It is 88 at 1;00pm and pushing for a high of 97 today. Then is stays sunny until so late there is no break from the heat. The next 2 days will be mid-80's, and then a few days in the 70's. Hallelujia! I really hate hot weather, but I'm getting too old to want to be in frigid temps in the winter. Asheville NC was just about perfect!
I did some shopping at the Sac Food Co-op this morning and loaded my cart with organic veggies, and also bought Dover sole filets. I haven't seen them in a long time, and having them fresh will be a real treat. I want some ice cream but as hot as it is it would melt on the way home, even if I buy it at someplace nearby.
What I need is to go to Home Depot and buy a mister, and then sit outside and be cool all afternoon. I wonder if they are expensive, but I guess everything is these days. The crape myrtles are starting to bloom which surprises me as they didn't bloom until around August in North Carolina.
The new MiFi is working fine, although I notice that sometimes it is smokin' hot and others it just crawls along. I still don't have my cell phone, but I'm not going to call my son or d-i-l and ask them to come over with it as hot as my house is. I may have to break down and hook up the swamp cooler, as I can't take many more afternoons like this one. I could go wander around the stores in cool comfort, but I am not leaving Lady at home to suffer alone.
It is so frustrating to try to do anything in Blogger lately. I wanted to change my header photo, which I've done many times before and done correctly. This time I kept getting a red message saying something about an incorrect url for the photo. So when I unclick "shrink to fit", the picture appears but is way too large for the screen. OK, I tried it one last time and it "took" even though it's not the picture I wanted and is not very clear.
- Finished!
I just put the last pieces into the jigsaw puzzle I started on June 14. That is 1000 pieces. I thought I was missing 3 pieces but moved the coffee table a bit and found them on the floor. I'm posting a picture of the finished puzzle,...
- Bring On The Pineapple Express!
It looks like now the predicted high today will only be 102, down 2 degrees from the 104 that was originally forecast. To amuse myself I looked up various websites to see what the coming winter might hold - hoping Sacramento would be blessed with a frigid...
- I Can't Stay Awake!
I guess it's the result of all those miles driven, but I have been napping throughout the day, usually waking up energized and ready to check a job off my list. That doesn't last long and I'm back on the couch. Today is a little cooler, thankfully,...
- The Best Seafood
I don't often write about food (at least I don't think I do) mainly because I don't like to eat out. Yesterday on my way home from the hairdresser I stopped at Whole Foods to see if they had sole fillets. Well they did, but not the Dover sole...
- Another Day Away From Home
I owe Lady big time for leaving her for the second all-day time in a row. Donald borrowed my truck early so that he could help his mom move some of her stuff to her new house, so I drove it over there and went with the girls (Jeannie and her 3 daughters)...
