"is it hot enough for ya?"

in our region, it is expected we are to get up to about 98 degrees F, which means where i will be (the kitchen at work), it will be much, much hotter. i will get two questions today: "is it hot enough for ya?" and "are you okay? you look like you are going to pass out!"

in fact, i will keep a count of both. i tend to get red in the face when i overheat (which is why i don't like to work out, tyvm, because people fear for my life and feel i am going to drop of a heart attack or other such malady) and don't do well when i have any attention drawn to me for that reason.

on a positive note: yesterday, in an act of exceeding bravery because i have my new eyeglasses securely in hand, i put my contact lenses in without issue. even took them out in less than 15 minutes' time -- i figured i had the pressure off so what they hey, give it a try :) who knew? at least i won't have my glasses sliding down my nose every five minutes today while i am in the sauce at work, so that's a plus.

if you could, join with me in praying for those who work in the heat of the day across the board. it can be brutal, unless you are sitting in an air-conditioned atmosphere sipping sweet tea while you are reading this....
