@Halcyon I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. Last year in Portland, we survived several days with temperatures up to 117 F... in a house with no insulation, and no air conditioning. I assume it will be a scorcher again this year, so I'm stocking up on box fans, and for when I absolutely must go out, I've ordered one of those portable fans people wear around their necks. I hear they really help. If you don't have one, you might consider getting one.
