So, the heat has waved up and down the east coast and has put our air-conditioning to work here in DC. Actually, I noticed that the sun seemed to be splitting through my skull and cooking my brain as I walked just to the car and back.
I mentioned how hot it was to a coworker and learned that were actually in the middle of a full-blown heat wave. Prior to that revelation, I was honestly thinking I was going to have to move away, to somewhere much cooler.
Days later, my neurologist mentioned that I should stay out of the heat and that it seemed to aggravate the symptoms of MS. I kind of wished he'd mentioned it before the week-long stretch of 100+degree weather, but I made note nonetheless.
I find myself trying to take great advantage of any moderate to mild weather so that I can stay active and have fun, yet still avoid the searing heat of the worst days so far.
This week I was at a funeral in Long Island and found that despite fairly neutral temperatures, I was greatly appreciative of the light breezes that happened by.
Maybe I could start wearing big, broad hats like ladies at the Kentucky Derby. It might be only the second good excuse for such fashion!

Perhaps I could interest you in an Urban Sombrero?
