In our State we have what we call Red snappers. they are hot dogs, that are red, they make a snapping sound when you bite into them, and my home town has a festival celebrating them every august. Even though I don't live there anymore I take the hour long trip every year to go . It was SO hot today, and the air quality is so low from the smoke coming down from canada. I had some anxiety about going because I was afraid of the heat setting off a panic attack. But I made it through and I had a lot of fun. I did have a little trouble. After a couple of hours, my heart started pounding and I started to feel dizzy. I walked back to my moms church and sat in front of some fans to cool down a bit and drank lots of water and that helped. No panic attack was had. I then took my daughter to get some ice cream from the local ice cream place and we sat out on the beach while we enjoyed it and then headed home. I was proud of myself that I was able to avoid an attack and have a good time with my family
