HEAT WARNING
A heat event continues today.
Daytime highs are expected to be near 31 degrees Celsius with humidex values of 35 to 38.
Hot and humid air can also bring deteriorating air quality and can result in the Air Quality Health Index approaching the high risk category.
A cooler airmass is expected to arrive tonight.
The health risks are greater for older adults, infants and young children, pregnant people, people with physical and/or mental illnesses, and people with disabilities or mobility issues.
Watch for the effects of heat illness: swelling, rash, cramps, fainting, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and the worsening of some health conditions.
Drink plenty of water regularly, even before you feel thirsty to decrease your risk of dehydration. Thirst is not a good indicator of dehydration.
Never leave people, particularly children, or pets inside a parked vehicle.

Today's Journal
I had a rough night. My cough came back with a vengeance late in the evening, and I became really exhausted, I could barely keep my eyes open. I went to bed at 8:30, tried to read my book for a bit, and was asleep by 9:00. I don't think I heard 3 minutes of the sleep story but I wanted to listen to. However, Tickles woke me up four different times last night because she wanted to go out into the backyard. And I know from experience that she only does this if she has diarrhea and she did.
I took her out at approximately 10:30, 12:30, 2:30 and 4:30. And then she finally woke me up for good at 5:30 by barking. She never barks during bedtime hours. She's been so confused and a little upset since Dennis hasn't been here. We are now looking at Day 6 of Dennis being stuck in the hospital. I hope to God they can figure out how to get him breathing again so he can come home.
However, I feel okay this morning and I tested negative for covid. Yay!
I went over to the hospital from 10:45 am to 12:30 pm to visit Dennis and help him with lunch.
Mike came over and whipper-snippered the front yard and trimmed the boxwood for me. Then I went out and swept up the grass and clippings, then mowed the lawn.
Then I back went over to the hospital from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm to visit Dennis and help him move beds, and with dinner.
