I'm Melting!!!

Hello everyone!  I hope there are at least some of you who are escaping this heat wave.  It's officially unbearable in NC right now, with the Raleigh area having a heat index of 112.  (Actual temp: 102.  Insanity.)  I am sitting in my air conditioned apartment with the ceiling fan on high, and I'm still roasting away.  I'm sad because this means that at least for tomorrow, I won't be able to go on my run :(  It won't get below 80 tonight and it's going to be super muggy, so I don't think I will even try it.  I don't do well being overheated, I like the heat but this is above and beyond.  Hopefully it'll calm down for Tuesday morning.

Today was a good day.  I went to church this morning for the first time in probably 8-10 years.  I don't really discuss religion or my beliefs on this blog, but I have been feeling very strongly that I wanted to go since winter time.  My work schedule prevented me from being able too, but now that I am no longer at Target, I decided now was the time.  I had researched and found one right down the road from me, and it was very, very interesting.  I grew up in a very calm, organized, quiet church.  I hated going, I was always so bored, and that hour was the longest hour of my week.  Today was definitely not boring.  People were dancing, singing, running around, there was a full band playing music... It was quite a culture shock, but in a good way.  I liked it, and I think I will be back.  Everyone was so friendly, that was the first thing I noticed.  It seems like a really good group of people.

Anyway, I was going to do some cooking for the rest of the day after church, but that is out of the question.  I think I may need to go crawl in my freezer now.  I hope everyone on the east coast is surviving these temps and finding some way to stay cool!

Kris- Thanks!! It was a good experience. I think church is a personal thing, and I definitely think people can be spiritual and not need church.

ktbwood- I thought you would appreciate that :) It's Tuesday, and since I am still happy about it, that means it was the right decision.

Brittany- UGHHHHH.... I haven't been able to run for 2 days now. I will try again tomorrow, I'm hoping that this storm outside will calm the heat and humidity down for a little while.
