It was 70 over night and the house was cooking. I had to oprn all the windows the ac seemed to be going to extremes and I didnt sleep very well and am working today. I hope I stay awake

The only thing I hate about spring weather it never stays consistant. But it sure beats the winter blues.

Storms coming later eeeeek

It's nice here in Maine all week. Will started working nights which is fantastic because we get to go outside and have some sunshine together everyday.

Same here 666 but I would take this over winter any day. I learn to survive on the 4 hours sleep because it is worth it in this weather as apposed to the bleak winter. Hugs

I'm a big time whiner when it is hot. I have window AC's, a new central AC, vents on the roof, and insulation in the attic. I still get hot with all this, of course I live in Hell.

I cant do the extreme cold (except to sleep in then it is wnderful) but I cant do heat either. . .disease and meds havemade it so my internal temp gauge is permanently mucked up

It is starting to get windy so I guess the storms will be here later but the breeze is nice through the window.

I got this covered

Put on light cotton clothing (I usually go with a nightie, you can follow suit)
Then take a freezing cold shower dressed like this

Works!
also- hang wet towel or sheet in front of a fan...evaporates, nice & cool
We have had a unbelievable scorcher of a summer down here, whew.

Good idea Lou! I'll have to do that when it gets nasty around here. In the meantime, anyone up for a wet t-shirt contest?

    I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

    Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner.  I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings.  But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
