104, but thankfully that’s not my fever

it was so hot here in portland this weekend.  104 degrees yesterday.  something a little less today, but with nasty humidity.  If feels like a rainforest.

i keep having to lie down with an icepack on my chest.  a big icepack.  it takes the edge off for a bit, but then i’m hot and sweating again.   my mouth is all parched and cottonmouthey.  no matter how much water i drink.

and this is *with* air conditioning.  i can’t even imagine what this would be like in nyc with my wall AC.  wow.
