Why is it so hot?

It's damn hot in Mountain View today. The air is a bit humid and the sun is blaring. Wow it's hot. I wish I could handle heat like I used to down in LA. I used to wear jeans and stuff in the 100 degree summers and I was fine! I used to sweat a little bit, but not too much. Now, it gets over 80 and I'm dying. Not literally dying or anything, but I'm really hot and uncomfortable. Maybe because I've gotten quite a bit fatter since moving up here? Maybe because I've just grown accustomed to the cool to mild temperatures of the bay area? Hm. Whatever it is, it's made the heat unbearable for me. When I go home to visit, I wear lots of dresses and try not to move while the sun is out. I usually try to avoid leaving the house between the hours of 1-4 because it's just too damn hot. I'm pathetic.

What else is new... hmm. I went to work yesterday, left early to go to REI (bought a really nice/thin/warm NorthFace brown fleece jacket, earplugs, a clothesline, and a microfiber thin towel), got my second ever bikini wax (why? I guess because I'm going to Europe. Who cares, no one will see it but me. It wasn't too bad this time but I did buy some numbing cream to try next time... bikini waxes are awesome), then when I went out to dinner with Ellen at Osha (a Thai place). Dinner was pretty dang yummy. We had chicken satay and thai iced tea. I ordered the pad thai and Ellen got the tom yum. Man we were full after dinner.

Today I just had work and a lovely massage. Now I'm just kind of killing time until the traffic dies down a bit. I need to hit up Best Buy to buy Heroes Season 1 on DVD and then I'll head home to start packing. I've been freaking out (as you can tell from my earlier entries) about the whole packing situation. I'll be sleeping, then wake up and realize I forgot to write something on my packing list, wake up and actually write the item on my list, then go back to sleep. It's completely neurotic. But if it helps me pack, then whatever. I've got lots of crap on that list.
