Probably like most of the population last night, the storm kept me awake most of the night and if it wasn't that, it was the heat. :( I don't sleep well at the best of times, but last night was quite impossible.
So, I'm grumpier than usual. Is that possible? Yes, it is.
I have zero energy and when I tried doing some meditation last night, all I could think about was being hot and quite close to finding a pair of scissors to cut off my mane of hair.
And it doesn't matter what I do with my pillows, it still feels like I'm lying my head on something that makes me sweat! I know, ladies perspire, but it's still sweat at the end of the day. Sticky and uncomfortable with a face that looks like a permanent blush.
The only thing about it is I'm not alone.
I had two texts this morning telling me they had a bad night and like me, their other halves slept through the whole night without a care in the world.
Mr C was snoring so loud I couldn't tell if it was thunder or him in the end. I had to prod him quite a few times and as he mumbled, "what's wrong", I quickly responded with, "shut up!".
Another three nights of extreme heat and storms looming, I feel 'done in'.
It made me laugh when I looked online for tips on how to keep cool. The first thing that cropped up was how to keep your makeup intact. **** that. That's the least of my worries and as I'm wearing a European tan from the burning sun and red from the sweating, you'd be hard pushed to notice any makeup at all.
It's simple. Moisturiser, blemish the dark circles and lip balm with a touch of colour.
I haven't been able to wear mascara since having hay fever, it just collects more pollen. Same with eyeliner, it just irritates my eyes. And half the time I'm mopping my brow with cool water to mop up the perspiration.
No, I couldn't really find any good tips online that I didn't already know about and not one of them said, "Go into the kitchen and open your freezer door for a few minutes" while you stand in front of it feeling some relief.
Keep cool everyone.
