Such a weather baby.

I'm such a weather baby.  I hate hot weather.  Hate. Hot. Weather.  And I'm not even the fickle type to say, "oh, I can't wait for summer . . . . " and as soon as summer is here, say, "oh, it's too hot."  Nope.  I just hate hot weather.  My internal max is mid-70's.  If it's 80 degrees and sunny, no breeze, I'm borderline miserable, sticky, frumpy and exhausted.  I like 72 with a slight breeze.  And a rainshower in the late afternoon or evening.

So, when I was doing the morning commute getting Big to sports camp and the radio started squawking about it "being a scorcher", I changed the station.  The other station was blabbering about record highs.  It was 57 degrees (that's about perfect for me) and 8:01 am.  Nowhere to go but up, up, up.  

Today was hot.  Ugh.  Exhaustingly hot.  How does my brother LIVE in Phoenix??  I would die a long, slow, sweaty, painful, bitchy death.   I'm so relieved to see the forecast.  Partly cloudy and 5 degrees cooler tomorrow, afternoon thunderstorms on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, with temps between 73 and 75.  As my son, the Percy Jackson fan says, "Praise the Gods."

I'm exactly like you on this one! It got up to 102 yesterday. I only left the house to prune my roses...haha.

Mid 70's is where I max out too.

If I'm at a pool or the beach, it can be warmer. But I've never at a pool or beach.
