Dealing With The Heat

When it comes to our lives I guess at
some point you have to deal with heat.
I thought I wouldn't have to in Western
Washington, however, this weekend it
is not the case.

For the first time we have temperatures

in double digits. We were asked to stay

indoors for the most part because of the

heat and drink water. 

I spent most of my time indoors going 

out once when it was at the highest point,

however, I wasn't out for very long. I

went to my favorite coffee shop which

has air conditioning. I don't have air

conditioning in my place though I do

have a fan which I turned on in the 

middle of the night. Also, I have the

sliding door open for few hours before

the temperatures start rising once again.

It is amazing to have to make adjustments

to our lives under trying circumstances.

Not only heat but for health as well. I 

hope people were careful, however, I 

am sure the hospitals had some people

who couldn't handle the heat and decided

to go out anyway. 

Tuesday the temperatures are supposed 

to decrease back down to normal for 

a time until next weekend when have

double digits happen again. Not as high

as Monday fortunately. 

I wonder if we will have temperatures

like this the rest of the summer or just

for these two weeks. Time will tell

we will see. I was hoping for a family

reunion on July 4th, however, not having

this year. This reunion would have been

mostly second cousins. I look forward

to the reunion next year instead.

I am sure we will all cope with the 

changes whether long or short. All

we must do.
