In lighter news, after I left my psych this afternoon, I saw an interesting church nearby and decided, despite it being an oven out there, to pause for some photo taking.
Yeah, Ms. "OMG these hot flashes are destroying me!" goes and spends 10 mins shooting during which time, not only did her iPhone start to overheat, but...why yes, a hot flash surged through her bones.
I'm one smart cookie, yes sir I is. But, I took some cool shots! 😂
@see_the_sus Nice! That overheating phone thing is a pain but the hot flashes are worse!
The overheating phone was a totally new thing to me. I've never had that happen before, not even during all the road trips I've taken. About a week ago I stopped using the mag phone holder on my car because I noticed how hot the phone would be when I picked it off there, though at that point it wasn't showing the "ACK I'M MELTING!" alert.
@see_the_sus yep. I’ve been dumb and taken mine to the beach when traveling and same thing happens but it’s been happening here whenever I’m outside this week
I'm guessing it's only going to keep getting hotter this month?
Don't have A/C. Only have swamp cooler. It's fixed, but it sucks and doesn't actually cool anything down until 4 AM-ish most nights. Any other time, it just blows hot air around.
@XaoslordErie ugh. There’s going to come a point where those don’t work anywhere. @see_the_sus
The swamp cooler here is abysmal at best, even on a good day.
Having had such limited experience with them, I didn't realize the limitations when the temps get so damn hot. Which is why, I just chucked over money to get some window shade cling film. yay, love spending money on unfun stuff. 😖
@see_the_sus hopefully it helps though! @XaoslordErie
My main area of concern is my office, which faces west, cause even with the blackout curtains, it's still getting too warm in here.
Smitty loves snoozing in the living room atop the tower since it's up against the east-facing window but I've already told him that I'll be toning down the heat from that window too. LOL
Sorry, that's what I meant. I have a tendency to use them interchangeably and I knew you'd know what I meant.
No worries.
@see_the_sus so far it looks like it’s holding steady in the high 90’s to low 100’s on the forecast for highs. I was really hoping we would see some rain in the next few days. Clouds but nothing.
oh oh!!! I got a rain alert on my phone!!! Granted, it ended with "rain will be light." 😒
@see_the_sus same and nada
They tease us so viciously!! 😭
No rain here, either, not for next 10 days, but then, we hardly get any rain at all anyway.
