43 Whopping Degrees

43 whopping degrees. Look at the comparison between Adelaide and Chicago from 2:52 pm today. Notice how it's all converted to Fahrenheit. Big difference, yes?

If you're from Chicago, I am not showing this to you so that I can point and laugh at you (I might if it were 25 degrees cooler.).I am showing this to you to make a point. It gets HOT here. This weather makes people CRAZY! It doesn't just make people at work crazy because our air conditioning company is getting dozens of service calls per hour. This hot weather makes the dry air feel so thick that you can eat it with a spoon. I'm serious. Going outside is like stepping into a sauna without the humidity. It could drive anybody nuts (especially when I had to endure a 25-minute bus ride without air conditioning this afternoon). 

 I'd pick the dry heat over humidity any day (my hair is much tamer), but I'm not going to deny that I want it to cool down. Even now, at 10 pm, it's in the 90s (91 here, 23 in Chicago)! Imagine sleeping like that. It's actually very  hard for us, because the air conditioning in Penny and Jamie's house doesn't cool down our room. We have to turn on our fan and keep the window open so that it blows out all of the hot air. Luckily, it's cooling down tomorrow....compared to now.

Tomorrow, I'll tell you all about Guacho's Argentinian Restaurant. I only took one picture, but I can tell you that I'm glad we went!

As you complain about a little bit of heat ;).... We are all preparing for the "Midwest BLIZZARD." The way the weathermen are talking, this will be the worst snow storm in 50 years and stretches from Kansas to Chicago..... We're expecting between 18 and 24 inches.


Wanna switch!

    I am  a Chicago-based Registered Dietitian working primarily in Acute Clinical Care. I started this blog in 2010, before I even knew that I wanted to be an RD! Now, as an active dietitian, this blog will become part of my life again. Read about my current healthy habits, but please peruse my old posts (from 2014 and before) to read about life as an RD student and my previous years in Australia!
