Last day of perhaps the hottest month I ever spent in Texas (aka, my whole life). Granted, I am usually a bit on the glad side to bid August farewell. And there are plenty of places in Texas and elsewhere that are hotter that what I experienced. But personally, I think this one tops them all. Zero rain this month. Lots of 40°C+ days. Too many slow cooldowns.

But I’m still here. I survived well. Food was quick and easy to fix. Plenty of ice. Cold sandwiches. Chores done before noon. Sleep in the afternoon. Not be in any hurry. Be a lump. Spend a little extra mad money on distractions.

Payday at midnight. I don’t need to leave the house until Tuesday (after Labor Day). Kitchen is stocked. Nothing on the shopping list. I am parked. No shortage of distractions. Don’t need to spend any of it.

Idalia kicked the upper level high back at us, so it’s warming to around 100°F in the afternoons. Not as bad as 108°F, but still warm. Still in good lumping form.

Gravy got made this morning. I had a full serving on bread. A fairly busy morning. I grabbed more minis, got ice, filled bin, broke up two bottoms for Myka, one zip back in the top loader. Dishes. Watered crab grass. Horde water. Unloaded truck. Fed Myka. Ice water for Myka. Made gravy. Put gravy away, rinsed pan. Watched city cherry pickers trim trees for electric lines out front.

Other than that, same ol’ same ol’.
