Mid-August Nightmares

This summer heat is intense and I can't keep myself dry for even a few seconds sitting here at my desk looking at the monitor. I'm supposed to be working on endless data but I'm not. I am uneasy. I've only spent a few minutes outside this house the entire day. Most of it sweating more bucket loads as I helped my lovely neighbor bring up her new refrigerator into her house on a small hill.

But it is the 15th of August. I did not understand why it stood out in my mind this morning. And then...

...I had nightmares. Nightmares so foul it is a wonder why I'ms till sane (or am I?). Severe headaches.

And all it takes is a good cold shower in the evening to rid of it all.
