Booy is it hot, again. I don't know about anywhere else, but New England can be pretty brutal. The humidity has crippled most people yet again. This level of humidity is such that yesterday, they put a weather advisory in the newspaper, encouraging people to stay in, if they didn't have to be outside. This thick, steam bath has caused it to feel like it's 100 degrees outside. I read in the New York Times about a week ago that the weather has caused city denizens to be cranky, ready to pounce at the slightest infraction. One woman said that a co-worker asked her a simple question, and she became irritated, for no reason really. I've been watching people coming in from out of the curtain of humid air, their gait dragging. Our regular mailman was drenched. The Fed-Ex man complained that the fabric on their uniforms were heavy and uncomfortable, and how they've complained on numerous occassions, to no avail. He said, the powers that be don't care, because they get to sit in an air-conditioned office. Needless to say, we are not happy campers out on this end. Hopefully we'll get a reprieve by tomorrow. Stay cool everybody... especially you pregnant women.

Needless to say it's going to be a steamer the whole week. The only break is today saturday and Monday back to work w/this humidity. Seems the more water I drink the more I sweat. It sucks being pregnant through the summer, you have no energy.
