My husband talked to someone in our caseworker's department. (our caseworker is absent today). He managed to get some emergency bus tickets which I will use tomorrow. She also suggested trying for a "medical buspass" hopefully I'll be able to qualify with a doctor's note and get out of the heat more often.
It was too bad he didn't get the tickets while it was cooler out but if I left here now I'd have to be medicated and wouldn't breathe very well. Tomorrow I'm getting up early and running away to the library where cool air prevails.
It is currently 44 C or 111 F outside and about ten degrees colder in my house. I have a "permanent pool" set up in my bathroom LOL. Just trying to stay cool. Might study for a bit and then have a nap to keep from exerting in the hot.
My advice to others on OW/ODSP is to ask your worker for some tickets to get OUT of the heat while the weather is this bad. Ask, and if your worker won't give you an answer or if you want to try again, try talking to their manager and see if the answer changes. It may be all you can do to escape the dreaded muggy monster.
