Spring Days

Yesterday and the day before were very warm outside. It was close to 80 degrees those two days which is rare around here but does occasionally happen a few times per year. I thought it would be no big deal since I had been up until a couple days ago, been getting one or two hot flashes during the day time. Mine usually kicked in more at night. So I figured even in 80 degree weather in the day by night it would be more like 50 something. So, I was more then surprised when I was just  sitting in my usual spot watching a little TV and out of nowhere my face started to get hot. Then my neck. I said aloud oh no. My mom looked at me like I was nuts and probably thought I was talking to the TV. I then was more surprised when I broke out in a hot sweat. Sweat started dripping off of my face down my chin and onto my shirt. I never had that happen before. 


I grabbed the end of my shirt and used it for a temporary towel and proceeded to wipe the sweat out of my eyes. The bottom of my shirt was wet with sweat.  I couldn't believe it. Just when I changed shirts and got a ice cold glass of water it happened again about 30 minutes later.  It was not as intense but I was sweating again. This time I was more prepared with a small handful of paper towels. I quickly wiped the sweat from my face and sipped more water. 

As I sat back in my chair after the last episode of hotness I thought to myself this is definitely is going to be a very long, long hot summer if those two days were any indication. I better enjoy the cool spring days while I can.
