It has cooled down here. I'm not complaining, as I didn't want it to be crazy-hot nor storming when I had to take DH home. One more early morning (surgeon is an early bird), then I hope we can have some calm for a bit. When's the next time DH has to see the surgeon? We have to get up at 4 am to get there on time. The surgeon doesn't have an office close to us, but he is well-respected in his field, which makes him worth the drive.

One reason for being early, is some surgeons don't do surgery all day. They also see patients.

Good Morning Kids! It's my last 4am wake-up call. Getting up at the normal 6 am is going to feel like sleeping in tomorrow. Gotta go play in traffic before it gets heavy.

Happy Friday peeps! We are now getting regular afternoon rain, which is helping my sinuses immensely.
Got a busy week next week, including lessons on a friend's shooting range. I think I need to do this before making a final decision on a gun purchase.

Good Evening Kids! It's been a week, and I plan to have a beverage before bedtime. I thought I was done with paperwork for the week, but of course the mailman brought me a new stack for DS. I'm not even looking at it until tomorrow.

Gracious good morning Saturday peeps! A hot one, as usual. Swam and did a quick grocery stop. I decided I needed pickle relish for my tuna salad for lunch and my dinner veggie burger. As well as a few other things. This particular store has a very good discount/discontinued section, and I always look there for good deals. Found a few today. My credit union has their food drive all month, so some of the boxed and nonperishable stuff can go to their drive.
We will do Costco early on Monday. No way this weekend. School starts Monday and I will avoid that madhouse for now. I swept the floors and cleaned the bathrooms so far. Will trim hedges later, when the clouds move over around 3.

I plan on going to a school fund raiser, car wash today. My car will be hand washed and dried, by high school students, to support their Lacrosse team.
My nephew's daughter plays on the team. She won't be there (has to work), but her mother will.
I hope they have a good turn out.

Ugh. Maybe I'm not getting my car washed. It looks like its going to rain, any minute.
The place where they're washing cars is not convenient (near by), so between the two, I'll probably pass.
I washed my car last Friday (a week ago) and it rained Saturday. I might have to go through the car was tomorrow, instead.
Bummer.

Good Afternoon Kids! I had just a bit of Kohl's cash to use, so I ordered a couple of small things online, and picked up my order this afternoon. We're eating the last of the food from DD's wedding tonight. The 2 main course items froze very well.

Well, it got a little cloudy, so I ventured out to trim the hedges. I made quick work of it. I had to. It's 105 out. I am finishing my green iced tea and moving on to lemonade hydration drink next. Burgers for dinner - I am having a vegan version so I can have dessert.

Hot and sunny although more like high 80s including heat index. Still kind of melty weather for me, so working on my next move b4 I seal up the package. Hope to complete this today and file & deal with lots of other things too.

Sun is so bright today that some of yesterday's lawn mushrooms turned brown on top. Others are still white.

The sun is back out now and shining brightly. But it was pouring buckets, when I ran into the store, to get my prescriptions.
Unfortunately, the car wash ended at 3:30.
I love car wash fund raisers! I hope they have another one.

Rain finally arrived. Got a few more weeds pulled. A lot of thunder and lightning with this storm. Even the kids next door went inside when they hard this one coming.

Did my package drop-off at a drop box and bought a pepper at the Spanish market with change. Hope I don't regret spending those quarters. And I might. I got a roll of quarters at the branch I was thinking of applying to with help of S. When I got home today, I decided to put the rest in the laundry quarter pill container. Well it was a customer rolled one and had both a dime and a nickel in there instead of two quarters. I've been to the laundry S uses in that same town twice now. So I'll call up the branch Monday and request they credit my account .35. Right now that's a big deal since I have to do more hoop jumping to even get my disability insurance paperwork to the insurer that does our disability pymts. They are missing the HR piece stating what this years disability benefits are and need a care plan for me. Got too tired the last couple hours of Friday's business day. So I hope I can do a virtual appointment ASAR (as soon as reasonable) I really hope that unusual roll of quarters was a customer mistake versus the teller or branch trying to mess with me. Nickels can be found in customer rolls of quarters, but a dime is highly unusual as is the wrong coins not being the same type.

It's covered in a lovely cream sauce.

Opti Have you been able to process and ship your sock return finally during this unbearable heat index in your neck of the woods.

I just went outside to put the used coffee grounds on the rose bush. Yup, that kind of hot out there. Also washed off my trail shoes from the run earlier. The trails were messy, but that's good for race practice. Made French toast for breakfast and started the dishwasher. Will run a load of laundry and vacuum the rugs later. I made a big serving of iced green tea to enjoy. Dinner is leftovers, plus fresh corn on the cob.

Made cornbread for breakfast. Just got out of the oven. Wish I had something good to put with it. Like bacon or healthy breakfast sausage.
Not sure what the day will be except there are a few things I want to tie up today instead of waiting until tomorrow.

I am adding cleaning the kitty water fountain to my job list today. I have a vitamin delivery on the way - I went out to check the mailbox for it and noticed a big thundercloud to the southwest. So rain may be on the way.

Its low 80s here busy so I have a tank top on while I do my stuff. Running DW so I can pack up some of the cornbread. Will put the other container through tonight. If things go well, will make the discounted Streit's choc cake so I have desserts to snack on.
Going to put lunch in the oven and work on hydrating up. Its cloudy, probably should check the forecast for rain.

Thanks for brunch. It looks DELICIOUS! @nancyssummersip
I'm just getting up and going, for the day. Not sure I will get much done.
I'm not ready for fall. Ugh.

This pup looks almost exactly like mine. She's a mix, though, so she has a real snout and a bit of black on the tips of her ears. She's my first small dog, after a series of Labs and Lab mixes.
