Probably stay home. The annual fireworks show my city hosts has been cancelled, no day in the park for anyone there. Have heard someone less than a mile away from where I live has purchased $1000 worth of fireworks to have a show so maybe I’ll get to see some. Not supposed to possess fireworks in the city w/o a permit, maybe they got one.

@cherokeepatti Have a great day Patti :)

@Nimbus I will. It’s cooler inside, too hot to be outside for any length of time. I waited too late in the day to go shopping yesterday, it was about 100 F. Here & got dehydrated & had a headache. I prefer 70’s for the highs.

@cherokeepatti I just don't know how you withstand such high temperatures.

I couldn't :)

@Nimbus I feel sick quickly, Nimbus. It’s not just my age or weight but I could work out in when younger because we didn’t have a/c. I would have stomach cramps, turn really bright red, and have to take a shower to cool my body down though. I have fainted from the heat when I was 19 years old and also temporarily went blind one time (which is dangerous because there’s a risk of it causing permanent blindness). People have a tendency to bring me glasses of cold water when they see how red I get, the lady at the tag agency did one time. Last summer on Labor Day Sunday I mowed the yard & got sick, I’d been drinking a lot of cold water & taking breaks & didn’t help. I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital because my heart started up & got nauseous like I was about to go into a heart attack. Someone gave me watermelon with salt, I ate it & the symptoms lessened, ate another slice & was able to get around & have dinner.
