Heat Advisory

I think the heat has gotten to me.  I went to my dentist appointment yesterday feeling pretty icky but attributing it to white coat fever.  Problem is, when I left the dentist I still felt icky.  Clearly it was more than just nerves.

Now, the appointment:  it appears that my tooth cracked a while back, schmutz got into the crack, caused a cavity, and weakened the tooth, which is why it broke last week.  The dentist says the decay is deep enough that I may need a root canal, but since it doesn’t hurt it’s iffy.  They are so busy I can’t get the work done until the end of next week. 

So I went home, still queasy and feeling a bit shaky and decided to go back to bed for a while.  The joy of working nights, right?  Only, when I got up a couple hours later I was worse.  I felt shaky and, I don't know, kind of fuzzy in the head, almost like I'd been drinking, which I had not.  Dr. Walker’s diagnosis?   I did too much over the weekend, and most of it outdoors.   On Saturday I cut the grass, cleaned up the patio, cleaned the house, did five loads of laundry, got groceries, and rearranged a couple pieces of furniture in the living room.  On Sunday, I helped my friend Becca move house.  She went from a second floor apartment on one  end of town to a second floor apartment on the other end of town.  We hauled boxes, bags, clothes, and small furniture pieces up and down stairs from nine in the morning until five in the afternoon.  Then all the helpers came back to my house for a cookout.  I drank a ton of water both days, but I do believe Walker may be right on this one.  I think I had too much heat.  My body is used to sitting at a desk in an air conditioned office.  I’ll probably have to take it easy for a day or two.
