averygoodun42So, I think I mentioned at some point this week (every day?) that it was hot? Yeah, well, it was hot. Very, very hot. So hot that when I walked the four blocks to pick Babe up from school, and then the four blocks back - under a black umbrella with a cool water bottle in the other hand - I nearly collapsed from heat prostration. I came home, drank 16 oz of water followed by a small snack of cheese followed by mango juice and more water, and then managed to resuscitate myself under a cold shower.
At that point I felt good enough (not dizzy or nauseous anymore) to go swimming with Babe as I had promised.
And, gotta say, the swimming was a lot of fun. I didn't do much actual swimming (one lap, and some treading water), so it's not like I had gone round the bend or anything, but I did exert myself. Too much. Seems heat prostration and swimming was a bit much for my poor,stupid fragile body.
Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn. Have I mentioned how much it sucks not having normal limits? Only a million times? That's showing impressive restraint, that is! /snark
So anyway, I have an exercise hangover today. Even though I went to bed at 8 and got at least ten hours of sleep. Even though I had a nap before dinner. Even though I was good about staying hydrated. Fortunately, it seems to be mainly fatigue, no moderate inflammation. It's easy to deal with fatigue: lie down and rest!
Hopefully I'll feel better tonight. After all, we're having H. Earl over, and I don't want to be rude. Not that I think he'll be much company, mind, by the time he gets up here. Just a little bluster with lots of soppiness.
Just as well.
I think I'll dig out some (good) Disney movies to watch with Babe and count that as my parenting for the day.
Yeah. I know.
