And now to briefly talk about how miserably bad the heat is.

It is very very bad. Everything I wore yesterday has to be dry cleaned today, eventhough I wore the shirt and coat for only a few hours, mostly in AC inside -- otherwise I wa sin shorts and a tank top all day. Just the walk to the subway is gruelling, despite the illusion that this is all manageable if you stay in the shade. One day was hard, the fact that we have esentially 48 more hours of this before it drops back to merely feeling like the high 90s (ha) seems impossible.

It's so hot, that I, who really hate summer clothes and am often unhappy about wearing dresses will probably wear nothing more than a blackslip dress today. it's intolerable.

Ugh. Just, ugh.

How are you doing?

[sykii.livejournal.com]

Generally wilting.
Trying not to develop a headache before 2pm voice lesson and evening with family.

Ugh. It breaks this weekend. How's your Friday look?

[sykii.livejournal.com]

Reasonably clear, I think.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Let's do something. I don't know what, but let's.

We got an incredible break last night after 3 weeks of 95+ and nearing 100 degree temps, so that at least is moving your way.

I actually woke up this morning a little chilly with the windows open, under a quilt. It was surreal to say the least considering not 48 hours ago the heat index was 112.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yeah yesterday ours was 118. They say today will be worse than yesterday tomorrow a little better and then on Friday it'll be back down to 83.

Goodness, and I didn't think you ever wore shorts.

Our power went in the middle of the night. That was fun.

I don't. I rolled up my Snape trousers to above my knee and safetypinned the cuffs in. That's an image, right?

It is bad, isn't it? I'm staying indoors today. All day. Thank God for my AC.

[affreca.livejournal.com]

Thankfully today isn't as bad, I'm tempted to open the windows and let in fresh air. We might even get rain tonight. Though I'm loving the new house and housewide AC, instead of just in the bedroom.

[genders.livejournal.com]

I just invited sykii to your house to try to get some AC.

I'm worrried about my family, and about all of you.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Except we don't have AC.

[genders.livejournal.com]

I missed the post about how you did not resolve the stupid screw window guard problem.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yeah. So we have an AC we can't use. Its horrid.

[miep.livejournal.com]

just put it on a table in front of the open window and sit in front of it. as long as the hot air can go somewhere, it's better than nothing.

[rm.livejournal.com]

That doesn't really work. Water EVERYWHERE.

[roadnotes.livejournal.com]

Rolling brownouts in Brooklyn last night. I'm off to Tarrytown for the work retreat; Soren is staying in the airconditioning, and not doing anything he doesn't have to.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Shit. Brownouts are not a happy sign. Tarrytown should be marginally better I suppose.

Even Auntie Beeb has taken notice:
