Week 12: Mondays - Recharging My Batteries

With this heat wave we are presently experiencing in the province I find a fever can make the days and evenings a bit more challenging.  I am not able to afford an air conditioner and even if I could - they raise the rent on the units who are using them.  I will need to rely on the fans in the house (which I am pretty sure use up more energy than a newer model air conditioner). So far, they are doing the job.


I find going at a slower pace when I am doing an activity like dishes, cooking, gardening, and grocery shopping is helpful.  I take plenty of breaks in between and remain hydrated. 

Instead of taking my shower first thing in the morning when temperatures outside are still low, I wait until early noon when the humidity rises.  It cools me off for a good part of the day.

My new refreshing drink;

 Fill tall glass with ice cubes and add...

* 2 parts 100% grapefruit juice
* 1 part ginger ale or water
* 1 squeeze of lemon or lime juice
* splash of 100% orange juice

As a treat, this goes down real nice!

Until next time,

Deborah
