We're melting...

Yes, we are definitely feeling like the Wicked Witch of the West. We are totally melting in this nasty, record-breaking humidity and heat. Even with 2 air conditioners running in our house, the humidity manages to seep in. The dew point (which measures how much moisture is in the air) is in the mid-70s--anything above 60 is considered highly uncomfortable. Add to that, high 90 degree temperatures and it's downright dangerous.

The bad news?
It's supposed to be worse tomorrow.

The good news?

I have never seen that happen in all my 13 years in CT. The ironic thing is that Brad's school is one of the measly 18% of public schools in CT that actually have air-conditioning. And even his school, which blasts the AC until it is sub-arctic, is struggling to keep the temperature inside at an acceptable level. So yep, he got to come home early today. And probably tomorrow, too.

You know, I wish someone had warned me 13 years ago when I was first deciding to move to CT that the summers here are FAR worse than the winters. You do NOT want to get near me on a day like today. I am a raging, cranky, irritable bitch. Hey, at least I'm not pregnant. I'm not going through THAT again in a summer like this!
