Well usually our summers are at least manageable... 25-35ish (77-95 F) but this is just getting insane! I have never been in weather this hot before. I feel so bad for my dog stuck in our sauna of a house!
For the past couple of weekends I've cooled off thanks to a sprinkler I bought for the backyard. My roommate and I have been going out there and acting like little kids again lol... We're thinking of maybe getting a little kiddie pool also so we can sit in it and read!
I think tonight I'm gonna take your advice and shower BEFORE bed. I'm the morning showerer of our house but I feel so gross going to bed all sweaty!
It's a pretty big misconception that it doesn't get very hot up here... Our winters tend to be pretty long with snow on the ground for about 6 months. During summer, closer to the coasts it's a lot cooler but I'm smack dab in the middle of the prairies and it gets pretty hot! Actually a couple of years ago I was up in the Yukon and Alaska and it was around 35 degrees C the whole time I was there!
