It's Tuesday today--starting last Friday, the temperature started hitting 100+ every day: 106, 105, 105, 101.... I think today through Thursday, it's "only" supposed to be 97. It actually reminds me a little of the daily heat and humidity Jared and I endured when we lived in China for six months. While it couldn't be called comfortable, we did start to get used to it.
Due to the heatwave, a couple of roads have buckled, I've seen many cars on the side of the road, and thousands of folks lose power briefly throughout the day.
I'm kinda proud with how Jared and I have dealt with the heat. It doesn't pack such a punch after being in China. We can walk around, get stuff done, and don't break a sweat for a while. We keep the thermostat up near 80 during the day, and drink plenty of water. I can understand how those not used to it are sweltering, but it's not so bad for us!
Tonight is Garner's 4th of July celebration at Lake Benson Park. We'll drive out and meet our friends from our church small group, and enjoy the NC Symphony's concert and fireworks. Tomorrow's the actual holiday, and Jared and I might go see a movie and then pack for our trip to Charleston. I've been looking forward to getting away, to having a reset. I hope that Jared will enjoy it, too.
