I am not a lizard

[la_marquise]

I seem to have transformed, over the last few days, into a character from a Somerset Maughan novel. Specifically, one of those frail women who droop over chaises longues, in states of perpetual fragility and weakness. It is, quite simply, both too hot and too humid. I can cope with one at a time, but both together... No. Nothing is getting done, I can't concentrate.
Dizziness, headaches, lethargy... If you want me, I shall be reclining on the daybed, cologne-soaked handkerchief in hand.
(It's not heat-stroke. I know the symptoms -- been there, done that -- and how to avoid it. I'm just no good at this kind of weather.)

Skirt of the day: long blue cotton.

I don't deal well with temps over 88F, especially not with added humidity, but we have a/c so I can use that when needed and I do because I also function poorly in heat and humidity. However, 82 is perfect for me, but may be high for many.

Too high for me. Anything over about 55 and I begin to mutter. You're a remarkable woman!
