Hot hot hot!!

Damn. This weather is insane. I visited Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago for a coding seminar and I believe I had a stow-away. THIS WEATHER.

I am hypersensitive to temperature. I can admit it. Being my age and so close to that dreaded menopause....(damn damn damn) I am sure that much of this is hormonally driven in my case.

Anyway...I think about my little man Kai. How he is not hypersensitive to heat. He doesn't let anything phase him. Yet, this kid is not allowed to sweat. No- not that he "can't sweat". But more of he should be kept cool and sweat free so he doesn't lose the salt in his body. That damned cystic fibrosis is the problem there.

What about that anyway? When there is an energy crisis going down in your part of town...what do you do to stay cool? Where does one go to avoid overheating and melting into oblivion?

I have had to think about back up plans...you know the what if the power goes out and Kai needs coolness.

Well, I think first of a store or mall. Groceries anyone? Macy's? Then maybe a school or library...and perhaps a last ditch resort would be a hospital.

We do have a prescription for air conditioning for Kai to be kept cool. SDG&E doesn't give us a discount but we avoid the highest tier for energy usage...all to stay cool.

I am glad I work in a hospital. I am glad I don't have to worry about losing salt...but darn the little things that just get me thinking...

I hope you all out there stay cool and find some shade.

I am sticking with Kai...since he HAS to stay cool...mom can too!
