Today is the 14th day in a row that the temperature here in the **Valley of the Sun** has crept into triple digits. And it’s only May 19th—which means that we can expect the triple digit temperatures to last another 6 months!
I am sure you are tired of hearing me complain about the heat. I’m tired of hearing myself complain about the heat. But with each passing day I find it more and more difficult to get cool. Air conditioning and cold showers seem to help little.
My wedding ring no longer fits because my hands are so swollen. I had to buy a new pair of shoes on my lunch hour because my feet were so swollen it felt like they were going to explode. My hair is in a perpetual ponytail. I have to apply deodorant several times a day. Nearly all of my maternity shirts have sweat stains on them. I even have to change my underwear at least once a day because I sweat *that* much.
I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom and the sheets where I’ve been laying feel like they were just taken out of the dryer or had just been ironed. I’m like a furnace; heat just radiates from me.
I am jealous of polar bears. I am jealous of Eskimos. I am jealous of penguins. I am jealous of hockey players. I am jealous of ice sculptors.
Once I have Cayden I am not planning on leaving the house unless it’s to catch a direct flight to the north pole.
