Yesterday it was 93, dew point 79, heat index 103. This morning it's 63 with thunderstorms.

Our cool off is coming overnight Sun/Mon.
And I see a 58 in the forecast. It will be a fleeting relief, but I'll take it!

I try to limit my a/c for all kinds of reasons above and beyond its cost. I tend to get sick with a closed-up house running a/c 24/7 or at least feel really lousy.
So, watching things like this (and I tend to watch tv set in cold climes, like the Iclelandic serial, Trapped)... It really does help.

I turn it a little cooler for her. Maybe I'll look into one of those cooling mats.
I'll have to look into that show when I get Amazon Prime again.
