A busy busy day!

Things are happening in advance of Linda's arrival next week. Yesterday the lady was here dusting and from what I can tell, she did a good job. Then, in the afternoon, I went to the groomer so I'll be presentable for my company and more comfortable in the heat.

Speaking of the heat, it is most oppressive today. I drove to Bible study at Victory this a.m. and it was already 80 above zero at shortly after 9. Normally I don't mind the heat but because I had places to go and people to meet, I appreciated the air conditioning wherever I was.

After Bible study, I had an appointment for an oil change at Sun Tire. Originally I was going to simply sit in the waiting area but every seat was taken. A man offered me his, but I thanked him for that, choosing instead to go to Aron's Pizza next door to wait. The timing was exactly right---I saw my car driven around the building and parked again just as I boxed up my leftover Strombolli. 

He really wanted me to get the right ones!

From the oil change I drove out to Fleming Island to Wal*Mart to pick up a prescription and a few other things. Justin had asked me to get him some more freezer treats called Pop Ice, which he likes to have as soon as he gets home from work. For the life of me, I could not find the brand he requested. I sent him a text message asking if he'd take a substitute. He called me back via Face Time. At first I didn't know how to answer the call, but then I figured it out. He had me show him the shelf and witness for himself that no Pop Ice brand was available. Another brand would do the trick, but not his first choice. They are quite inexpensive a treat---got 96 for less than $5 for this off-brand. 

It was hot in the store, and hot outside, so it was good to get in the car and drive back home to my air conditioned house. I am not really complaining about this, as heat is so much easier to take than the cold, in my case. No pool time for me today, as my day was full (blessed!) and errands needed to be done. Tomorrow comes the vacuuming man, and then all things will be ready for Linda's arrival!!
