Inside my house it’s 88 degrees; outside temp is 95 and with humidity, over 100.
Cats still in basement; me a glutton for punishment, upstairs with ceiling fan a-whirl.
I left around noon and went to the landfill first. Then to the library, then to fill up on gas at BJs. Connecticut already has high-priced gas, so they thought it fitting to raise gas taxes by .15. BJs is the cheapest around, at I think 3.86/gallon. Inside, I took my time, looking in every aisle, in the air conditioned space. However, I was lazy and didn’t bring my cooler with ice paks, so I really didn’t think I should be buying anything refrigerated or frozen. Which is too bad, as I’m a little low, but I may just shop locally tomorrow, with the cooler. Maybe Trader Joe’s.
I did buy two refrigerated things at BJs: some of their organic salad greens and something new: Holy Guacamole. I got 6 small containers and froze 5 of them. Woofed down the 6th with some nice crackers. It wad delicious. I’ve bought avocados before but they seem to go bad in a day, and I can’t use a whole avocado in one salad.
I’ve begun to pick wineberries in my yard. This is the time they ripen. I won’t go crazy like in past years since that’s a good way to pick up ticks and more Lyme disease, but I am picking from the relative safety of a mowed lawn. About a cup a day. I’m freezing them for winter use when berries are scarce.
No freelance work for the past few weeks. I have about $420 in outstanding billables that should be paid any day now.
Tonight is a Netflix night.
I’ve completed my spending for the last bonus credit card. I am waiting (so impatiently) for rewards on 4 different cards.
Hot as Hades today

My English Castle: I would highly recommend the one I saw last night: Bliss. I know some people don't like to hear many details, so I won't spoil it for you. I will say it's a thought-provoking movie, is set in Turkey and has a happy ending.
