the heat is on

prosodicThe outdoor thermometer reads 88 degrees. I don't buy it. It seemed really inaccurate to me yesterday. I really don't think it got that super hot yesterday, but then again, I sat in a hot tub most of the afternoon, so the air felt cool when I came out. Plus it was breezy yesterday, and it's breezy again today.
It's 76 degrees in the house, so all the windows are now closed and the fans are going.
I am done with my quick errands for the day. I dropped a bag of clothes off at Goodwill. Stopped at Top Food & Drug for groceries. I actually hate shopping there because they seem ridiculously expensive to me, but luckily, I got a lot of good deals today. A half gallon of milk was $1. A 5 pound bag of Russett potatoes - $1. I grabbed a couple of nectarines, 2 bananas, 2 cucumbers, sliced mushrooms, vinegar, Tillamook yogurt (huge sale on that, and they had lemon flavor!), hot dogs, a couple snack-size cups of ice cream, and a package of mixed berry bagels from the bakery...I think that was it. And I walked out of there only spending about $20. Not bad, really. Although my hot dogs weren't free. The coupon was only worth up to $4.59 and the hot dogs were $4.99. Ugh. That seems really expensive to me.
I came home and found Reece had been good. The only destruction she caused was to take the pillows and blanket off the couch. She does that a lot anyway, whether we're home or not, so that's no big deal. I'm not sure why she does it. Just one of our doggie's weird quirks, I guess.
So I'm home for the rest of the day, methinks. Responded to a freelancing ad...hopefully a legitimate one this time. Posted an ad of my own, offering services as an academic proofreader and editor. I need to apply for unemployment this afternoon. I contacted them yesterday and they encouraged me to apply, so I hope that means there's a chance to get it.
Just had lunch (a berry bagel smeared with cream cheese and strawberry jam), although I think I need to supplement it with something else. Tonight's dinner will probably be a mini mushroom pizza (I have mini pizza crusts, sauce and cheese in the house at all times) with a side of tangy cukes. I already threw the cukes together and they're marinating in the fridge. Yum! I'm kind of wanting a nectarine right now.
Still no word from Guam. I doubt I'll hear anything until my brother reaches my mom or stepdad.
