We have been pretty lucky this summer--such nice mild weather. Then I decide to go camping and the normal weather hits. Unfortunately, on Sunday, as we were putting up our camper, I didn't drink any water--just a lot of diet coke.

Today, I am paying the price. I think that I ended up with heat stroke. I tried to go to work, but as I was trying to grade papers, I just couldn't keep awake. So I got one of the other teachers to look after my class and I went home. I slept nearly four hours. Had a little something to eat and then went back to sleep. The dog and cat were sleeping with me--one in the crook of each arm.

So I have avoided diet coke and ice tea and tried to drink a lot of water. I feel so bad. Oh well, it can only get better.
