I feel you. Where are you located, if you don't mind my asking?
Miami is insanely hot. High temperatures and high humidity? Frosty Paws has been melting here for weeks. (Frosty Paws was a nickname I had during my 10 years at Whole Foods.)

That's why I could never live in Florida. I hate hot weather. And also hurricanes. Only time I've ever been down there is to see Marlins and Rays games.
I guess if the Rays ever get off their ass and build a decent stadium I will be back for that as well.
I remember last summer, Hurricane Ian hit like the day after I flew home from my last vacation (Philadelphia). I admit I felt a bit guilty for just thinking how lucky I was that I dodged that bullet.

We live in a small city in the Greater Houston Metro area--just south and slightly west of Houston. In all the years I've lived here, I don't ever remember it being this hot for this long. This past month was the hottest July ever in the area's history.
Climate change is really having an impact this year. I can’t wait for it to cool down.
My wife showed me something a couple weeks ago about how we've gone from Global Warming to Global Boiling.
Whether it was a joke meme or not, it certainly feels accurate.

I don't think it was a joke. It comes from a speech by the secretary-general of the United Nations, discussing climate change, and the fact that July 2023 was (technically "was on track to be" at the time of the speech) the hottest month ever recorded in human history.

hottest July on record here, too. Plus a major draught: from New Year to July 31st my town had 6 (!) days with rain and a mere 4 inches of snow all winter.
Now we had 3 days with torrential rain in a row. No floods in my area, apart from my brother's place being soaked by a leaking roof just on his birthday, but in Southern and Eastern Europe the situation is dramatic. There are landslides and floods. In Asia, too, from what we hear in the news.
Compared to that my personal argh-experience is negligable: I'm fighting anxiety fits (accidentially got retraumatized) plus made the mistake to drink 2 comforting pots of Indian tea so that I didn't sleep a wink all night, due to the caffeine flush.
Morale: in future I'll buy only decaffeinated tea. Almost blasphemic, I know, but better than no tea at all.

Yuck. Get well. COVID is back. Everyone will get sick within the next couple of weeks with kids back in school.Being sick.
Being over 50 and not being able to remember a fucking thing.
And, also, not being able to remember a fucking thing.
And something else. But I forgot what that was.

Feel well soon. Hope you kick the cold/flu/whatever it is in the ass.
Better than the plague.
Of course, I had finished a binge watch of ReGenesis right before the pandemic started. Totally freaked me out. It didn't help that I watched Sky News a lot at that time.

Also get into gambling and eye a potential sale to Apple.
I hate colds in summer. At least if I get a cold in winter I can try to hibernate under the covers. {{{hug}}}
Why do busses have to have the loudest and most annoying sounding engines on Earth?
wrong country, Maik. In Central Europe, buses are very quiet. What is really noisy over here is the people who use 4 wheel drive in town because they are too lazy or too stupid to switch it off. And the "posers" who think driving in lowest gear with maximum speed is cool because the motor screams (in pain, the poor thing!). I bet they feel very hot instead when they see their gas bill

Wrecked my damn knee. Something just snapped, out of the blue. Can barely walk. I already had a doctor's appointment scheduled for Wednesday. Now I have to weigh trying to get into the GP (which is usually impossible) or pay a huge fee for the ER ...or just wait to see if it improves.
