And now it’s Saturday, a morning not one whit better than the one that came before and the one that came before that.
HOT. Hot hot hot. 95 degrees in the shade of the back porch.
Clammy.
Sticky.
Little dawg is scarfing water so frantically she’s choking on it. Human is about to melt. Icky day, and the sun is barely up.
Far as I can see, there’s nothing on the calendar for this Saturday. Sure hope not! ‘Cause if there is, I’m sure not up for it!!!
8:39 in the morning. My son is probably still in the sack…I hope so, because he deserves it. Traveled all over the country. Surged from pillar to post. Worked his a$$ off.
But I should email him (which at least won’t wake him up) and ask if I can take him to lunch, today or tomorrow.
URK! Running low on dawg kibble. Ruby feasts on an overpriced fancy-dan kibble, available locally at the overpriced fancy-dan AJ’s grocery store. Without a car, I’ll have to put my son up to driving me down there, or else hike to Central avenue and catch a bus.
No.
And No.
Turns out we can order this stuff from Amazon. Fifteen bucks for a five-pound bag.
Hm. Exorbitant. But….could be worth it, to avoid having to navigate around in this heat and humidity.
Dang! Let’s see if the kid will tolerate getting together this weekend. If so, he can drive me down there, or pick up a bag and bring it up here. Otherwise, I’ll get Amazon to ship it.
IMHO, Amazon’s service pays for its over-pricing in spades.
Here’s hoping you and your son can get together this weekend and enjoy each other’s company. And that he can bring the needed bag of kibble, though Amazon isn’t a bad option.
It amazes me, with the last-mile delivery problem solved by human drivers, just how much can be ordered online and brought straight to one’s door. The lockdown accelerated the process, but I think we were already moving in that direction.
I haven’t explored home delivery as much as I might have, since I have minions I can send out for things ;0> but perhaps I should.
Vicky, you seem to be feeling a bit better these days. Still the same old cynical Funny, but I’ve noticed that your posts are more varied, and there’s a generally more positive note. I hope I’m right, and that things continue to stay on an even keel for you.
