Sleeping when it's hot... pretty difficult. Though I did discover that a juicy apple on a hot day is almost heavenly. Now that I've realized that, I'd almost rather have an apple than ice cream or something like that. How does everyone else beat the heat?

You wouldn't think it's so cool if you were on the other end of the needle! Last month I had blood drawn from my wrist for a blood gas test, and man, that HURT! Plus they needed to pierce me 4 times to get it right .
