This is my brain on summer...

My husband and I are seriously considering making a move way up north one of these years, as neither one of us can take the heat. My husband has this excessive sweating thing -- can't remember the medical name of it. Anyway, he sweats profusely. Hyperhydrosis, he says. Thanks, honey. Anyway, I don't have that problem. I just get sick and weak almost any hot day in the summer that I have to leave my meat locker and venture forth into the hot, cruel world. I have never been able to take the Arkansas summers, even when I moved here as a teenager. I get dehydrated and get heat exhaustion so easily.

Anyway, I had to take my daughter to the doctor today. She has had hives for a few days -- a completely new development. Anyway, I'll brag on myself a little -- I diagnosed it correctly. So anyway, I took Charity to get something to eat at Subway after I picked up her prescription, and I must have cooked my brain in the heat. First I couldn't find my check card, so I had to write a check. I stood there trying to write a check, and I couldn't remember the name of the restaurant, the day of the month, or even the month! Then I had to look at the amount 3 times. At least I remembered my name.

But I seriously don't know how many more years we can stand it here. Of course, Scott and I are both under 40 -- not old folks yet. But someday we may end up being the only old folks that migrate to a colder climate. Or I guess to be loyal to Arkansas that we love, we may have to get an RV and spend the summers up north and the rest of the year here.
