I am functional in our little warm up here in the bay area but I don’t feel good. I am at a job in the mission district in SF and there is AC and no ice for the water. I have to walk 8 blks from bart to the loft to work and back again. I brought an umbrella because shade is lacking on the walk.

I do know I am having a hard time with my own smell. I sweat during and after the walk. I sweat when I sleep (this has been going on for months so it isn’t heat related). It is bad enough that when I wake up in the middle of the night, I have to switch sides of the bed because where I am laying is now damp. I leave the covers pulled back in the morning so it can dry out so I can sleep the next night. With the heat, I can be sitting at home doing nothing and sweating. Taking a shower is still a major deal (from the depression or the recovering from surgery, I don’t know) so it is an every other day thing and that isn’t helping. So I am generating smell that I am very unused to and the heat is making it more potent.

But I am functional. I am working and earning money. I don’t know if I am hosed (dead/exhausted/tired) because it is too hot or if because I have finally slowed down from the convention madness and hit a wall. I am capable of short spurts of energy and productivity but lacking in motivation and ability to maintain the energy level.

Can I have my cold SF Summer back now?
Sad thing is that this isn’t even the hottest it is going to get around here.
