But if I smell like smoke, it’s only ’cause I’ve been through hell

Good warm morning, my friends. Podrick was a super good boy, and didn’t wake me up. He only walked across my legs once, maybe twice.

Still warm here. It gets hot in the afternoons, but the mornings are just warm, and sticky. The humidity is pretty high. I don’t know or understand what the dew point is, but I’m sure that it’s at least in the 60s*.

Yesterday was perfect for a drive. Nice and sunny. Not a lot of wind to push you around the road. Just nice and clear. I could just point the truck in the right direction, and go. We stopped for drinks at OtherSlightlyBiggerTown. While I was standing in line I noticed a display – summer hats and cowboy hats. So I bought one. I realized I had adult money, and free will.

From there we started the 1.5 hour drive to a big enough town that has a Walmart. I had saved up for this trip. And mentally I needed some retail therapy. It was a good day at the Walmart. We went up and down each aisle, and just had fun looking around and making jokes. The original item that I wanted to buy was a vacuum cleaner. They’ve gotten a little more expensive. I just wanted a cheap $50 one.

Well, those don’t exist anymore.

So we continued to go up and down the aisles. Crystal found and fell in love with a pair of spoons. So, I threw them into the shopping cart. By the time we were done, the cart was full of a lot of basics, some sauces, and just some stuff we needed. From clothes to shampoo, to cat food, to items everyone needs, like bacon. If we saw that we needed it, it was put in the cart.

After a quick stop at McDonald’s for a very late lunch, we were back on the road, with the truck pointed in the direction of TinyTown.

A few hours after we got home, Crystal made two amazing bbq chicken naan pizzas. We ate like kings and queens while watching NXT.

Back to work this afternoon. It’s my co-workers last day. I don’t think he’ll do anything stupid. But BossLady already knows I’ll stay late to clean up his mess, if he makes one.

*the dew point is at 62°. And the humidity is 70%.
