The weather is going to be hot this week. It looks like I'll be getting about 27 degrees here, maybe 28 during midday times, if I'm unlucky. I'm working today as well I'm so anxious about working and now I've got the heat to worry about and anxious in case I don't remember to drink as that's a problem for me. I'm surprised at this sudden increase in temperature after a much cooler August. I've got my hat and sunglasses, hoping I can hide under a tree with the children today.
The good news is I got on amazingly at work today. It and a lot better than I thought it would.
No points to anxiety today!
But it's so hot. I feel like I'm melting, wish I could go to a cooler part of the country for a few days. It looks like this is in for the week. So long as I remember to drink it should go ok.
That's great. I hope your new job is still going well.
Not remembering to drink is definitely an autistic thing. It's related to our interoceptive awareness (or lack of). I experience it most when I am in a state of hyper focus on something.
