Three H's-Hazy, Hot and Humid

Post Reply New Topic

I've been crazy. It drive me nuts and makes me unable to function. All I can do is complain and it upsets and frustrates me so much it makes me want to self harm. I don't actually do it but I get so upset and frustrated I feel like I want to and like it might make me feel a little better.

We got a new air conditioner Saturday but it's one of those ones that sit on the floor and we can't figure out how to install it ourselves so I'm still suffering. I don't even know if it will help once it's in. The old one was 5000 btu and the new one is 8000. I wanted a window one but the ones in the store were too heavy and the one we have is installed wrong as it is.

Someday if our neighbor ever puts a new outlet in for us like he said he would we can have two air conditioners in and maybe then it will be cool in here.

Also I have to sleep with my door closed and can't have an air conditioner in my room because I have awning windows. It's currently 87 in my bedroom.

My son is a mosquito magnet, and he scratches. His arms and legs look like they've been burned with cigarettes. I'm surprised his preschool didn't call DHR on us. And trying to get repellant on him is very challenging because he screams and thrashes and runs away.

Tuscaloosa always seems like the hottest spot in the state, for some reason.

This heat wave is very strange. Usually it's in the 100's here in Texas, but it's has been in the low 90's right now.
I've relatives in Ohio, and it is near 100 degress up there! * what madness is this? *

In Alaska in the summer it stays light waaay late.

Speaking of stir crazy, try having a 3 YO who's whining to go to the park when it's 103 degrees out.

I concur!

The temperature for the last few days here has been pushing ninety. It's not a lot compared to the sort of temperatures that people are getting in other parts of the state (I'm in the mountainous western part of North Carolina), but for this corner of America, it's like the burning tombs in the infernal city of Dis. I had to explain to one of my friends that being out in heat like this makes me pretty much totally unable to function, because of the sensory overload. Not a lot of fun

But, hey, it's supposed to be a little bit cooler this week, and I might get to go with my family inner-tubing on the river. There's nothing more fun than being out on the water when it's pushing ninety, even if the water does just reflect UV radiation onto your skin and burn you as red as an unfortunate beet.

It's so hot, that the outside is a sauna, the pool is a hot tub, and the inside isn't much better.

please this must end. I wish I could fall asleep tonight and set an alarm for october.

So it can wake you up when September ends?

I randomly looked at the weather for Coeur D Alene, ID and it's going to be near 100 over the weekend! I know someone that moved from DC area to there to escape the brutal heat and traffic. I know that Coeur D Alene has very little traffic compared to DC area and that housing is very affordable, but I thought they have beautiful summers similar to Seattle.

Where to escape this heat? It's so sticky out too that the best thing to do is stay indoors in the comfortable AC. But a lot of people still in this area have no power! Pepco is slow, lazy and stupid! Dominion Power which is in VA, can get power back much faster. But a week after a storm that has killed people, still no power? Most problem area is in Montgomery Co Md. Anyone else has had power out but it took the company days?

Me too! I can't wait till fall and to see the leaves change color. My favorite season is fall! I avoid traveling now and just save up my vacation time till Oct.

It's currently 31 C here right now and humid. Blah

You are forgetting the 4th: Hellacious.
