Well,l I hemmed and hawed, and even called in late, before deciding to stay home altogether. Considering I can barely breathe, I just don't think it would be a good idea to sit in that heat today.  My Ashma med didn't do much to help yesterday, so I don't have much faith it would today. My co-worker's mother has severe Ashma, and she ended up in the hospital yesterday. I'm not sure why it's so much worse right now since it's been hotter. Maybe the humidity?  Next week is supposed to be a bit cooler, but I really can't wait till fall.

Cue the neighbor across from me screaming bloody murder, yelling 'help me!' I legit thought she was ill or being attacked and literally had my phone in my hand dialing 911 when I heard her saying things like, "I have to go to work," and "fine, I don't care if you tear the place apart!" And slammed the door as she left -- then I realized she was yelling at the cat that hangs around here (which she happens to be feeding). Sounds like it's happened before, with unpleasant results. I have to be careful myself or he will run into my apartment when I open the door. Luckily, I always have my cane and can use it to shoo him away.

 The weather is horrid. High temps with high humidity. I ended up leaving work a few hours early, because I couldn't breathe and I'm having bad heat cramps again. I'm debating whether to call in tomorrow or not, as it's supposed to be even hotter than today. Unfortunately, with my new position my desk is now in the warehouse not the office, so I spend more of my time in a non-air-conditioned space instead of half and half as I used to.

I wish there was some way to avoid my heat sensitivity. I drink water, Gatorade, Body Armour, and take potassium; I use a cooling cloth and have a fan at my desk, but nothing I do seems to help.

Have you ever had a nice comment on a fic of yours on AO3, and it made you feel glad you don't block guests? It's wonderful!

I know I'm perpetually and chronically behind on entertainment things, so it's not all that surprising I've never heard of Buddy Guy until now - but it's still a sad thing.

The man is 89 this year, and still performing, just put out his 20th album, and it's great. God bless him.

 Just wondering what everyone's plans are, now that censorship is increasing at a breakneck pace. Games have already been impacted, and of course people in the UK have to show ID or let AI determine their age, and that's coming soon to the US as well (YouTube, Spotify, and others are already gearing up for it and even Wikipedia isn't immune).
