Yowzers.
I thought this morning that it finally had happened. Sometime last night I must of died only to be greeted by insane heat today. Stifling. Hard to breathe. Feeling like you are a lobster being tossed into the boiling water. This must be hell. They were right. I am here. But where is my bus and all my friends? I was sure at least a few of them would be with me.
But why does this hell look an awful lot like my house and street? My neighbourhood? Where are all the bees that I was sure would be flying at me?
Suddenly a wee yellow lion is sneaking up on me and jumping on my back. "Roooar!" he screams.
Lion? Lions in hell? No way.
Big brown eyes peek past the lion and say "good morning mommy! I had a great sleep!"
This can't be hell. This is heaven. Only hotter. A lot hotter.
I'm alive.
The weatherman was right for once. 38.5*C and 49*C with humidity. Hot. It just feels like hell. False alarm.
Let's go to the pool little one. We can swim the day away.
