scrapbookbuzz Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I envy all of you that have temps UNDER 100*F right now! Today it's 113*F, next Wednesday: 115*F. I did TRY to move, I really did. Even made it out of the desert for a couple of months but the job didn't work out. As I prayed and soul-searched, came to the conclusion that I needed to be with my family, in Phoenix. But OI! The HEAT! Heat and my brain do not get along. Can someone please put an URGENT on the maintenance request for the outside A/C??? (Thanks for listening. I'll now be looking for my tent and planning my escape to the mountains until temps here get to "tolerable." ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 You sound miserable! Do you have Frog Toggs towels? That's how my dh deals with the heat. He used to alternate them in the fridge and his neck all day long. We recently bought some mini ones for trips and they work nearly as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pen Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 It’s only 90 ish here and even that’s too hot. I feel for you! We don’t have a/c and I have been using keeping wet —especially my head— and especially with cool or cold water— and gel ice pads a lot. It helps a lot. Trees help, but probably not so much of that in Phoenix. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) It’s 100degF right now and I am hiding in my neighborhood supermarket. DS14 wants to make parfait which is why I am here; we are all out of yoghurt. ETA: At least some flowers are blooming and not wilting (outside the supermarket) Edited August 15, 2019 by Arcadia 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I don't love heat either. Nor humidity for that matter. My room (where I usually work) is the hottest in the house, so between that and middle aged hot flashes, some days are just a total bust. We'll look forward to fall together! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmseB Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 In total solidarity, OP. No end in sight to the triple digits for us here either. 😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 It's only in the low 90's here, but the humidity is (as usual) horrendous. I am so tired of living in a sauna. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaBelle Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I don't like hot. Haven't ridden a horse in two weeks. Mowed the lawn and got straight in my grandkid's swimming pool. And it's rained so much this summer here, way unusual, that I've had to mow twice a week to keep up. Humidity is awful although nothing like the South.
