Someone's got a case of the Mondays!

I am of the opinion that when it is 102 and your a/c-equivalent is on the fritz, it's a bad idea to do things that use energy and could add heat to the house. Like washing clothes. Instead, go soak your head, literally-- you know, get your hair wet so you'll cool off.

have at least one portable fan in the house that you can sit in front of on really hot days. As Becky says, this is really the only acceptable use of electricity on a hot day!

and lots of easily accessible cold clear drinks.

I was out yesterday visiting a friend who does not have A/C either and when I got home our house was even hotter than hers. I had to go down into the basement and stay there the rest of the day. I drank buckets of water and I'm still dealing with a mild case of heat exhaustion. Tired, retaining water, needing to nap is the extent of it, but I'm worried. I tend to get heat exhaustion that lands me in the ER.

Thank heaven it's blissfully cool in the basement, otherwise I'd be forced to compete with other heat-stressed citizens in the Metro area for the last of the window airconditioners on the shelves of the hardware store. Two people came to blows over the last one in stock the summer before. (It's not the heat, it's the stupidity.)

I've got all manner of things I really, really need to be doing upstairs, but simply cannot as long as the heat wave lasts. I am getting to watch some movies that I've not seen in a while, though as a result...laughed out loud last night watching Return to Me, one of my very favorite romantic comedies. Must watch again tonight with the Dirctor's commentary--love that Bonnie Hunt.

My AC went out last week. And it has been 102 all last week and was HOT in here! With no way to cool it down by means I had available.

Luckily, inlaws got central air put in over the winter when there heater died, and they let us borrow their swamp cooler until our new AC unit comes in. Much more tolerable. That and the fact that it was only 79 today. LOL!

Hope it cools off there and that everything else today went better, and that you have a better week!

Hope you ended the day better than it began, Lynn.

I realized this evening, THIS is why Hell is rumored to be hot. It's torture. At the committee meeting at church tonight the consensus was that it reached around 112 degrees on some people's thermometers out here, regardless of what they say at the airport.

Whenever I mention church committees I remember the church sign in Bolivar, Missouri that once read,

"For God so loved the world that he did not send a committee."

Amen.
