For the record..
Jul. 17th, 2013 08:39 amThis heat wave can FOAD.
Yes, I have AC, but a) it costs a lot of money to run an ac unit continuously to keep the temps under 80 when it's 95+ outside [and only cools down to around 75 at night] and b) by the third day the air quality when it's this hot and still is, in a word, sucky.
And yes, I have places I can work where someone else is paying for the AC, but I can usually only stand to be there 2-3 hours before I have the need to get up and do something else [I tend to break my day up into 2-3 hours of work, the an hour of not-work chores, then work again]. And once you go to the library or a cafe, doing something else becomes more complicated (and leaving = dying of the heat the moment I step outside).
Also: CatofSize's need for constant company is starting to fray my nerves. I love him, and I'm willing to stop and cuddle, but he needs to SHUSH while mom's working....
