Sharon, now you can visit Fiji! Staying in one of those grass huts that sits on a dock over water sounds divine. Right now I am getting head butted because apparently I am typing too much and not paying enough attention to Oreo.

Lucy does the head butting.
I've started watching cat videos on instagram before bedtime. Those make me happy and I don't want to see the news. Lucy seems to enjoy watching cat videos before we go to bed.

I watch a lot of cat videos. 3 adoptions today ... yay. Is summer over yet? I'm tired of skeeters, tired of smog, and tired of hot.

I became Grandma late Thursday evening so have had DD/SIL's pup as a houseguest since then. Oreo is totally pissed because she confined to my bedroom all day then gets kicked out at night for "THAT DOG". I'm hoping that the pup will be going home today but it is beginning to look like it will be tomorrow.
We are talking about a 45lb Australian shepherd. She takes her half of the bed out of the middle crosswise.
I had originally thought we would get some yard work done while she was here but it is too hot.

Congrats! Enjoy your granddaughter and the time you spend with her.
I talked to my friend in Colorado last night. She immediately wanted to talk politics. I told her I would not discuss that topic. She kept on going. After about 2 sentences I told her if the subject wasn't changed, I was hanging up. Topic changed. She reverted back later and I said I had to go and hung up.

Oreo needs some time with you after having the dog there in the cat territory.

We're having a heat wave. 110 today. 110 tomorrow. 10-day forecast looks repulsive. And the air is smoky ... again.
My wonderful DH was activated and sent off to Texas ... no idea when he's coming back.
Did I mention we're having a heatwave?

May your DH stay safe in Texas. It's obvious that Texas needs all the help they can get.

I am still waiting for an air conditioner repairperson to call me back. I've tried 2 and they were both "too busy" for the next few weeks. I've got a call into one who was recommended by a friend. His office said he would "try to call Thursday." Augh. Hot Hot Hot and smoky here ... fires north and south of us. Heatwave + smoky air + husband gone + PMS beginning = BAD MOOD.

Molly,
Have you considered replacing your AC instead of trying to repair it? It's probably at the end of its life and may not be worth repairing. You could probably get someone out faster too.

Dad sounded surprised when I called to tell him I was on the way to take him grocery shopping. He kept asking in the car if I was sure it was Thursday. Still not sure if he believed me.

Today is supposed to be hot and smokey so I am staying inside. The air quality is listed as unhealthy of everyone. House work followed by watching a movie and doing some knitting is today's plan.

My wonderful DH's unit has been moved from Texas back to northern California to help with the wildfires. (We've got 23 fires in California going on right now, 6 in central California making our skies smoky)
AC repairman came out ~ said it's the motor and there's a duct issue. He's coming back on Thursday morning to replace the motor and test the ducting.

We are horribly smokey right now. I have a horrid headache and raspy throat from the smoke.

Took dad grocery shopping.
His list: M & Ms milk hair spray aspirin
He buys the large bag of M & Ms every week. Started with 1 small bag a week, then 2, then 3. He's 93. Might as well enjoy them.

Two adoptions today at the Adoption Center. Yay! Working the adoption center again tomorrow. My wonderful DH leaves at the crack of dawn for who knows how long ~ Fires in Norcal. (Unless, of course, he gets sent elsewhere)
10-day forecast is toasty.

We actually had light rain this morning. It made a real mess on the windshield with all the dust and ash. I hope the cooler temps we had are helping the firefighters. Rain is good also. ❤ mollymouser ❤ when your DH helps with the fires does he fly one of those planes that scoops water. Earlier this summer Mom and I went up to try and watch them scooping water out of a reservoir for fire fighting efforts but they weren't doing it that day because of the winds or smoke or something. I knew that we could park in one of the many turn outs along the road and not be anyone's way.

I can tell that Autumn is coming! Woot! Woot! I have a focus group tomorrow night ... it pays $150! Yay! My wonderful DH warned me that his Oct 1 pay may be delayed. (How unusual)

How did the focus group go?
Got flu shot in left arm today. So far, it doesn't hurt. I got the short at Target. Because I am on Medicare, it had no copay and I got a $5 off coupon for Target. Will definitely buy birthday cards there.

We usually do a flu shot clinic at work so I am waiting to see if that happens. If not I will be in at the doctors in November and will get one then.
Mom went into the doctors today to get her ears cleaned out and asked about a flu shot. Some young thing at the desk was trying to tell her that she couldn't have one without an order from the doctor. When they called her back for her ears she asked that nurse and they said no problem and gave it to her right then. Mom was a little provoked because she knew that she could walk into any of the local wags or safeway etc and get one without a doctors order. In the end she was pleased because she got two things off her list, ears cleaned out and a flu shot.

I decided to get it at Target because the doctor's office where I usually get it also charges my insurance for an office call. There is no doctor present in the two rooms when they are giving the shots. I don't have an appointment with my doctor until med October and I don't want to wait that long.
That is ridiculous about doctor's orders.
I'm hoping I am not the one elected to take dad for his flu shot.
My arm did hurt by the time I went to bed last night and still hurts this morning.

The focus group was long and felt super repetitive.... but it earned me a $150 VISA gift card! (My butt was sore from sitting 4 hours on a less-than-comfy chair!)
My wonderful DH is out of town this week ... so I had to bring in the mail yesterday. As I was carrying it in, a cockroach scuttled out from the pile and I shrieked, freaked, and flung the mail all over. The offending bug scurried off. Needless to say, I refused to open the mailbox today. Maybe tomorrow in the bright sunshine I will. (We have a locked, sealed mailbox ... so I am assuming it arrived WITH the mail, but I'm not taking any chances. Otherwise, my wonderful DH can bring in the mail on Friday night. :::: shudders :::::
We're supposed to be in the 90s for the next three days.
