I have been fortunate to not have had more than the 1.5 flashes since starting the tamoxifen. However, I have noticed that my internal thermostat may run a little warmer. A lot of my shirts for work are sleeveless and basically since it has turned summer I have been nothing but a hot sweaty mess. I never needed a/c before. Now with multiple stretches of hot humid days I need air conditioning. Last summer I was able to get by with a tried and true method of cold shower, fan and tank tops. I was never one who had trouble sleeping in the heat. Well that is all changed. I have had difficulty sleeping in the heat waking up a couple of times a night. Last night was the most trouble I've had in a long time. I had multiple pajama changes and was awake from 2-3:30 am. My elaborate stay cool plan failed! Thankfully, I am spending the remainder of the weekend at my parents who have central air. I've already had a nice nap.
Last night I started the evening by getting a giant ice cream cone. The ice cream scooper recommended I take a cup with my double scoop peanut butter oreo, but I decided I would be able to eat faster than it would melt. Former ChemE fail. I made it across the street in the 93 degree heat with the 99.9% humidity before my ice cream started melting. I had melted ice cream and oreo cookie bits covering my entire right forearm, drips down my leg and all over my work bag. My brilliant self only grabbed a napkin. One. After I finished the cone the heat had made the drippings extra sticky so I walked home covered in oreo and brown napkin pieces. Yes, it's the most attractive I've ever been. However, the peanut butter oreo ice cream was super delicious and totally worth being covered in drips.
Also, any reports that my hair might be straightening out have been greatly exaggerated. Holy head of curls.
