Freezers, Insomnia, Gump, Rides, and Extra Clothes

Once again, it's insanely hot in Toronto, and I am once again suffering from the meat-locker that is my apartment. All the cold air falls down to the basement and while most people are sweating in front of fans, I'm wearing a sweater. The same thing happened last year and I still feel guilty about it.

I slept like absolute crap last night. Usually when I'm restless, it's just because I have to go to the bathroom, but that didn't work. I read for a while, and that didn't work either. I'm not exactly sure why, but it could be the 90-minute nap from 5:30-7:00. It could also be that I accidentally ran 10k before bed.

I really didn't mean to. I went for a long run on Saturday, and then decided that I would go for a short jog last night. I left at 10:55 and after running from Ossington and Harbord to University and Front. It was the strangest thing. My legs felt good and I wasn't tired, so I just kept running.

After the rough night, I got a TTC closure related call at 8:30 which wasn't a problem at all except that I feared that I would be stuck in traffic longer than I had slept the night before. It was all moot since the traffic was smooth. I would argue that it was easier to get around downtown Toronto today than it usually is. It was nice not having to deal with those pesky streetcars.

I was forced however, to change at work. I wore shorts and a t-shirt for my walk, and in my backpack had all my work clothes. I knew that I would be sweaty and gross when I arrived at work, so I had to be smart and not wear my blue jeans and blue collared shirt in 40 degree heat. I felt like a moron changing socks and shoes at work, but that's what my life is going to become if it's going to be nasty-gross hot all summer.

Work was another day of work. It was busy, but I did manage to work on Gidrah: The Three-Headed Monster which has easily become one of the bad-funniest movies I've ever seen.
