My frustrations started first thing when I went to a local credit union to withdraw cash from their ATM. My credit union is not affiliated with this one, and they charged me $2.50. It would have been a 16 mile roundtrip to drive to the one I usually use and I just didn't feel like facing the traffic or driving that far.
I then went to Target to pick up styrofoam and plastic cups for camping, and looked for a pair of shorts I could wear. I have a lot of capris but few shorts. This is the year for short shorts, and I'm just plain too old to wear them. When my kids and I look at old pictures from the 70's and 80's we fall on the floor laughing at the shorts everyone wore. I ended up trying on a pair of shorts in the gym-wear section that had a 7" inseam, and bought them. A 9" inseam would be perfect, but I probably would never find any just a bit longer. I have a pair of knee length stretchy gym pants and just want a change of clothes now and then while it's too warm to wear the long pants.
It was beginning to get hot - going up to 97 today - so I just came back home. I'd like to start taking things out to the car, but if I pack it a little at a time I'll forget what I've already put in, or things won't fit right. What I need is one of my kids to stop by as they are all experts in packing anything efficiently, and I love to watch them working at it. They inherited that trait from their dad.
Target has become one of the most overpriced stores around, in my opinion. They have many of their garden section products on sale and everything is still too high. I have been looking for ages for a bird feeder that is cheap - I want cheap because I've never had a bird feeder that the squirrels didn't ruin.
I just made the mistake of looking at the 10 day weather forecast - from Sunday on (the day we come back from the mountains) the temps will be 102-104 for the next 5 days. I can only get a 10 day forecast so I can't tell when it will cool off a bit. This is awful, but I would bet that readers from the Phoenix area have it worse. If this is what we have to look forward to from now on I may need to find a cooler place to live in the summer.
- A Case Of The Jitters!
I'm not concentrating very well this morning. I went into the bedroom and dropped something on the floor - when I picked it up I noticed quite a bit of dust, so into the kitchen I went to get my dust mop. While I was there I decided to...
- Parallel Parking
I have always been very good at parallel parking. I don't do much of it anymore because most places have pull-in parking. This morning I went to the library and saw a nice shady spot on the street with a fairly good sized space between...

For some reason I just didn't feel like doing a thing yesterday, and just sat around the house. I did get to the gym this afternoon and had a quick workout, which I really needed. Today (other than going to the gym) I have spent most of the...
- What To Wear
Like most women starting a new adventure, our thoughts turn to the quandary of "what should I wear?", and I have been fretting about that all day today. I don't want to buy exercise outfits until I see what other women wear to the gym. ...
