Just...no...
Here it comes. We've been pretty lucky actually, despite all my complaining about it being hot here. Temps hover between 90 to 98 most days, which is bareable (uncomfortable but doable). It's been a few weeks where we've had sweltering weather, but that's all about to change.
Everyone is watching the news and the predicted temps keep climbing and climbing. On Monday, our weekend high was supposed to be 105--now it's 107. We're all wondering if we'll break that 110 mark, maybe even 112.
Not that I'd like to see that happen. I'd prefer it to be 80 degrees in the summer and just stay there. The hottest I ever remember it being here is 117--and I wasn't exactly at home. I was in LA when my grandma told us over the phone. My family was pretty happy we were there (where it was like 98) and not back home.
Needless to say, I don't plan on leaving my house at all this weekend. Hopefully the airconditioner doesn't crap out on us (my greatest fear).

If, it's any consolation, about six years ago, back when I was in the fifth grade, we had a summer drought that spanned an entire month, leading to temperatures exceeding 120 degrees fahrenheit. We, my class and I, were forced to stand out there for a week for misbehaving. Thirty minutes of standing out on the blacktop during recess, all because we talked without raising our hands.
...I really hated elementary school. And middle school. I like high school though. Well, I liked it up until I, along with two of my friends was jumped by a gang for no reason other than waiting for my ride home. That sucked.
