It’s Getting Hot Out Here….

…..So make sure you’re staying hydrated. Lol, I bet some of you thought I was going to start singing Nelly’s song. It’ll probably wind up stuck in my head now, though. But anyway, stay hydrated regardless, but especially if it’s feeling like an oven out there. As for Maryland, our real feel is 100 degrees, and it’s going to be the same tomorrow. The owners of the local coffee shop rented portable air conditioners until the cafe’s a/c is fixed, and I think they’re working well. And thank God we have our a/c in at home. Speaking of which, I’ve probably been at the coffee shop since a little after 10ish, and to be honest, I’m a little frustrated that it’s already the afternoon. I didn’t get to bed as early as I had hoped last night because I was looking for something, and then I had trouble getting my eyes to stay open this morning. *Sigh* I have a writing order due in a few hours, but once I post this and shift my focus over to my work, it shouldn’t take long. We’ll play anything I do after that writing order by ear. It’s supposed to storm later this evening, so I doubt I’m going anywhere. I’m not even sure if I WANT to go anywhere. I don’t know or care; I’m just going to focus on my writing order, and I’ll worry about everything else later. Alrighty, I need to shift my focus to my work. I’m still tired, but oh well. Hopefully, my Adderall kicks in soon. Admittedly, I do have a coffee that also needs to kick in. But I also have ice water, and that might help me feel more awake. I hope everyone has a great day. Stay safe and take care, especially if the weather is doing too much right now.

It was. The real feel was 100 degrees. Thankfully, I was in air conditioning for the most part.

@tammys85 The real feel would kill me I would need to be beside a fan and with the A/C on I don't do well in buildings with A/C It's a strange atmosphere to breathe properly

It is extremely hot here too as we are getting record highs. I’m guzzling water like crazy as I’m sure others are as well. I hope you have a great day!

I keep doing things in the evening too, then going to bed late and being tired next day. And each time I say 'Must go to bed earlier tonight...' What sort of writing do you do?

I've been trying to fix my sleep schedule, but my blind senior dog needs to go out at times, so I have to take her out. She has puppy pads for accidents, but refuses to pee in the house because that's not how she was trained. Ghostwriting mostly; I write for clients and they put their names on it. But it's usually for things like HVAC, home living, shopping, etc., so nothing I'm attached to that I NEED my name on. I was published on FinanceBuzz last year, though, and I have my name on that.

@tammys85 Oh well done! Sorry about your dog; it's hard watching animals get old just like the rest of us. What's HVAC?

Ugh, I'm sorry. Ours is always expensive because the company just sucks. They wanna charge an arm and a leg but then it takes forever to fix when people lose power. How are you holding up in the weather?

It was really hot out here in the afternoon. I had to wear a wide brimmed hat. The sun is going down now..it's around 6.37pm here

So, how are wide-brimmed hats? I thought of getting one. I do have a bucket hat. The issue is, I wear my hair up (it's thick), but it might work for milder weather or shorter walks.
