Can't get moving !

QVCkitty1 — Fri, 06 Jul 2018 14:00:19 GMT

I'm so slow day, I think the prolonged heat wave has sucked the life out of me. I have a salon appt. and it is taking me forever to get moving. However, my hair looks so bad, it will propel me out the door. LOL.

You’re not alone. I have days like that too.

@QVCkitty1

I understand perfectly.

Had my hair appointment on July 3, so that's out of the way.

However, I have lots of things to do and just cannot get myself to do them.

I'm normally very energetic, so I'm chalking it up to the hot weather

Maybe we are all 'baked'?

Cooled off here in Chicago with much lower dew points so I'm feeling more energetic. Have a house guest coming on Tuesday so motivated to do some cleaning before the next heat wave.

And steamed! The humidity is so bad the air conditioner is having a hard time keeping up with it.

Whew, I'm glad to know that I'm not alone. I sit and think about all the stuff I need to get done and then I get too tired to do it.

I feel the same way, the heat makes me tired ..I am up at 5 a.m. everyday, so I get done all the things I need to do before it gets too hot....almost 100 here this weekend

SW MI, I can open the windows today. Fresh air. No humidity!!!! Great breeze. This must be a "reward" day for putting up with the other days. LOL

That was ME yesterday - didn't want to leave my A/C cave and go out in the 90 +.....sidewalks 100 degrees for a hair appointment. Once you get there and get pretty you'll be so glad you made the trip!

I forced myself to go to the Y this morning. All my workout buddies, those who showed up, agreed that we were wiped out by the heat wave. I actually avoided the outdoors most of the week. There’s a reason I live in upstate NY, where hot days are rare...or at least they used to be rare.

I am having a "bad" hair day but i put on a turban. A turban for me is a scarf wrapped around my head and I love it as a break. I wish I could attach a picture to show you but if you visit a webstite called wrapunzel dot com.... you will see what I'm talking about.

This is a style that a lot of women where when required by their religion. I wear a turban for easy bad hair days.

my hair goes up in a messy bun all summer - I don't even get it cut until Sept

The heat drains all the energy out of me. I’ve been walking early in the morning and avoiding going outside the rest of the day. The heat index has been around 107 all week. Thunderstorms are supposed to come through this afternoon and cool things off. Looking forward to that. Stay cool everyone.

Its a good thing you ladies don't live in the Southwest or Gulf Coast states. How would you like to have 95°+ heat without any relief from April through October?

@fourpaws56 I agree. Mid-90’s in NC w/ high humidity and many days afternoon/evening thunderstorms. I’m also getting up an hour earlier than usual at 5AM to walk Molly (Sadie’s too old to be in this weather), get to the gym, grocery store, etc. and be home by noon.

After lunch, heat kills my appetite, too, I shower and check in w/ emails and wait patiently for 2:30 nap time 😴.
