It's not the heat, it's the stupidity.

I'm pretty happy with the temperatures at the moment. I actually miss the humid summers of Toronto and this is pretty close. After living there my entire life I've come up with a few things to stay sane in stuffy, un-airconditioned apartments. Like: leaving the bath filled with cool water for quick cool offs; wrapping cold, damp towels around my hound to help keep her comfortable; leaving the blinds closed to keep the sunlight out; two fans!; drinking peppermint tea (no sweetener); and making cold soups and salads for meals (tonight was orange chicken salad, tomorrow it's gazpacho!).

What do you do to help stay cool?

*disclaimer: while I do love the heat and humidity, I do get a little tetchy when my eyelids or ankles sweat :D
