Seattle saw the first of it's heat waves, where temperatures reached into the mid 90s. For us temperate bunch, this can be rather uncomfortable. Having been raised in a household with air-conditioning, I rarely fall victim to the heat as I can cozy up under my down comforter in bed as the air-conditioner hums away. However, as luck would have it, I spent that blistering week housesitting in West Seattle, were the master suite was equipped with 2 life-saving essentials: a giant soaking tub for ice baths and a window fan. As the heat index rose, I did everything I could to soak up the sun while taking breaks to keep cool and refilling my cup with a variety of ice cold beverages. I sunbathed and then took ice baths. I sun bathed and drove to destinations with the AC up (and maybe the sunroof was open). It all looked a little something like this:
It got so hot even Max was trying his darnedest to stay cool.
When I walked into the house on the last day of the heat wave I gave my dad a hug and he asks, "What the best thing about this moment." I replied, "The air-conditioning." He chuckled, "Yep, worth every penny."
