2 more unseasonably hot, muggy days ahead, but decent rain chances Wednesday as a weak front moves southward. Should actually start to feel like late September once some drier air settles in late Wednesday. The stretch from Thursday-Sunday is looking good.
Looks like ~6 more days of Extended Summer ahead before hopefully transitioning to somewhat closer to seasonal temps. Gonna be warm and muggy until then, especially to start next week. Outside chance that Monday (ironically the first day of "Autumn") we'll see our highest high and highest low of the rest of the year. Forecast of 98/76 in Austin, 93/78 in Houston.
I came down with something this week. Either a mild cold or some lesser strain of COVID. Severe sinus pressure starting Monday night. Congestion and sinus drainage Tuesday, still present but milder yesterday. Just some residual phlegm left to expel today and feel almost back to normal. Was still able to work out each day as I never really felt "sick," though I didn't feel like I was at 100% so I went less than full effort. No headache, body aches, or fever at any point. Mild fatigue at worst.
Someone please photoshop me a "Ohh you almost had it" meme. Put an Astros hat on the fisherman and a silver boot/playoff spot on the end of his line. TIA.

Yeah, this is what I was getting at. I've developed major envy for parts of the country that have distinct, defined seasons. I'm not even just talking about up north or in the mountain states. It starts getting pretty nice this time of year in places like Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville.....etc. Pretty much anywhere north of Dallas.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle dominated the box office this weekend. $70M in US and Canada, over $400M international so far. I'll wait a few months until its available to stream, but that's pretty cool to see.
Had to step outside for a second before going to bed last night. 81 degrees with a feels like of 87 at 11 pm. This shit getting tedious.
Hope everyone enjoyed that nice 60-hour stretch from last Sunday morning until Tuesday night. Looks like it'll be a while 'til we get another dose.
