I'm going to do my best to get an AC for summer proper. It had only ought to be awful tomorrow and then cool back down where I'll be okay.

We have to be a bit cautious on AC units-we blow fuses frequently if we do too many. However, I casually mentioned it to the fam earlier tonight (while trying not to just shout about it) and was told that my room would be one for AC. So this is a good thing. My BF gave us a unit at the end of last summer that we can use (is he a keeper or what? )

I'm just going to lie low tomorrow - wish me luck. Might see if we can go to the movies. Plenty cool there! I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the encouragement--I just feel surprisingly awful. It's always been hot, we've always had no AC but apparently now, whatever is wrong with me (since we don't know for sure) means I don't tolerate it like I used to.

So happy I found you all!

I really feel for you. I feel the heat terribly, and I don't perspire - I just go red in the face and cook from the inside out. When it gets too bad, and I have no access to air-conditioning, sometimes spraying myself with water and sitting in front of a normal fan helps me heaps.

Anything that reduces your core temperature will help you to regain neurological function.

I am so sorry - I know what it's like to turn to jelly and have your brain turn to fog and marshmallow cream when the heat is on.

Put a bowl of ice in front of a fan and blow it on yourself. I
remember that works too. Or get some cooling scarves/
bands, wet them, put them in the freezer for awhile and
wrap them around your neck/wrists.
