Currently 81 in coastal NC. Not dropping much overnight. Next week hotter--highs up to 96. We keep the AC at 73 or so, use ceiling fans...not too bad. Will get more humid later in summer; not our favorite time of year.
peaceful, easy feeling
So sorry, IL. Hope you feel better soon!
Yesterday was lovely here, and I got all my recently purchased plants in the ground (again, lol). We got our two a/c units in place, so we are ready for the extreme heat predicted for today and Tuesday.
So sorry you are sick, IL. Wishing you a quick recovery.

Parts of our town had a power outage for several hours yesterday. I felt really bad for those affected because it was so hot, and it must have been pretty miserable to not even be able to run a fan. We are fortunate to seldom have outages, and when they happen, they are almost always very brief. We think it might have something to do with us being so close to the public safety building, like maybe our section of the grid is high priority or something.
I think— don’t want to speak too soon about this – that I’ve reached the age where I start to get chilled and so our upstairs which is not as cool as the downstairs did not seem crazy uncomfortable last night. In past years, I’ve turned on a fan, but I haven’t used it yet. our air-conditioning is vented upstairs, but it’s just less efficient.
we have a mini split in our sunroom that keeps up very nicely with the heat.

According to my car, we hit 100 around 3 pm. Fans still going, soaked the puppy while watering the gardens just a bit ago. Otherwise, it has been a slow, non-moving day. One down and I believe/hope, two to go.
Stay hydrated and safe, everyone.

okay---I been telling myself it's been hot, hot, hot. But guess what? I don't think Zurra is any hottern it is any other year; what the deal is, is that I'm getting soft and on account of getting old. <<<the propaganda against OLD people being vulnerable to everything has crept up on me. See? But yeah---if it'll drop down well into the 80's, that'd be greeeaaat. Yup. Just gotta cope.
Been near 100 degrees for way too long but a storm is supposed to pass through and drop temps tomorrow into the high 70's... supposedly. One day of cooler temps is better than none, I guess.
Tired of the heat AND the rain - I really don't like saunas. things are trying to mold on the patio, and there's some mildew trying to take hold in the house. ARG. At least today's rain brought cooler temps! Spent last week and a half in New England/Maine and other than two days of over 85 degrees, it was cooler than here in Ohio. AND not as much rain, lol. (Managed to spend two days on Laurel Lake, rr, so was thinking of you, lol!) We have only AC in two upstairs bedrooms where I do not sleep. I have a fan hooked up on exhaust in our back stairwell window, and that helps a lot. Downstairs we have two tower fans, and the kitchen has a ceiling fan. Ceilings are high - which is also a great help in the summer. Not so much in winter, lol.
