What's The Sound We Make For Heat? "Phew!"? *

We had a bit of a cooler week this week which was delightful for me and allowed for some sleep.

I was genuinely excited to go to bed the other night knowing I'd be using my blanket, and I did!

But last night (as we head in to a slightly warmer weekend) I was back down to my sheet and this morning I had pulled up the blanket and needed to kick it off again (to stay asleep for a while longer) and today's going to be a "mitigate the heat" kind of day and that's unfortunately stressing me out.

I haven't slept all that well for most of Summer and it's unfortunate because I like lots of things about Summer like the longer days and the bright days and the outdoor events and general lack of rain during activities and plans.  I figure my lack of sleep isn't entirely due to warmth but it certainly contributes.


* You know how when we talk about being cold we might say "brrrrr!" So what's the equivalent thing to say for being hot?  There isn't really one is there?  There's the "fanning yourself with your hand" motion but there's no equivalent sound?
