Mom and I went shopping this morning. The first stop was
Ollie’s Bargain Outlet for a couple things. I looked at sheets, but the only
100% cotton ones didn’t have a deep enough pocket for my mattress. Mom had a
mission which was fulfilled.
The other stop was a few doors down at Market Basket, where we threw ourselves into the crowd. Shopping carts were scarce and store clerks were wrangling them as best they could, which included taking them from customers in the parking lot as soon as they were emptied.
I had just grocery shopped a couple days ago and was
along mostly for the company and the cheese ends usually available near the deli.
There were no cheese ends today so I wandered around the store,
dodging the many shoppers who had the glazed look seen at any mall right before Christmas. The best part of the trip was
that the stores were air conditioned.
The temperature was in the 90s outside, and 85 in my house
despite my efforts to block the sun from entering. It was humid and there was no breeze, except
for the living room ceiling fan which I sat under all afternoon, drinking
endless glasses of ice water and reading a book
The bedroom is currently closed off with the window A/C unit
chilling the space before bed. I am most definitely missing the central A/C in
the Lowell house. One heat advisory day down, three more to go. I used to think
there is no such thing as too hot, but I am ready to reconsider that position.
