Such A Stupid Mistake

It wasn’t really that hot yesterday, well, not as hot as it can get. However, the computer room has a large bay window that gets the full force of the sun practically all day long and the computer is situated right by it. Now, we haven’t hooked up the swamp cooler yet so the only source of cool air is a small fan. Now, as I mentioned, it hasn’t been that hot lately and I’ve been working on a new layout for the Anime Bashers/Haters hatelisting and was really on a role. Well, when I’m on a roll on something I tend to forget to eat…and drink. When I finally got thirsty I got up and cracked open a cold Pepsi.
It was hot yesterday, warmer than it’s been lately anyway, and I was basically sitting “in the sun” for about six hours straight with nothing to drink and no protection from the sun. It really isn’t that surprising that when I chugged down some soda I felt my vision swim and then my toso and arms started cramping - heat stroke and dehydration.
Needless to say, I spent the rest of the day away from the computer and in the comfort of my nice cool (and dark!) room drinking water and trying to bring my body temp back down. I dozed off and on too. This of course means my sleep pattern is now totally wack. But hey, I did get the majority of the new layout coded and designed and now I’m just working on some new codes for folks before rolling out the new look.
I had the tv going in the background while I worked last night, and let me tell you, there sure are a lot of late-night infomercials. If I hear another ad for acne treatments I think I might scream. 
Now I’m off to finish my delicious breakfast - jalapeño bagels smothered in strawberry cream cheese.

Please don’t bake yourself! Take care.
Yikes, isn’t it amazing how zoned into our task we can get that we forget the basic functions of eating and drinking and not overheating? hehe
Be careful!
I can’t say much. When I get wrapped up in things, I forget to eat and drink too. Recently, I was so wrapped up in a thing I was writing that I lost track of time. I forgot to have lunch and then when I finally slowed and realized I was aching, I got up to get food. Only for my legs to wobble, go out on me and take me down to the floor. Where I hit my head on the edge of the desk and acquired a nice little cut across my forehead. Hooray. Lol.
