You know how much I dislike being gone from home. Yesterday . . what a day!
I left the house a little after 9:30 to go to knitting. After knitting, I went and ate lunch, then went to get the car inspected, and the oil changed. From there I went to Hobby Lobby were some man pitched a fit and was rude and said something that sounded scary to me. None of the Hobby Lobby employees reacted so I hope I didn’t hear him right but I was ready to get out of there. It’s sad that someone can act that way and I think it was just because they didn’t have something he wanted.
Then I left Hobby Lobby and went by the grocery store. I wanted monk fruit sweetener, needed more cheese sticks, milk, then Vince texted me and asked me to get a roasted chicken and potato salad. Not fair to ask me to get something I can’t even eat but I got his potato salad.
From there, I went to the health food store. Love that store and the people in there. I brought my milk in with me because didn’t want to leave it in the car.
When I left the parking lot, the temp said 100 but I figured it was because it was sitting on hot asphalt. When I was getting gas . . oh . . yes . . I filled the car up while I was out. I was talking to a man who was also putting gas in his car and he was saying how hot it was. I said “Do you know the temp?” He said “No, but it’s probably about 95.” I looked at the temp when I got back in the car and it was 100 but then when I started home and got to the last stop sign before heading out towards the country, it was 102 at 4:12 p.m.
I’m cautiously optimistic! 99 tomorrow but there’s nothing in triple digits for the rest of the year. Oh, please . . let that be true! Look at the high for Friday and Saturday. That will feel amazing and . . a chance of thunderstorms. What we wouldn’t give for a bit of rain . . at least enough to lessen our fire danger.
I don’t need to rush to get those sweaters knitted but I’m hoping the worst of summer is behind us.

Sorry, Judy, it’s August in Texas, traditionally the hottest month of the year. I hope it isn’t this year but wouldn’t count on it.
Judy Laquidara says
If Accuweather is correct, it looks like August is going to be 10 – 15 degrees cooler than July and that will make me very happy!
Nelle Coursey says
I am ready for the cooler weather also! I am praying for rain!!
Susan says
I hope so, too, Judy! We’re having fairly nice temps, in the 80s all the time, up and down the scale, but my humidity right this minute is 100%, and it ISN”T raining! It was like that last night, too.
