Hi!! Almost every weekend I look forward to a FaceTime chat with my best friend in the whole world, Kate, of Live In The Nautical. Our nonstop gab fests literally give me life and and I am truly the luckiest gal in the world because of Kate. This past weekend we enjoyed a call after Johnny and I returned home from mini golfing and spent three hours talking about any and everything. During our talkathon, we lamented about the upcoming heat wave in both of our necks of the woods and were dreading it. Myself, especially.

Because of the medications I’m on, I do not do well in extreme heat whatsoever. I get incredibly nauseous, lightheaded, and dizzy and it sucks so bad. What makes it even worse is mine and Johnny’s apartment which can only be described as a sweat lodge. During these blazing days, the temperature at chez moi skyrocketed to over ninety degrees and I seriously just wanted to cry. It has basically been a trial run of burning in hell lol. -_-

In the midst of my misery, Kate told me that there was a surprise for me on the way. And, on Tuesday, it arrived minutes before I had to head to my next shift at work. Talk about perfect timing! Check it out:

To help beat the heat, Kate gifted me with a portable neck fan and while my body was already melting, my heart followed suit. This is the textbook definition of a sweet surprise! My best girl knows my limitations in the heat, is well aware of my apartment situation, and presented me with the best thing she could do to help from states away. Like I said, I am the luckiest gal in the world because of Kate. ❤ This was the kindest, most thoughtful gesture and I have felt simply spoiled this past week between my new fan and Peakychu plush!

Once I returned home from work, I got the fan charging while Johnny and I watched Nightmare Next Door and was SO excited to give it a go. This little baby works like a charm and my sweet surprise provided sweet relief. The fan offers the most pleasant breeze around my face which is amazing because I pretty much sweat nonstop as soon as I get home. Not only did it feel good to have on but it felt good on my heart lol. Even in the throws of despair this heat has caused, I had to smile because of my bestie. If that isn’t a cure all solution, then I genuinely don’t know what is!

The blogosphere brought Kate and I together and I’d just like to take a moment to thank the blog gods. This angel has changed my world for the better every day and I am forever thankful! ❤

Does your best friend live nearby? How do you keep in touch if not? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
