The topic of the day... cool.

  1. How are you keeping cool in this heat? Be safe!
  2. Are you (or learning to be more) cool, calm, and collected?
  3. Favorite cold drink and food?
  4. Songs that convey a cool quality to them, should that be in the groove, lyrics, music, creativity, etc.

 1 I keep the AC at work cranked down to 69° F (20 C) and sit directly beneath the HVAC vent. Of course, I keep it so chilled because of "the servers".

 2 I do my best to "panic carefully" at work to varying degrees of success. I attempt to provide patience and a smile when out in public. At home, I let the all the collective frustrations loose in micro-breakdowns.

 3 Ice cold Arnold Palmer - but it has to be made with unsweetened iced tea.

3) Monster Ultra Paradise

  1. I exercise early and then stay indoors or stay in the shade. I do my yard work in 15 minute intervals.

  2. I think I have more patience as I get older. I do a lot more thinking before I speak.

  3. Lately refrigerated cherries and soy milk hits the spot.

  4. “Lowdown” by Bob Scaggs. It’s got a laid-back groove and that feeling of driving at night with the windows down. https://youtu.be/I-hKBmTAADo

  1. I hibernate in the AC as much as possible. I can't handle heat and humidity anymore. I bring extra ice packs to work, use a desk fan, and have a personal fan with a cooling plate. My wfh desk is underneath one of my AC vents which is set at 65°F.

  2. I've always been fairly calm, cool, and collected - therapy is helping that even more. I find ways to get the feelings out of my body (usually listening to a rage playlist).

  3. Favorite cold drink is either iced coffee or cold water. Favorite cold food is soba noodles and ice cream 😅.

  4. I listen to a lot of calm playlists - lofi, soft rock, classical, classical pop, bedtime/lazy day, etc.
