We've pretty much stayed in today but it doesn't seem to be bothering us any.

We've spent quite a bit of time outside this summer so no cabin fever yet.

We do have a good air system here.

Thank God for that and plenty of cold drinks.

I did have to run the mailman down today and wait in the car but my car thermometer only said 83 degrees.

We washed our couch covers and put them out to dry and that didn't take long at all.

According to Internet search our outside temp is 101.

How is everyone doing are you staying cool?

Thank God Spring is here : )

Oh man Damsel! We've had 90's and humidity the past few days, it's been a hot week. I adore going outside to sweat only to come in and freeze with the a/c Smile

I spent the day in my bedroom with the air-conditioner on full blast watching Netflix. That's how I dealt with it!!!

I found myself very irritable though.

I think it is about a million degrees here with 90% humidity.. It is the humidity that is so hard to take. I am trying to do all my outdoor chores in the morning. Evenings may be better overall but by then I am a lazy bum. I SO wish I had a pool!!! I would sit in it all day.

Then you would be a french fry Anna.. that wouldn't be good!

Today isn't so bad here, not so good, but not as bad as yesterday. They are talking about rain showers tomorrow. Good thing the place I'm having my sale at has a roof over it.

I wish you all the luck at that sale tomorrow Silly.

It has dipped down by at least 10 degrees still close to 90.

Still hot but I think if people without air or the homeless.

It has to be difficult enough without extreme weather conditions.

Well, we stay in for the most part. It's been 105-110 degrees here the past several days. No rain for weeks. We are in a horrible drought and the dust is awful. I feel like we are in the desert, only not cold at night either. Thank God for A/C. Our truck has air conditioning BUT we went to eat chinese today about 30 minutes away and my panic was almost over the top with the heat because the a/c just wasn't doing good at all and the trucks thermometer gauge was steadily going up. I was scared but did ok thankfully. Anyway..wish we had a pool. I really want to go swimming. As soon as I get this cast off I'm going to find a swimming hole. LOL
