I was outside doing something for about 15 minutes and my clothes were drenched as if I'd been swimming. We were supposed to get rain yesterday that was to bring cooler temps but it went north of us so we're still mid to upper 90s with heat index around 103° with more to come this week. 

Our electric bill for July is $209 and everytime we go outside we get swamp [BLEEP]. So ready for winter. A nice cold winter. With snow. Yes....I like it.

Snow? Easy now, Missy. Let's not overreact here. 

This weather reminds me of a summer we lived in an old Kansas farmhouse. It was ungodly hot. I had been through lots of other Kansas summers without air conditioning but this one was brutal. I remember the bank sign in town showing 112° and discussing with my brother the inability to completely slake our thirst. No matter how much water we drank we were always thirsty. There's no way I could survive that now. I've become too accustomed to the pampered life of air conditioning.
