"Well, I have some bad news and good news. The bad news is that today it is going to be 98 degrees. The good news is that today is going to be the coolest day of the week. The rest of the week will be hotter and more humid." -Lee

Not only did I have to get up earlier than all my other roommates this morning, who are NOT working today (I think they are still sleeping. I just called them at the house and no one is picking up.), but I am greeted with this wonderful news during the morning meeting at 8AM. Ugh...

Last week was a breeze. It was a two day work week for me, thanks to visiting friends and the national Independence Day. This week I am facing a full work week in sweltering heat. Just an hour drive away it is 23 degrees cooler at Huntington Beach today. I am so tempted to take the whole week off and just live at the beach. I was thinking of joining my friends Susan, from NJ, and Celeste, from Chicago, in Vegas this weekend but it'll be even hotter there! My mind feels scorched just thinking about it.

Thankfully, my Chicago weathering experience keeps me from ever noticing the humidity here. Pasadena humitidy is nothing in comparison to Chicago humidity. You just don't feel the showering mist here.

Oh, but I will survive. Yes, with help from a few extra iced grande caramel macchiatos and the office AC, I will survive this fervid weather.

I am however highly doubtful of my productivity this week.
