hot weather.

today, it got up to above 100 outside. i kept all the windows open until it got in the mid 70's outside, & then shut all windows/shades. i went to the beaverton farmers market briefly & made a quick trip to the library, but didn't last long in the heat. i cut my list of errands short and just stayed at home watching tv. i was up early this morning (4:45am), and despite going back to bed at 8 for a bit, i felt groggy & sluggish the rest of the day. for some reason, my pulse keeps beating at above 100, resting. i'm normally below 60... it makes me feel uncomfortable.

j went climbing for the day - i can't believe he lasted as long as he did considering the heat. we spent the late afternoon watching "there will be blood" in our cool basement, before opting to go out for dinner to mingo. it's a restaurant in our neighborhood that we had never tried before, and it was decent italian food. it was nice to have a break from our meal of the week - red curry - and not have to cook in the heat! we do have air conditioning, but i'm trying not to use it. we're going to sleep in the basement tonight, as it's almost 10pm and still 86 outside.
