Houston Heat

Summer is back. Houston broke a record this past Saturday with a high of 96°. Sunday was almost as hot, and I wasn't really prepared.

I spent Sunday morning replacing our mailbox that had finally broken (not the results of vandalism - it just broke). It took me about 2 hours to do, and I was getting pretty warm doing it. It is mostly level, although it's leaning back and to the left a little.

Looking back on my efforts, I think I did not drink enough water. I was unusally crabby for most of the rest of the day, even a little short-tempered with my daughters. I eventually felt better by the evening. I hope to use this experience to make sure I keep myself hydrated, especially during the summer (the next 5 months).
