Heatwave Hypothermia

In Winter, I have been saying for a while that death will take me from heatstroke in the middle of February when it is 17 degrees F (-9C) out. This could happen while I am coming home from subzero painting, wearing heaters and 13 lbs of clothing.

Until today, I never considered it might be hypothermia in August during a heatwave!!

I did not expire today, but I almost got hypothermia during a NYC heatwave.  

Daya's Move|NYC intensive starts tomorrow, and today was orientation.

A four hour long orientation.

For parents and students.

So I went to the boathouse in the morning, because it's not that far away.

Right before I had to leave, we had our very own Pier 26-specific rainstorm.
I was soaking wet.
I did not bring a change of clothes because I did not plan on getting soaking wet.

Look how this black raincloud is only directly above the pier.





So I went to the 4 hour long dance orientation soaking wet.
At the end of it I was Mostly Damp.

The air conditioning in that building is rather excellent, but it is not a good thing if you are soaking wet.

I was shivering and my fingers were numb.

And it was 95 degrees outside.
