Seriously, I'm a cold weather person. Its been 90-100+ degrees every day since saturday and its making me bonkers - I don't have AC, so I've been pinned to my couch with a fan blowing right on me. Its not supposed to go away until next week, either.

Sweat has been pouring off of me nonstop, and in the past day I drank close to 3 gallons of water. Today I've been awake for less than 3 hours and I've already drank a half gallon of water. I normally push to drink this much in a day, but I just can't seem to keep from sweating and drinking more water. Its also making it really hard for me to judge how much water I actually need to drink.

On the upside, I think if I have this much water going through my system its going to clean me out really well, right?

    sorry your so miserable, but WELCOME TO MY WORLD!!!!!:explode:

    I know where we live is a choice, but it seems the heat/humidity in Louisiana is getting worse and the HOT season is getting longer and longer.

    Just drink your water and look at the bright side, if your sweating that much, it's burning calories as if you were working out!!!! whoo hoooo!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
