oi guys i took a run and then a shower and after the shower i couldn't cool down. isn't that the worst when shower dampness turns to sweat and you wonder what good the shower even was?
i took a spin around the island in the dinghy. that helped for a minute. the east side of the island, out in the channel, there's a cooler breeze there. but now back in the house, yaaaaaaaaaaaaa. i can't figure out the AC (hate AC so whatever) but still it's 85.1f outside and 85.6f inside. don't get me wrong i love it but shit i still can't cool down.

alcohol rubdown - it drives the water off and evaporates fast to cool you down

don't use the drinkable kind!
(unless it is cheap vodka maybe)
(also avoid all tender bits of your person)

this happened to me last night after the gym. i was like hmmm i could have sworn that cold shower was meant to wash off all the sweat so why is it still here?!
94º right now. ugh! i am glad i have ceilng fans but there is really no cross breeze in this joint at all :(
― te,he (tehresa), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 23:16 (fourteen years ago) link
i need to find a good swimming hole!
― te,he (tehresa), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 23:18 (fourteen years ago) link
We have to make our own cross breeze in our place too - I have 9 fans going, pretty much 24/7. probably won't put a dent in 94º though.
There's a community pool up the hill from you, t! (Or head to Golden Gardens and jump in the sound)
― jaq, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 23:21 (fourteen years ago) link
go jump in elliott bay. that'll cool you down ha xpost

our whole summer is like that, day after day for months, i have to use a/c or i would never sleep at all between nov-april. i spent my childhood winters sleeping in unheated rooms in nz and my body won't adjust to heat and humidity, as soon as i fall asleep my temperature shoots up a few degrees and without a/c i feel as if i'm dying.

there is a tiny pool at my gym but i think something outdoorsy would be good. i feel guilty if i go swimming when i should be job hunting.
― te,he (tehresa), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 23:26 (fourteen years ago) link
don't be guilty, the earth is circling the sun at about 67,000 miles per hour, it doesn't matter if you go for a swim.
― estela, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 23:30 (fourteen years ago) link
Pool Temperature: 85 degrees
^^^queen anne pool
my days as a competitive swimmer make me freak out when i see things like this bc that is just too warm to properly swim in!that's another thing - used to have crazy pool workouts and then you'd stop and realize you were sweating IN the water!!!
― te,he (tehresa), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 23:30 (fourteen years ago) link
that used to happen to me when i had swimming as my gym class. reallyweird feeling.

today i imagined myself inside of a protective bubble, which turned into me being in a souvenir snow globe of montreal. but it kind of broke down when i inadvertanly became confused about how i could possibly walk my s now globe down tje street. will try again tomorrow.
― lxy, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 01:50 (fourteen years ago) link
were your limbs inside or outside of the snow globe, i am trying to get a sense of your gait.
― estela, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 02:11 (fourteen years ago) link
the little snow globe who couldn't.
― estela, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 02:12 (fourteen years ago) link
lol, srsly.
fully inside. it doesn't really make sense, because at first it was a bubble just a bit bigger than me. once it evolved into a snow globe i couldn't quite recapture the scene.
― lxy, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 02:21 (fourteen years ago) link
"that girl doesn't have a bubble butt...she's got a snow globe butt!"

hey!
― lxy, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 02:27 (fourteen years ago) link
thank u jergins!! we live kind of close to the bart - our house is about 1.2mi away, and then one of my works is right next to a bart station, and my other work is is about 10mins walk away, so i'm pretty lucky. and i usually ride to the station.
― smoove operator, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 02:40 (fourteen years ago) link
thanks also to jaq for the info. didn't know BART's a 3rd rail line
couple more thoughts on our line: they GOT TO rezone around sodo station. such an awesome spot give over to parking lots and the USPS. that neighborhood's got possibilities.
if i had lots of money i would buy property around rainier beach. such a no-brainer that it's gonna GROW

have you guys ever heard the one that goes "it's never gotten to 100 f at sea-tac"? i don't think it's true and maybe esp not after today
― jergins, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 21:45 (fourteen years ago) link

― jergins, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 22:31 (fourteen years ago) link
it's been pretty reasonable here all summer! very humid though
― spite n ease (harbl), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 23:14 (fourteen years ago) link
omg 108 omg. our pdx friends bought an air conditioner in reaction to yesterday's 103 and in anticipation of today's predicted 106.
― lxy, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 23:44 (fourteen years ago) link
my pop just sent this email to my siblings and me:
weather
5pm, and all is well (done); 103 degrees official high so far today; anall-time high for Western WA.

people, it is 97 degrees inside the kitchen cupboard where i keep the thermometer.
i've taken it out and will report back when it adjusts to living room and porch temperature.
― lxy, Thursday, 30 July 2009 01:13 (fourteen years ago) link
has it been cooling off at night, also is it unhumid? because those are crucial bearability factors i think.
― estela, Thursday, 30 July 2009 01:24 (fourteen years ago) link
I am on a bus trying to snowglobe myself but it is not working and also we are not moving.
― te,he (tehresa), Thursday, 30 July 2009 01:26 (fourteen years ago) link
very very unhumid este la
― jergins, Thursday, 30 July 2009 01:30 (fourteen years ago) link
i hope you are not parched dear jergins:(
― estela, Thursday, 30 July 2009 01:32 (fourteen years ago) link
porch: was 94.3, now 92.3house: was 92.5, now 90.0
so yes, i guess it does cool off
― lxy, Thursday, 30 July 2009 01:40 (fourteen years ago) link
temp's going back up again, i didn't think thermometers were susceptible to breezes?
― lxy, Thursday, 30 July 2009 01:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I think it gets to 70s at night but for some reason my house stays hotter.
― te,he (tehresa), Thursday, 30 July 2009 01:45 (fourteen years ago) link
8 pm, holding steady at 94.3, 91.2
― lxy, Thursday, 30 July 2009 03:01 (fourteen years ago) link
i feel cranky just thinking about it.
― estela, Thursday, 30 July 2009 03:05 (fourteen years ago) link
thank you for your support, estela. not a very good day to convince sandboxers to move here, huh?
― lxy, Thursday, 30 July 2009 03:18 (fourteen years ago) link
it's a better day for working on f. than an it's raining day is.
― estela, Thursday, 30 July 2009 04:43 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm afraid false pretenses would be involved, then.
mid-80s inside and out.
the basement is quite cool, though. trying to figure out if i could sleep down there.
― lxy, Thursday, 30 July 2009 04:54 (fourteen years ago) link
you should come and sleep at my house.
