You Know It's the Hot Season When...

Top Ten Reasons You Know It's The Hot Season:

10: Quite simply, you just never stop sweating.

9: You start dropping weight because you are drinking SO MUCH water your stomach just can't take anything more.

8: You don't even want to fan yourself because even that air is just too hot.

7: You develop an affinity for Gold Bond that you haven't felt since the days of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

6: No more writing letters or journaling by candle light...that candle flicker is just too hot!

5: No more writing letters or journaling by candle light...because the candle melted before it was even lit...

4: Thermometers overheat.

3: Each morning you wake up feeling like you have the worst hangover ever...not from alcohol...it's just dehydration.

2: 92 degrees starts to feel chilly in the early hours of the morning.

1: You lie awake all night, tossing and turning to find that one part of your bed and pillow that hasn't yet become a pool of sweat. Eventually the donkeys start making noise, meaning the sun is about to rise...and so is the temperature!

However, I must also share that on the flip-side, this means we have all been sleeping outside each night (at least for a few hours), and since the rains aren't here yet there aren't any mosquitoes, either. Let me tell you, falling asleep outside... under the full moon, watching clouds build up, surrounded by silhouettes of palm trees and hut houses, while listening to the sound of drumming coming from different parts of the village MAY just be one of the most amazing experiences one could have. It's pretty cool (figuratively speaking), so say the least.
