Very Hot Day

This is August in Wisconsin. The temp right now is 88F but heat index is at 96. Stepping outside is like stepping into a sauna. Coming into the apartment this morning was almost as bad as outside. It was hot and sticky in here. My son called and needed to do something, so left to pick him up at the house and it was hotter when I left here than it was when I came just a couple hours earlier. Instead of coming back to the apartment, I got more packing done and tried to get things organized. The tornado is starting to take some semblance of order, not much, but it's a start. The plan is to move completely on Saturday. Checking the forecast it's supposed to be slightly cooler, not much, but the humidity is supposed to be higher, so we could still be looking at a heat index similar to today. Right now I need a break so came back to the apartment for a couple hours. I have church tonight, so I won't be here very long and my son works tonight, so I won't be back until tomorrow morning. When my son was here earlier I had him take care of the air conditioner. I can't reach it. So it is now putting some nice cool air into the apartment, which I can thankfully feel in my office. I also brought my office chair this morning, and am comfortable for the first time since I got the computer set up. The stool I was using was very uncomfortable. So anyway, that's what's happening here. The sun is shining, there are clouds and a slight breeze, but you wouldn't know it stepping outside. How has your day been? I will get to as many notifications as I can before I need to leave. Thanks for reading.

Makes it hard to breathe when the humidity climbs as high as the thermometer. I hope it's nicer for you today.

Things are gradually coming together for you, and it's good that you got your a/c working.

I had it on for two days and then had to shut it off. Way too cold in here. It's cooled down outside a few degrees so it isn't necessary now.

When does everyone have to be moved out of the house. Did your son and grandson find places to live?

August 30. My son is going to stay with his girlfriend. He's also going back and forth about applying here. My grandson has a place that I am aware of.

It was nice to be cool. Since, it's cooled off and I haven't needed the A/C.

You are as warm as we are here in SoCal. I was in Green Bay once. So see the Packers stadium of course.

Preseason starts tonight for us. Hall of Fame game against the Indianapolis Colts. I don't know if I'll get to see it, but I have it on the DVR so I can watch it tomorrow if I can't tonight.

It turned out not to be on the books to move this past weekend. It's going to wait now until my son returns from Boston. He'll be gone for a week starting this coming Saturday.

Same here, sometimes it reaches up to 100 - 120F plus the humidity also. Even the AC cannot tolerate the heat, we thought our AC is broken but the technician said its not the AC its the weather.

Those are really high temps. I hope you have a way to stay cool if it's too much for your A/C.

Yeah, hot and very humid here, too, Valerie! Knock on wood, I don't turn my air conditioner off for any reason, but we did have a power outage yesterday... so whether I liked it or not (I didn't!) my air conditioner was shut down for quite a while! That wasn't even the bad thing that happened, either. I use a CPAP machine to sleep.... When the power shut off, it was 5 am, so I was sleeping when suddenly I couldn't breathe! I woke up gasping for air, yanking the mask off so I could breathe! What a wake-up call that was! I couldn't go back to sleep without it, either! LOL!

@just4him Well, thank you! I will very carefully never tell you when my demise will be so it is never written into your calendar, hon! I don't want another wake-up call like that one again!

Oh my! That is horrible! I hope there won't be anymore of those. I don't want to hear about anything bad happening to you. Your demise is not written in my calendar and won't be.

I'm keeping the water bottle right on my table here. Hopefully when we do get this move scheduled in a couple weeks, it won't be hot or humid. However, this is August and that is wishful thinking.

You'd be bored any other way. I only needed the A/C for a couple days. It's been nice enough since not to need it.
