The past week was brutal. Now summer is my favorite season, but between menopause and 100 + temps with humidity in the 80s I am melting. My poor A/C unit was humming non-stop. Every year my husband’s company hosts an event at Val’s Pumpkin Patch. The Royals & Hazel love it. We get to spend the day there today with all the fun and without the long lines. Thankfully the high will only be 80. Stay Caffeinated.

    I think I was a summer person up until maybe age 18? So I’ve been over it for so long. Your temps there have been ridiculously high. I moved states just to end up hotter than where I moved from while they enjoyed 70’s and low 80’s. I used to love going to pumpkin patches with the children in my family. They are all grown up now.

    I am so done with this heat and like you I’m normally a summer person. The pumpkin patch sounds fun! Hope you’re having a great week!

    Oh my word! No wonder you’re melting, Kimberly… Our top temp today is 71 with 53% humidity. As hardly anyone in the UK has aircon, I can’t imagine what you’re going through – it must be like being in an oven… How do people work outside in those temps??? I hope you get some relief soon:).

    I hear you on the 100 degree temps in combination with menopause! I’m not handling the heat as well as I used to, either. Thank goodness, I’ve spent most of this August at in high altitude in the NM mountains, where it’s both cooler and drier than August in Virginia.

    I hope you enjoyed your pumpkin patch outing with the Royals, as well as the (somewhat) cooler temperatures. I can’t wait for fall!

    Sorry you are suffering in the heat. But I hope you enjoyed the pumpkin patch!
    I like the looks of your new books. Happy Reading!

    We only hit those temps for a couple of days and that was plenty to make me appreciate our usual summer heat. Glad you’ve got a nice day for your pumpkin patch trip.

    Have a good week, Kimberly!

    I hope the humidity and high temps got better. I couldn’t stand it all before but after perimenopause or menopause or whatever, I’ve been a mess. I try to stay in as much as I can when the weather is like that. I’ve also developed silent migraines so my head feels super weird when the pressure drops. Good times.

    100+s.. that is hot! glad you will be able to cool down a bit soon..

    A Demon’s Guide to Wooing a Witch sounds like it’s all kinds of fun! 😀 A high of 80 sounds absolutely delightful. I hope you get some consistent relief from the heat soon. Have a great week! 🙂

  19. Bookworm

    The Pumpkin Patch sounds so fun. I hear you about those temps! I can’t take the heat anymore either.

  21. Laurie

    Have fun at the event! It has been hot and humid here as well, but I believe it wasn’t as bad compared to you.

  26. Jessica @ a GREAT read

    Yeah our temps were brutal this week! We had heat warnings that started Monday and didn’t end until Friday night. I’m hoping the lower temps I’m seeing in the forecast are without humidity because that just makes everything worse!

    Nice new reads! I still need to read the Hawley book I bought earlier this year but they sound delightful! I will have to make sure I get this one on the list in case I fall in love with the books! Lol! Happy Reading!

    Here’s my StS

    Have a GREAT day!

    Well I know how the heat can affect you when you have menopauses or even pre menopauses! That’s no joke! But summer still remains my favorite season because of the light and long days. I hope the heat abates next week Kimberly!

    Honestly, by Wednesday I was an absolutely puddle as well. I spent most of Thursday and Friday trying to dry out my brain and get it back into action, to middling success! A pumpkin patch sounds lovely though, makes me eager for Autumn to arrive! I hope you have a lovely week 🙂

    Those temperatures with that much humidity sounds not fun, glad to hear your AC could help a bit and I hope the temperatures go down a bit soon for you. Have fun at the pumpkin patch!

  32. Maree

    The pumpkin patch visit sounds like a lot of fun. Have a great week!

  33. Mark

    Our temps were lower than normal this last week, but they’ve started climbing again this weekend. Might be our last truly hot weather of the summer. We’ll have to see what September brings.
