Hey everyone! You've probably saw me Tweeting desperately about extreme heat in Moscow. I wasn't prepared for this at all nor was our apartment ready... We live on the sunny side and without air conditioning room temperatures rise above 30-33 degrees Celsius (86F) with no humidity or breeze.

Turning on the PC in this heat pretty much sends it into a stroke not to mention rising the temperature even further. I avoid drawing since I already lost work progress once when the computer decided  that it needs to take a break and turned off.

I feel similar, can't concentrate on work for more than 2 hours a day, all I do is try cooling off, naked all the time but it doesn't help much.  As if it wasn't enough, all the plans to get a split conditioner went out the window with everyone doing the same the closest window to get one would be in 2 weeks after applying for.

We thought getting a portable conditioning would be a temp solution and got one, but it's too loud, only cools of one room and what's more important burdens the wiring too much.  If anything else is turned on the circuit breaker just trips. A friend said that's fire hazard and we need to change the wiring.

So we can't work with it on, can't go anywhere because of COVID measures, feel terrible, our animals aren't feeling better than we do. I'm trying to keep Patreon updated but all I can do is wait till the temperature goes down or some rainshowers get it down.

I will try changing my schedule to work through nights instead since air conditioning stays a dream.

Sorry you have to read all this whining, but I just can't take it anymore mentally or physically.

There's nothing you can really do. It must be positively awful. Take care of yourself!

Taking care of yourself comes first. This heat is horrifying and I'm so sorry you're experiencing this

Make sure you and your pets drink plenty of water. Have you considered a nice cool bath or shower it might help to cool you off, here at home we freeze blueberries. It's makes a perfect snack to cool you down on a blazing hot day. Not sure if a fan might help. Basements are the perfect getaway retreat from Those beastly hot days. Have you tried a fan and some ice cubes in a container. Place the container in front of the fan. It might work. It's days like these I thank God for the grace of chilly winters. Most importantly is take care of yourself and your furry little critters. Hugs. Sending you prayers for a beautiful rainfall to chase away the horrid heat wave. Hugs

Make sure to get plenty of fluids and use your pc at a minimum because of the pc exhausting hot air. It also will overheat faster. Stay safe

Take care and see to what you need to do for your finance and your pets. We will still be there when you'll be able to get back to drawing.
