Jul. 3rd, 2003 04:08 pmI think I overworked myself when I was washing and waxing my car outside a little bit ago. It's about 104 degrees outside today with an ass load of humidity, and I had nothing but a little bit of cherry limeade from Sonic to drink. When I got done with the washing part, everything got kind of dark and far away and I felt a little lightheaded. So...a little freaked out by this, I went inside (burning my feet on the sidewalk on the way) and rested for about 30 seconds. I grabbed what was left of my cherry limeade and headed outside to wax, burning my poor feet again. I tried to drink as much as I could and sit down or kneel if I felt dizzy, but it didn't help much. By the time I was finished with that, I was feeling kind of nauseated. Without even moving the car off the grass, I went back into the house, grabbed the biggest glass of ice water I could muster, and sat down at the computer to cool myself off and rest. The air conditioning is helping a lot.
Note to self: don't wash car at 3:30 p.m. in July.
