Hot Hot Heat

Well we have made it to the heat of the summer. I am writing this from the coolest spot on my property, my back deck as my home does not have air conditioning. So while most of the country, I mean the northern hemisphere is now suffering from the heat of the summer here are a few tips to dealing with the heat.

  • Drink plenty of fluids ( by this I mean water, not caffeinated drinks which will make it worse for you)
  • Limit your time outside during the hottest part of the day
  • If you still want to get your workout in, do it in the early morning or late evening
  • Wear light breathable fabrics and a hat with a wide brim if venturing out
  • Have all the watermelon you want or other hydrating foods like spinach, lettuce or celery.
  • Keep blinds or curtains drawn today to help prevent rooms from heating up
  • Lastly take a cold shower, it will lower your body temperature and is actually good for you.

Today I am thankful for the beautiful quiet and cool spot to work on my back deck, that I was able to get a much needed appointment at short notice and the sounds of the birds in the trees behind my house.

I look forward to hearing from you in regard to your mortgage needs.

Hot Hot Heat

The real estate market is not the only thing that’s hot lately. With our 2nd day of an extreme heat warning we are all a little hot around the collar. Even though the warm weather is a welcome relief to the snow and freezing temperatures that we had not too long ago, we do need to take some precautions to make sure that we and those around us are safe.

In that note here are some heat safety tips:

  1. Drink plenty of cool fluids ( mostly water) regularly throughout the day even when you don’t think that you are thirsty.
  2. Stay cool by staying out of the direct sun between peak hours of 11-3, keep an eye on the weather forecast.
  3. Wear light weight light coloured clothing if you must be outside.
  4. If you must be outside for work, take frequent breaks, apply sunscreen and wear a wide brimmed hat to help offset the sun exposure.
  5. Be aware of the signs of heat related illnesses like heat stroke, these include dizziness or fainting, nausea, headache, rapid breathing, extreme thirst and changes in behaviour in children like sleepiness.

Today I am thankful for a cool basement office, getting out for a walk then a run before it got too hot and the cool disposition of my clients and referral sources in this hot real estate market.

I look forward to hearing from you in regard to your mortgage needs.
