How to beat the heat
It’s summertime ... and the living ain’t easy. But as they say, ‘If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.’ There’s a very simple home remedy for keeping cool. Stop cooking. Go to the park with a picnic lunch, walk around barefoot in the grass and indulge in a nice cold glass of water with a slice of lemon. I read that dandy piece of advice, without having to pay for it, in a “women’s” magazine at the check-out stand Monday.

Funny, because I had just remarked to the woman behind me that this heat wave was making me sick. Sick and tired. I have quite literally been dragging myself around all week like a land slug. I make my way, Tea very, very slowly, – to and from work– with under cover of my Teresa “shell” on wheels. Windows rolled down, trying to beat the heat. I do have air TERESAMALLAM conditioning but it’s more costly to use. And I live two blocks from work, so the AC doesn’t have time to come on before I reach my destination. I don’t have air conditioning at home. My biggest home challenge, therefore, has been trying to keep enough ice in the ice cube trays and trying to find summer clothes in my closet that aren’t black. I thought briefly about becoming a nudist – just until the heat wave ends. However, I don’t think the other tenants would appreciate me walking down the hallway to do my laundry in the buff. Talk about indecent exposure. So I turned to Mother Earth for answers. After all, she has a pretty big say in how hot – or cold – it gets. And her critters seem to know what to do in a heat wave or a dry spell. So since I felt like a common slug, I wanted to find out what they do to overcome the intense heat and dehydration. Here is what I found: “The soft, slimy bodies of slugs are prone to dessication, so land-living slugs are confined to moist environments and must retreat to damp hiding places when the weather is dry.” I went on Google Earth, I looked everywhere for the best place to keep cool. Now I think I’ve found my perfect “damp hiding place” – and if you need me, that’s where I’ll be. In my bathtub filled with cool water and ice cubes. Really, I think the heat is getting to me.
