My carpal tunnel syndrome/Arthritis didn’t respond as well to my treatments and some discomfort returned to my hand today. I am almost out of Voltaren so a ew order for more was placed this evening. Only further future applications will tell the tale as I move on.

Tuesday was mostly cloudy and pleasant and a bit more humid but with no rain. I reached the upper 70s once again for highs with dew points remaining in the 60s most all day. We peaked with our max temperature (77.5) of the day in the early afternoon. The low temperature for the day (lower 60s) was reached in the early morning a few hours before sunrise.

The peak wind gust for the day (14 MPH) was light once again, “peaking” mid morning, veering over to a SE direction today. Barometric pressures were highest in the very early morning while the lowest was reached at the very  end of the day.

Cloudy and cooler on Wednesday and Thursday with good chances of rain with possible areas of flooding, highs in the mid 70s Wednesday and upper 60s Thursday and lows in the mid 60s Wednesday to lower 50s Thursday. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday should be nice with partly to mostly sunny skies and highs of 70-75, lows in the mid 50s
to appropriately usher in the new fall season that arrived with the autumnal equinox on Wednesday.
