not to prove you wrong, infamous, but we live south of the mason dixon and our apartment is like a locker room lately. second floor, los angeles, big windows, no insulation, no cross-ventilation, and freakish, end of the world, inconvenient truth style weather. we don’t know what to do, so we crankily drive the 2 blocks to the cheap movie theater and sit there, or we give praises to the gods of the public transportation being freezing (waiting for the transit to arrive, however, is like a humid, stinky, hell). where i’m interning used to be a sweatshop, so needless to say, no a/c there either. and my church’s is about to go kaput.

damn you, global warming! damn you, pollution!

but still, i have major sympathy for you as a pregnant lady with a whole extra baby’s worth of sweaty. stick your feet in ice!

i found this site that said yesterday’s official high was 97, setting a record of course. The normal high temp for yesterday, San Francisco?

71 degrees.

that’s the weirdest part of going north of the mason/dixon line for me. the idea of non-central air & heat is just beyond me. i’m hoping to find a bizarrely modern & still charming and inexpensive apt in boston. what do you think my odds are?

i hope it gets better soon. the idea of living in the tub sounds good.

with a/c the temp. sucks. i’ve been without before and you kinda want to live in the bathtub all day. i can’t imagine being pregnant without ac, though. you’re definetly a stonger woman than me. power’s been going out here, too.

Hey it is Okay to whine all you want at your stage of pregnancy. I have been whining when it hit 80 the other day. It just feels 10 degrees hotter when you are prego. I used to be grumpy all the time. I lived for winter in Texas… all 7 days of it. At least I am being given some reprieve here at the northern tip of Scotland. I am feelin’ for ya though. Especially with no a/c. What’s up with all this heat wave crap!!

I’ve mentioned in previous posts that we don’t have AC. i didn’t want to sound like I was whining. Well, not TOO much.

Kristen forgot to mention that people in San Francisco don’t have air conditioners - so when it’s 95 degrees outside, it’s even hotter inside.

People in our neighborhood have been rushed to the hospital and whole grids in area cities have lost power.

San Francisco isn’t prepared for weather like this.

Well, I have sympathy for you. I remember those horribly hot Texas summer days, where I just did not want to be outside. Just to walk outdoors was sweaty work.

By the way, where is my sweater…? It’s a little chilly out right now. (GRIN)
