I ran again and will run again

Actually, I ran a couple of short runs last week or the week before.  The overnight lows dropped to 24-25 C, and I couldn't waste that, even though the originally projected longer bout of cooler weather eventually withered to practically nothing.  I needed to cling to something.

Otherwise, it's been straight 37-38 C/26 C and I've been miserable.  26 C in the morning is still too hot for me, unless it's dry, which it isn't here. Heck, I've barely been walking even though I carry baby wipes and extra underwear, and I can use my umbrella as a parasol (and I sometimes do because I get headaches from the heat and sun...(I need to find a straw hat because anything else on my head also gives me a headache))...and not exercising in turn jacks up my sleep plus the heat makes my limbs ache so I've become overly reliant on Tylenol PM which, even though I take half the recommended dose, makes me drowsy after a while because use isn't supposed to exceed two weeks and who knows how far beyond I am that, I've failed to keep count or to give myself breaks, and my latest exam score though not an outright failure is a testament to that and perhaps it's even low enough to merit academic counseling, which isn't too bad usually because it's here to help us and it's very supportive, yeah, I've been a couple of times because whenever our marks veer too close to, or into, the danger zone, we get a friendly email, and yes, this sentence reflects my summer, a massive convoluted frustrating and endless day or week or month or however long it is that I become embalmed in the zone between full wakefulness and full sleep like one of those hapless and useless grubs entombed in fiery golden liqueur.

Summer is my least favourite season, even back home in Canada. A few scattered days in the mid-thirties is bad enough, but 4 months of mid-thirties to mid-forties, with lows still mostly too high to run in, has been

whatever, fill in the blank and move on

because I am moving on, I think, finally!  DISCLAIMER: it's an excerpt. I'd rather not be a tease, but I've had this earworm since I heard this song on ah/fm several days ago.  The full track was like, whoa.

SOOO the high temps hit suddenly and hard around May 1, and in a lovely parallel, a storm is now passing through, followed by at least ten days of 29-32 C. Fingers crossed that there's indeed a summer weather switch somewhere and it's going to stay clicked off (ignoring that 29-32 C is still summer weather...can't be too greedy).

So the plan is to run this morning!

Also my parking pass expired at the end of August, so I'm going to have to get off my butt at any rate!
