A few moments out of doors and my palms were sweaty and sticky, with a filmy icky sheen of wetness. To put it mildly — it’s gross outside. My kids are going to school today just for the morning. I will likely do the same tomorrow too. Far too hot to be trapped inside a 100 year old three story building with no AC, and not enough fans, or working windows. A hot steamy, moisture laden breeze will not do anything for my youngest stuck up in the peak of the school along with all of that trapped heat.
I sent both kids with thermoses stuffed with ice water, along with a frozen water bottle to run over their palms, wrists, arm pits, neck, face, and lap regions to try and mitigate the effects from such high temperatures, and intense humidity. I do not know how well they will be able to concentrate when so unbearably hot. I do not envy them.
I will free them at noon, and I will immediately take them over to Grandma’s house for a swim. Let them float around in the pool for a spell to regulate their tiny little bodies. It’s the least I can do for them.
Only a few days left of the school term, so they aren’t going to miss any real lessons. Perhaps a movie or a couple of games, but nothing truly detrimental to do without. Let us pray this heat wave goes away sooner rather than later. Ciao Bella!
