Hot Weekend!

Here it is, my Saturday morning.  Yes, working retail can be a pain, so my "weekend" is Friday-Saturday, but at least they're both together!  And frankly, a day off during the work week makes running errands less of a chore.

I've cleaned my house top to bottom, walked the dog, washed the bedding, took out all the trash, and last up is the kitchen -- which always seems to need to be cleaned!!  All of this needs to be done  early in the morning because we're still in summer temperatures here!!

Yesterday, it was 109 at 4pm as I was driving home.  Oddly enough, I thought the temps were *great* when I got up this morning - only to discover that it was a warm 82 degrees!  I guess any relief is better than no relief!  Looking ahead, we should be closer to the 100 mark by next Weds because of clouds.  With clouds comes humidity though, and 98 can feel like 105!

I didn't make it to the gym on Weds or on Thursday.  With a bunch of remodel construction going on, there have been regional management suits walking around for two days.  Because of my position over the hazardous waste station, etc, I didn't feel comfortable leaving the building in case I was needed on Thursday. 

On Wednesday, I caught a nail in my tire on the way to work.  I drove slow and steady, watching the pressure reading on the dash, praying it wouldn't drop until I made it to work where I could get this taken care of pronto.  Well, not so pronto, but I'm in the building all day, so no real hurry to get the job done!  I was happy to learn that it was a small nail and I could have it repaired for $10!  woot! and even happier to be able to report back that the tire didn't go flat overnight! hahaha


All that to say this Gal won't be doing much outdoors again on her weekend! 
Time for a good book, and a cool drink!
