Julie,
We just had a little bit of rain and it has cooled down some--
but is still muggy. The temp went down about 15 degrees.

Millie good morning!!
I don't deal with the heat well either. Also been getting your weather up here in Canada. 100Celcius temp
and up + the humidity on top of that and it is a scorcher. Lots of people specially the young treated for heat
stroke as they drink pop etc and forget about water. Nothing takes the place of that good ol' water.
Today is a bit better and in the late 20s but what I find is if you do have to go out just for a second, and
come back in to AC home then it really hits you.
Also find don't feel much like eating....oh oh oh....and we all know that isn't good.
Wear a hat should you be out and sun glasses to protect yourself too, along with that water bottle always
helps.
Take care and have an extra special day.
Julie

Kelly,
Today we had 96 degrees with it feeling like 110 they say. I was
out for about 1 minute to put out the trash after working in the
dining room. I work in the dining room every Thurs and 2 or 3 Sundays.
the dining room is in my building-- so I don't have to go out.
Our 4 H fair is starting tomorrow for 10 days. Even if I would have
planned to go -- I wouldn't-- I just don't stand heat well. My AC works fine.
Even if we had that kind of heat before -- it would cool down at nite but this
is not cooling down.
What is a swamp cooler?
Millie

Millie,
You just get use to the pain it I guess. I have a theory that how much
pain you tolerate depends on what the worst pain you have ever been in
is. You know how when you go to the Dr. they ask you "on a scale of
1-10, 10 being the worst pain you've been in, what's your pain today?"
Well, most woman think childbirth is their 10, that's like a 5 to me.
Inter-cranial monitoring is my 10. So, though I have pain every day, my
tolerance to it is higher. I just cope with it, and keep within my
limits of activity.
As far as the heat goes, we live in the Northern Nevada desert, so it
get hot, but it is dry so there is no added heat index to the
temperature. When it is 100 degrees the heat index is 100 degrees.
Also, because the humidity is near zero or near it all the time here,
swamp coolers work great, and are much cheaper to keep running then
central air is. It is also still cool at night because we are far
enough north, and at 4000 feet, the other night it was down to the low
60's, so the house gets really cool in the morning as a starting point.
