I did the cleaning today, despite being hot and humid. While cleaning I had constantly wiped myself off with a towel and drank a lot of cold water. I'm glad to have been able to do the job.
I haven't slept well because it's been so dang hot! Also there's soreness in my upper arm. Perhaps I might have pulled something in the middle of the night. Because it's hard to toss-and-turn in bed with being so warm and humid. It's all got me to not feeling so well emotionally. |

Thank you for saying I’m brave because I often feel chicken! 🐓 I don’t mind solitude at times because I can regroup and reflect. But not ALL the time. And it’s getting old. I have a pair of dress shoes I never wore even once. I never fathomed that in decades I wouldn’t be going out at all. I have a few women acquaintances in both groups but no friends. Friendships take effort and most people lack the emotional maturity to invest in it. Hey why don’t you come here? Anyway there’s women there I try to avoid, one other man too. The old geezers are around at that place. I wish I could find a better place, even a better book club. But it’s walking distance from home so it’s convenient. But not great. ——— Sent from my iPhone __________________ Call me "owl" for short! Hmmm....looks like some good tips in here. "Okay, enough photos.

Quote from Nonightowl --->"Do you have an ac at all?
I have what appears to be a box A/C. I've never used it. I never felt the need to use it because, like you, I feel like it would be costly. And I just hate air conditioning anyways. Whenever it's really hot and humid, if I go into a supermarket, it feels nice and cool inside. But then it feels brutal when I go out. I feel like I can wether not having an A/C running. I grew up that way. |

Will and Tabby I hear you. I never got a stand alone because it needs to vent and it could be noisy. And I don’t have anyone around anymore who could help me select the right model and install it for me. I use fans and open my window. I wear earplugs but still hear garage noise like cars and people walking by. And I get the glare from the bright security lights.
If I’m really suffering I run it on energy saving mode and no more than 2 hours. Since nobody checks on me I’ll do it if I can’t tolerate it. Years ago I ran it for 4 hours straight for 4 days. When I got my bill I never did it again. It just cools the room, not the whole apartment. My bathroom and bedroom is hot as hell. The wall unit uses a lot of energy to cool one room. Wow Will I grew up that way too. We are of the same generation. My parents were always penny pinching and they said we couldn’t afford ac in the house nor in our cars. So I have a high tolerance for heat even if I hate it. I think it’s better to have a consistent temperature throughout my apartment than have it hot in the bedroom and cool in the living room. I was going to try sleeping on my sofa and running the ac, but it’s not nearly as comfortable as my bed. And I’m not too crazy about ac either. When I was in high school I remember a classmate saying he didn’t like ac because it’s an unnatural cool. 45 years later I still remember that. He’s right. It’s hard to get it just right so it doesn’t feel like the North-Pole. Sometimes it’s TOO cold like at the library or the bus. I was at the grocery store this morning and it felt good, just right. My gym is cool too but like you said, it’s a shock to walk outside afterwards. I never made it to the gym Thursday and yesterday I went in the morning. Not my routine but it’s too hot to go in the afternoon. The manager sent an email telling us to stay hydrated and careful during this extended heatwave. That was weird because that NEVER happened before! And we have had heat waves before but maybe not this extreme in years. Still I’m skeptical they really care. Are they going to pay my electric bill? Great to have someone to talk to about it. Supposedly one more day, Monday, and it will start cooling. The ONLY good thing is that the neighbors are quiet. Not even that little girl is riding her scooter and screaming. ——— Sent from my iPhone __________________ Call me "owl" for short! Hmmm....looks like some good tips in here. "Okay, enough photos.

Anyone have a ceiling fan? I just remembered that they are supposed to be helpful in drawing heat up or down, depending on the direction. The newer tenants have them but I don’t. I don’t even have a ceiling fixture in the bedroom and my bed would need to be moved if they had to work in here. And I don’t want to be bothered. Both the manager and one of the maintenance guys have been snarky.

We'll get through this! After all, it's happened for us before. Pretty soon it will only be a fleeting memory. |

I just want to sleep the days away. I feel emotionally homeless, like there is no safe, gentle place for my poor heart to rest. This heart is worn out as hell. It seems that all the effort I've put into being graciously gentle to people during their bad days means absolutely nothing. Just feeling really thrown away and broken now.
