Hard to Think

I’ve found that it’s really hard to think in this heat. I’ve often wondered why everything here is so illogical but I really think that the heat can get to you and kind of mess you up. Lately I’ve been having some trouble talking, doing things, etc. Not real trouble, but sometimes I’ll say something in English and it will be totally wrong grammatically or not even make any sense. And then sometimes, I just make a fool out of myself.

Last night we were playing the game ‘I’ve Never’. It’s a good team building kind of get to know each other game and since we’re all pretty new, we figured we’d play. Plus, we live in the middle of the desert, and it’s not like there’s anything else to do here! The rules of the game are easy, one person stands up and says something that they’ve never done (it has to be true). Everyone who HAS done that thing has to stand up and change seats, the person left in the middle has to say something they’ve never done and the game just goes on. It’s really a dumb game, but it’s amazing the things that you can learn about people. Anyways, so at this point in the game we’ve been playing for over an hour and we’ve gone through stuff like ‘I’ve never been to New York’ or ‘I’ve never seen a Broadway play’, both of which I’ve done. Eventually, I got stuck in the middle and came up with ‘I’ve never been North of Oklahoma’. (Let me explain my thought process, I’ve never been to Kansas, so I said I’ve never been north of OK) Everyone gets up and switches chairs, I get a seat, the game continues, until about 5 minutes later when someone realizes that I have been North of Oklahoma…..numerous times. For some reason, at that particular moment, I didn’t think that Virginia, or New York, or Russia were North of Oklahoma. So I made a complete fool of myself, but what’s interesting is that no one else caught on either!!!! At least not until a few minutes later. It’s gotta be the heat…If not then I might should dye my hair blonde!
