    This rich lady's paying me to water her flowers and plants for the next two weeks while she's off in Canada and uh, if some of them turn to dust from the heat I hope she doesn't blame me. Fuck I just started watering them yesterday, she has a big backyard with over a hundred plants and the heat was insane. I took my shirt off and felt like I was being cooked alive

      Get a uv sun hat and soak it in cold water before putting it on. It will give you a temporary reprieve.

      In direct sunlight in these temps, you're gonna want to wear a loose shirt/pants (or better yet a robe, but that's a bit hard in the west for masc types.) So go for the loosest puffiest cotton/linen pirate shirt you can find. And cover your head. Taking your shirt off works better if you're running or there's a breeze.
