I feel a bit like a melted candle

I think that is what happens when you do not stay hydrated.
I did not take a water cup to school for the time I was in training. I thought 2 1/2 hrs. would not matter. I would be sitting mostly.
No, it turned into four hours and I got in lots of steps.
Hubby made me a pbj to eat before we went shopping. And I had a glass of milk.
It is still hot outside here, but I am keeping up with the fluids here at home. I slept on the way to the store.
I did not buy a whole lot but I did get a good buy on some wild caught salmon.
I was asked if I could sub today, but had to turn them down. I do need to rest now and then. That is what I am doing now, resting.

That's a good analogy. I kinda felt that way when we were having our heat wave. Then we had a couple days of rain, and yesterday was downright chilly but today was a mostly normal summer day at 26°C/79°F.

What is a pbj? I always bring water bottles everywhere I go. Unless I am sure that I have liquids available for me when I need it.

For sure, not staying hydrated can make you feel wiped out and dizzy, especially when you’re moving around a lot. Glad you’re keeping up with fluids now... 
What’s ur to-go drink to stay refreshed and hydrated??

I hope you feel better soon. And getting enough rest and fluids is important.
We hit 92F this afternoon. I only stepped out long enough to get the mail and to walk around the house checking the new storm windows.

I am glad you are putting more emphasis on taking care of yourself. We all need to rest sometimes. I struggle with that, but I am really trying to do better and I have been taking little naps whenever the opportunity arises. Take good care, Heather.
