I was going to say that everyone should have the day off, because it's an extreme weather emergency, but I guess some people who don't have A/C at home would get it at work.

Yes definitely—if I had an office I’d go to it!! And may go to the mall or the movies but pandemic makes it all a little more awkward.

Yeah, for a hot summer day in California you need sunscreen. For a hot summer day in New Orleans you need a mop bucket to be wrung into after you melt.

Yes, I can be drenched with sweat just waking from the driveway to inside. Last week when I woke early I thought I would go for a walk since it was only 81, but I opened the door and said nope instantly. Ick.

Yeah its crazy. I’m flying home from Missoula later today and by midweek the forecast has Missoula as a full 20+ degrees warmer than our place in Los Angeles. That’s insane!

Timelies all!

Temperatures here are supposed to be in the mid-to-upper 90s all week.(with high humidity because summer in DC) At least I won't have to be outside much.

Having been through both numerous times, they are both unpleasant and enervating if very different experiences. When the temperature is over 100 degrees there is a different quality to the heat, or so it feels to me. It is nice that evaporative cooling works, though, that part of “dry heat” is a plus.

The Pacific NW heatwave has all my sympathy. I hope everyone there is able to find a space with safe temps to ride it out in.

The Pacific NW is going to get crushed because so many things aren’t designed to be cooled or don’t have AC. I’m at the airport here in Missoula right now and it’s not horrible but it is certainly a warm building right now.

Happy birthday, JZ!

I'm not sure if they're allowed to put in a window unit at their apartment complex.

If not a window unit, maybe a portable unit that only vents out a window? I'd be happy to help if either is a possibility. Thanks for looking out for esse, David!

Sorry about the asshole neighbor, askye.

I'm booking appointments for all the things. I was able to book doctor's appointments to get an annual physical and start working my way through my List of Concerns that I've been putting off due to the pandemic. But I'm having a comical time trying to find a salon that has any availability, although I'm now checking salons my old stylist used to work at and a super queer one has some openings, so I guess I will do some research tonight.

I have appointments for all of the stuff except a mammogram. And the obgyn couldn't fit me in until September. I'm very tired of the stuff.
