breathe, so I've been wheezing a lot. Thank heavens for the wall AC in the apartment!
Interesting how tidily it coincides with my deciding 1 1/2 weeks ago to not deal with the AC in the car until next spring...
There's also been a lack of rain- none for weeks, until last night. Even then it wasn't a lot, but every little bit helps. Spectacular lightning and thunder, though, and judging by the sagging tree branches it must have really been coming down at some point.
( garden stuff )
Been swimming a lot lately, eight days in the past two weeks. Lots and lots of laps. Last night I'd planned to swim, but it got a bit late and I didn't want to be swimming without anyone around so I went downstairs and got on the exercise bike instead. The swimming's been doing something for me- I took just over a minute off my time for 15 miles!
Checked measurements last night, too, since it had been about a month. Overall total is down another 1.75 inches. Nothing you can really see just looking at me, but that makes for a loss of 4.5 inches in the past 2+ months. Some areas aren't really changing at all, but others are definitely improving. Finally, SOME sign of progress after all those years of, er, un-progress!
