Default Ridiculous weather... 90+ degrees nonstop

Okay, I don't want to complain (well not too much anyhow)....but for the last two months the weather here in Southern California has just been out of control.

It's been hot...then for the last week of September and first 10 days of October, it hit 95 to 100+ degrees every day. The other days it's been 90. Oh, yeah, we did have a "Cold front" - where it was high 80s, low 90s. At one point the weather man said it would be 78. It wasn't. It's just wrong that it can still be 85-90 degrees at 9pm. Very wrong!

I guess it reminds me of how thankful I am to have had HiCy - because back in May and June - the heat was not nearly as bad - and it was killing me. I would go outside and by the time I walked down my driveway to get into my car, I lost my vision and vertigo would then kick in....even when I had on a cooling vest, etc. It would take nearly an hour for me to get my body temp back down. Totally insane.

And now? Well, I can be outside and active - doing things. No double vision, no loss of vision, no vertigo. Sometimes, if I'm walking a lot or chasing my 2yo nephew....I will get head-achy, but that's all. I can't believe it. If I hadn't had HiCy and if my symptoms would flare like they were before - I'd seriously be looking into moving. To Alaska. Okay, not Alaska. Definitely not Alaska (sorry, I won't get political here )....

Anyhow - for those of you who suffer/struggle with problems from the heat - I totally feel for you. It's miserable.

Isn't it fall?? It's the END of October. It's getting cruel!

Hpe everyone else is staying cooooool.
