What do you do when it is 110 degrees outside, and you cannot afford air conditioning? Go to the library! Pick out a good book, look though magazines, surf the net, and soak up the free air conditioning. That is what I did today.

The heat is intense right now, so find ways to stay cool. Drink lots of water, lots more than you usually do. Stay in the shade or indoors. Use sunscreen! Eat cool foods like watermelon. Watermelon tastes even better on a hot day.

If you hate the library, go see a movie or go to other public places and absorb their air conditioning. Get your body wet, then dry in the sun. When the water is evaporating off your skin, it gives you an awesome chilly feeling. Slow down your strenuous activities or reschedule those activities during a cooler time of the day. If you do not feel well while exercising, stop! Listen to your body.
