Quite a miserable week at work. It's been hot; the air conditioner is woefully inadequate since its freon leaked and was switched for the non-CFC refrigerant now required, and the addition of a mini-fridge at the clerk end of the store hasn't helped; and I arrived on Wednesday night after my weekend to discover 8 boxes of newly delivered merchandise blocking customer access to a whole section of the store, so of course I set about labelling up the stuff and putting it out for sale ... and I wound up continuing with that task (and relabelling stuff done wrong by co-workers, gahh) for 4 of the five nights, doing at least 5 of the boxes, and not getting any breaks till the last night of my week, Sunday. So I have been sweating like a pig all night. And having some trouble sleeping in the heat after all that overheating. For added fun times, the housemate was away almost all weekend. The dogs and I managed, but that meant two short walkies each day in the heat. (I kept them short for the dogs' sakes.) And I'm sneezing from some allergy or other. And I had a dental appointment on the Saturday. Ugh. I intend to have a selfish and non-productive weekend. If necessary I will hose off the dishes in the backyard and have nothing but icecream for dinner. (Except that we have yet to do the week's grocery run. Arghhh.)

I'm in Sac, ATM. Flew out to help a friend who broke her ankle badly, then got diagnosed with MS (so...combination damping rod for MS-news panic, and fetch-it for broken ankle.) The house I'm guesting at is a rental, and the rather tight landlady replaced the dead aircon unit with one too small to cool the house during the recent heat wave.
Now, I'm definitely cold-weather people. Shirtsleeves in twenty-above weather and all that. Naturally, as soon as the temperature tops eighty, I start to wilt and soak myself in sweat.
So...yeah. I understand, believe me. Sympathies for the heat stress. Luckily, it's supposed to be cooler, these next few days, until we fly down to San Diego for a couple, then back to Detroit.
