It's a great way to unwind, sans gasoline. Get a bath pillow, skin scrubs, pretty smelling soap, and good reading material and you're set for at least an hour. With the Ziploc trick, you don't have to worry about turning paper pages, splashing, and you have access to hundreds of books. A little spa in your own home to beat the heat.
Baths are great, but the tub in my bathroom is short. When I have a house of my own, I'm going to make sure I have a tall persons tub! No more of this short person nonsense. And I want taller counters too. Have y'all noticed how short bathroom counters are? It's ridiculous. It's as if architects are prejudiced against tall people. It's sad, really.
I may or may not be half asleep right now. So keep that in mind when you judge this rant. And I'm kinda hungry. I should eat some grapes. They're really good grapes too. No, I won't share, so don't ask. Unless you're really hungry, then you can just have them. I can stop at Raleys tomorrow and buy some more. They're only 99 cents a pound.
Yeah, I need to sleep.

Sleep during the day, awake during the night. (One of the advantages of being an educator - summer break!)
Wear less. (In the privacy of your home, I mean.) Move very little. Get that personal fan pointed right at your face and neck. Stay put and consume resources.
Visit somewhere that has awesome A/C. Oh, look, a Starbucks! (For you, Arwen, Tim Horton's.) Yes, I'd like a bottle of water, please. And I'll be camping in that corner there for the next three hours with my laptop/kindle/book/cross-stitch.
Spray bottle with ice water in it. Give your face a blast every couple of minutes. (May not be as effective in areas with high humidity.)
Make and eat popsicles. Om nom nom nom.

Sometimes it helps if you wet a few washcloths, put them in the fridge for a bit, and then put one around the back of your neck and others around your wrists, this is especially good if you have a fan pointed in your direction. Drink lots of ice water.
The problem around where I live is humidity. You feel sticky as soon as you step outside. Dry heat is much more bearable.
In South Dakota last summer, in the Badlands, one day it got up to 112 F (not even the heat index, that was the actual temperature). Sometimes a breeze will cool you down, but the wind that day was actually HOT. It felt like someone had turned on a hair blow dryer and was pointing it at my face. It was so weird, I had never experienced hot wind before.
