Yeah, it’s going to be 103 today but at least we got a little break! They are predicting a tropical thing to maybe bring some rain next week. I sure hope so.

That 66* morning is great! Cool mornings make these hot days nearly bearable. Here, we’ve settled to the mid-90s, gonna be 96 today, and it’s much more manageable than 100+.

It was awesome! 82° this morning. But! There is hope.

Well, they already cut the rain chances down for next week and upper the temps so… whatever.

Feet, ankles, legs cramped up four times last night so not much sleep. Not what I had planned today but… I did do something.

Not quite, but almost! Today was terrible.
Ended up push mowing/ bagging grass, window washing (LOTS of ladder up/down) this week, followed by an extra favor for my peep that’s going in for a lumpectomy Monday.
One of the little deer that come drink water out of the bird bath got hung up in the fence died :sob: I hate that. First time in 30+ years one has ever done that.

They are saying a cool front is coming and will drop the temps to 98 with a slight chance of rain. Or course they said that last week, and they lied. :rofl:

I’m so glad you’re still kickn’ and not letting life kick you. I’m sorry it’s been rough - but that “cool front” sounds, uh, hopeful?? If it makes you feel any better at all, our heat index here was 110 degrees for three days last week, so we got a taste of what one of your “cool” days feels like. lol
