No, really, it’s cooler today. The temperature dropped back down to the 60s, and it’ll mostly be in the 60s/70s for the next week or so. It’s also going to be rainy for the next few days. While I do enjoy Mr. Sun, we probably need the rain. Plus, I’ll take this fall-like (or early spring-like) weather over a real feel of 100 degrees any day.
I’m loving every minute of this cooler weather. My friend (who’s also a barista) just closed the side door at the coffee shop, but the front door is still open. Yes, I have my jacket on, but I’m enjoying the change from yesterday. It’s cool but not cold. Plus, certain areas of the coffee shop are still warm, so it’s not like it’s freezing in here. But we’ve already established that I cannot handle the blistering, near-100-degree weather, so let’s just move on lol.
It’s also cooler in my house, so I know our pets (especially my elderly dog) are happier. The dogs were uncomfortable, and the cats were lying on the floor like they were melting. Poor babies. I’m so glad it’ll be cooler for a bit. I hope we’ll have the main a/c in at home by the time the next heat wave hits. The temperature drop is why it hasn’t been put in yet. Well, that, and it’s a bigger window, and my brother-in-law recently hurt his arm at work (he’ll be okay). Someone would help him, but still, it’s not worth the risk of furthering the injury when we would’ve only needed it for 3-4 days.
In other news, I'm hoping to be productive today. I have my water, grape Powerade (I wanted to finish it off, so I bought it with me), and my warm coffee (my first since last week). Plus, my Spotify and headphones. There’s plenty of work to choose from, and I’m thinking of continuing to work when I get home.
Eventually, I need to go to Five Below and replace my “All I Need Are Dogs & Coffee” coloring book (long story short, it got messed up), but that’s not something I NEED to do tonight. I’ll do it over the weekend. I’d rather work today and a good chunk of tomorrow. OH, Five Below also has an “All I Need Are Cats & Books” coloring book, and I think I’m going to get that for my older sister (the one I live with). While the dogs and cats are family pets, and we love them, I think she's more of a cat person, and I've definitely adopted the family dogs as my own lol. Plus, she loves books, and I love coffee, so it's perfect.
But in the meantime, I’m going to get some work done. I hope you all have a great day. Stay safe and take care, everyone. :)

Glad it got coolet for you !
Severe heatwave days are expected.
Our places have temperature ranging for 41 C to 45 C !
Schools upto Middle department has closed early for the summer break.
And well, rains are still quite far away.
Now only dust storms could perhaps help a bit.
