I MANAGED TO STAY HOME UNTIL HUBS WAS FINISHED WITH THE CAR REPAIR. He came inside all smiles with success under his breath. He worked on the car in an air conditioned work shop. Our SIL has built a rather large shop with air conditioning and offered the use of it to him. Huge blessing as the temps hit 95 degrees with a heat index of 105 degrees.
When he got HOME, I fed him a hunger saver of an apple and celery stalk. I told him we'd eat in Topeka, but instead we took a NAP then went to Topeka. grins. Grabbed a bite to eat then went to GOD'S STOREHOUSE for thrift time, Natural Grocers for Apple Cider Vinegar pills and finally SAMs for paper products, ground turkey, butter and fruit. For a Tuesday afternoon, the stores were incredibly busy. I suppose because the 4th of July is approaching and the shoppers are ahead of the game.
The interior of God's Storehouse was overly HOT inside and they had some doors propped open letting the 105 hat index creep in. Too warm inside for comfortable shopping. I left with some cute cardboard children's books, a pair of reading classes and a miniature, wooden Christmas sleigh from the 1940s for one of my dolls to sit on under the Christmas Tree come December.
I took my time searching Natural Grocers for a certain brand of the Apple Cider Vinegar and found one bottle of it on a cap table. Relieved I got one. I'm so accustomed to going to town to get what I need that I forget the convenience of shopping by mail. The traffic is dangerous at times that I should shift gears and stay HOME instead of being in traffic with others that I don't have a clue what their mindsets are.
The heat was intolerable making me ready to be HOME so I did not make it to the Laundry Matt and I'll try again tomorrow. A heat wave this week so it is best to go early to escape the heat. I'll launder the Teddy Bears and then go for my Vitamin B12 shot. Hubby has a Physical Therapy appointment. He doesn't think his knee is improving. After his appointment, I think we'll drive on over to the Laundry Matt to wash my bears and then go over to the out-of-town storage unit to get the last of the boxes to take HOME.
Once we're HOME, I know we'll take an old fashioned rest and then proceed to unload the boxes at the other storage unit which will house our Christmas decor for now. It'll be too hot to take very much time working the units so we will probably work inside the house.
I am in prayer about my Brother-In-Law who is deathly ill. He is having another biopsy to find out what stage of cancer he is in. He may be in Stage IV Pancreatic cancer which does not have good prospects. My sister is beside herself. My heart goes out to them over this situation.
Another serious reason to have our home in order. I am not at peace about having so many loose ends regarding our belongings. The sooner this comes to completion the better. I believe my blood pressure will naturally come down.
If I don't stay flexible, I'll crack.
