Texas heat !!

Smiley face sweatingTemperature at elevenCooler than yesterday at this time. ~~ “Hot” outdoors; I’m dripping wet with sweat!! Time to shower and apply my time to an indoor project!!

Closed shadesReluctantly, I closed the shades on the East side of the trailer (early this morning). The heat, through the glass, was unbearable!!

Temperature at fourHouston TV-news meteorologist said (at 4:15) “97 degrees in Livingston.” My thermometer registers 91 degrees, and Internet weather says 92 degrees. Although not expressed as such, I’d say the “feels like” temperature is 97.

Postscript, Wed., June 10, 3:00 AM: I awakened at 2:05–in a pool of perspiration–and could not go back to sleep. Decided to get up and read email messages. I’m running a fan all night (in the living room) but insufficient for the challenge. I despise the thought that I might need to run the A/C all night!! I almost have a heart attack thinking about the electric bill!! I’ve been conservative so far: No A/C until I enter the trailer after mornings spent in the garden (yesterday, 11:00 AM). Long hot summer stretches ahead!!

Postscript to the postscript: 🙂  While reading email, etc., etc., the small thermometer was resting on my pillow. (Inquiring minds want to know!!) Eighty degrees!! IMHO, too hot for comfortable sleeping!!

    Reflectix material, or a cut up reflective windshield shade from Dollar Tree makes a big difference in blocking window heat during the hot parts of the day. I know you hate to give up the view. You could leave a small part so you could still see out.
