Well, it's the opposite. I'm in the West and my sister is in the East coast. However, that's where I came from originally, the East coast. My sister told me that the heat was unbearable for a while last month there. When I lived there, July was really bad for heat, humidity, and bad air. So glad I am not there anymore.

For me, as of now, I'm still dealing with the heat. When I got out of bed, it was a little bit cool which was nice. But a half hour later, I started to sweat. Lately it seems like this section has been a support for those who are going through a heat wave. Kind of reminds me of the holidays when we need support because we're either alone or having a bad time.

And I really do get depressed on these kind of hot days. I don't sleep well and not feel great. It's equivalent to getting into something that's not working out well and being hollered at constantly.

I guess I recalled it wrong, lol. It was months ago at least and I thought you said you were in the Boston area. I guess it was that you were FROM that area.

It was okay when I got up, as the air finally cooled to 75 degrees, but it started warming up fast. I was up late again and I dreaded going to bed.

I like that your thread is moving and it feels supportive and interactive.

I used to have 3 "check-in" threads in my subscriptions, from 3 different forums. But only one of them had people posting in them. I don't know why nobody posts in the other 2. There are multiple threads on things like what are you feeling or thinking about, and I don't know which one to follow.
Or post in?

I had to pick up a ticket for that friendship mixer at the senior center and I decided to jump on the computer for a bit. Nice and cool here, but walking outside is going to kill me. It turns out there is no waiting list and the newsletter was wrong, which it often is. So I'll be going to the one on 9/26 Thursday. There's 35 people already on the list.

I can relate to putting effort into giving to people and it isn't reciprocated. So I know how that feels.
