I had plans to go to Costco early this morning before the crowds arrive, and pulled into the parking lot at about 10:30. I reached in my purse for my wallet so I could get my membership card out to show at the entrance. No wallet! Well, that was that. Not only could I not get into Costco, shop and pay, get gas, etc., I also was driving without my license. When things like this happen to me I take it as a message from the Universe that I shouldn't try to shop at Costco today, and just came back home.
I've ordered a couple of books to read on the plane to and from NY, with one of them being shipped to my son's address just in case it might not arrive here in time. Ironically the book has already shipped to NY, while I haven't heard anything yet on the one I'm expecting to be delivered here. I still have a week for it to arrive. I wish I knew what to expect weather-wise for NY in September and early October. I can go by previous years and/or forecasts for this year, but I don't think the forecasters know any more than I do. It's probably a crap shoot!
Speaking of weather, Sacramento is finally looking pretty good for a change, with the coming week in the high 80's and maybe into the low 90's. I am truly sick of the heat, but know it's not over.
I note that an old sports hero of mine, Johnny Bench (catcher for the Cincinnati Reds) is now making commercials. I would never have recognized that gorgeous sex symbol of the 1960's as the guy doing the commercial. I just shake my head and realize if anyone remembers what I looked like in the 60's they wouldn't recognize me now. No one is lining up to pay me to make commercials!
The moon has shone in on my bed in the exact spot I've been sleeping in (to avoid washing the sheets last week). It has been a spectacular sight as well as comforting to be in the moonbeam. I think last night was the actual full moon, and it seemed to be a little larger than usual.
Speaking of changing sides on my bed, it is working out quite well and I'm glad I did it. The mattress will have a chance to recover from my weight on the same spot night after night, and the new side feels like a new mattress. I've always turned the mattress at least a couple times a year but the last time I had a very difficult time maneuvering it by myself. So instead of moving the mattress around, I'll just move Gypsy around.

Poor Ara, went to the airport last night and was told the flight had been delayed until this morning. Today's flight left, but there was a delay of several hours in Houston; I haven't heard if it finally departed, but I hope she is home...

I went to Costco this morning and first went into one of the lines for the gas pumps. The pumps can be accessed from both sides, but all traffic drives one way in and one way out. The hoses are longer than usual so if your tank is on the left...

I'm one for one with Costco. I just got my bill for membership which amounts to $110 for the coming year. I have the Executive Gold Star membership, which gives me an annual rebate of a certain percentage of my purchases for the year. ...

Yep, another short week gone by. I had to make a couple of short trips this morning, Costco and the grocery, and I couldn't believe the traffic. I wondered if there had been an accident or a lane closure somewhere, but it's...

I washed two loads of laundry and got everything hung out to air dry. I thought I would just kick back for the rest of the day because my energy was spent, but then remembered I needed to change the sheets on my bed. I put the summer sheets...
