I know I said I wasn’t going to complain, but this is ridiculous! I didn’t move to California for heat coupled with high humidity! It rained here today which just added to the heaviness in the air. Went outside around 3 pm and came back in barely able to breathe along with chest pains. I was fine once I was in the a/c for a few minutes. Then had the same problem when I got home where the house felt like an oven. Both Patrick and I were gone all day and we didn’t leave any of the a/c’s on…big mistake. Will have to change that for the rest of the week since nothing is supposed to change much until early next week. I dread heading to Phoenix in 1-1/2 weeks where it’s even worse. Think I’ll bring along some playing cards since I have no desire to do anything that involves being outside, other than the already planned-for activities. Thankfully they will all be held indoors!

Going to go take a dip in the pool. Patrick says the pool temp is 84 degrees, so it should feel great! For the first time in a long time, I’m grateful to have this pool!
