sailorzeoWowee. Holy cow. I think I just experienced a combination of heat stroke and dehydration.
I was bored and wanted to kill some time, so I drew a hot bath. Got my customary glass of ice water with it, and soaked for a while. Matt joined me partway through, and when I felt the headache start to throb, I yanked the drain. Got it set up to rinse off, and felt the room spin. I sort of stumbled out of the tub, grabbed the towel, and my legs just folded, right next to the toilet, which was a good thing, because I felt like I was going to throw up.
I just sat there for a while until it passed and I could trust my legs again.
I think the combination of hot weather and hot bath was a bad one. Add in that I'm taking a diuretic and not drinking NEARLY enough water, and yeah, that could be enough to make me pass out. Or throw up. Or both.
So yes, I have a nice glass of ice water next to me now, and I'm going to have several more tonight.
