Does anybody else suffer physically and mentally during a heatwave or is it just me?
Monday I had jury duty, I had to take a bus to a town that is about 25 miles from where I live. I'm in the Northeast and we are in the grip of a horrible heatwave. I moved away from Georgia, because the heat there made me sick. When I left the court house Monday after the stupid jury duty which no court case happened, no witnesses showed up (too ******* hot, I wouldn't!!) I had to walk several blocks (which I am used to walking but not in UNGODLY HEAT!!) The sun was pounding down on the sidewalks and pavement and all the traffic seemed so loud and it was so god damned hot, I felt like I was going to collapse!! I literally felt physically and mentally ill. It seemed like it wasn't affecting anybody around me. People with their kids were walking around in this ******* heat like, so what? Taking photos and acting like they were in ******* Disneyland. I've never used the "F" word before so now you know what state of mind I'm in. I walked two to three blocks in hot blazing 100 degree plus heat (F)and I thought I would die. People acted like they didn't give a ****. If I had collapsed I don't think people would have given a damn. I finally got to the terminal and it was air conditioned (thank God). When I got home I felt physically ill. Our apartment was so hot and stuffy and my husband is sitting in the living room having a beer and acting like...."what??". IT'S HOT AS ******* HELL HERE AND OUR APARTMENT IS STUFFY AS HELL! Thank God our bedroom has an air conditioner and I went in there and collapsed and fell asleep. I slept for hours. I had the AC on plus a box fan blowing on me. I thought I was through with menopause. I am 57 years old normally not such an , but this heat is trying my patience. I refuse to go in my garden anymore, my poor flowers need attention, I refuse to walk in this heat, (we don't have a car) we're poor as dirt on a fixed income. My husband and I both live off of $700/ month. I dare anyone else to live off of that!! We either have to walk to the store which is about 2 miles away (which I don't mind when the weather is cool). We walk almost everywhere. But I'm physically and mentally fed up with this heatwave and I feel like I want to lash out at everybody like a rabid dog. What the hell is going on with me. I can't find any answers on the internet. Also, my husband never defends me if a neighbor in our apartment building starts haring me. It makes me so angry. I wish I had married a Marine! I'm tired of my husband not having a "set of "!! He just sits there like a stupid moron.Like he's afraid of confronting anyone. Our neighbors have stolen stuff from us. They let their dog trample my flowers in my small garden. He doesn't say anything to those people, I"M THE ONE that has to say something. I hate him for NOT defending me. I feel he doesn't love me, because if he did, he would stand up for me! What in God's name is wrong with me, tonight I'm so angry I feel like throwing things and screaming. It's so ******* hot I have to stay in the air conditioned bedroom and take anxiety pills to help me "maintain an even strain". I'm sick of all of this, the ******* heat, a stupid husband, being poor, the oil spill, our planet dying and stupid neighbors. Anybody ever felt this way or is it just me???
