the good, the bad, the ugly

 I think my mind is on vacation

    I admit, I do some stupid things sometimes.

    But never so many in such a short period of time.

    The good:  I mowed the yard and field.  I also trimmed.  Then I used my yard sweeper because the  grass had really grown since Monday.  I also spread the rest of the mulch, which wasn't much.  At some point this year I bought a huge bag of fertilizer for my veggie garden.  I think 20 pounds was too much.  So I spread that in the back yard.

    I did all of that this morning.  Which was good. 

    I had to stop at the post office, and the AC was not working.  I asked what was wrong and the clerk said, "It sucks."  He was pretty sweaty.

    I bought some baby animal stamps and some Goodnight Moon stamps.  

    I don't need stamps, but I liked how these looked.  They were cute.

    I went to Walmart to pick up 2 prescriptions and some fruit.

    That's when it all got ugly.

    Normally I go to Cypress House for coffee.  But I had a yen for a Starbucks, so I ordered on  my phone.

    I don't know if it is me or the app.  But when I hit order, it tells me to choose a store.  So I choose a store and hit order.  It may tell me that 3 or 4 times.

    When I go to place order, I often have to delete 2 or 3 coffees before I hit place order.

    Going into Starbucks, there is a divided entry.  Inbound on one side of the divider, outbound on the other.

    I surprised a couple of outbound drivers by going in the outbound side, running 2 stop signs, and screeching to a halt in the parking lot.

    I went in and guess what?  They did not have an order for me!  Of course my phone was in the dar and I went and looked....I never hit the place order sign.

    I finally got home, settled in to sip my coffee and my phone. rang.

    I did not recognize the number, but I answered anyway.  

    It was Curtis at Walmart.  Seems I left my prescriptions in the grocery cart when I left the store.

    Funny thing is, I did not even miss them when I got home.

    Luckily one of the techs lives near me and she offered to drop it off.

    I am going to blame all this on the heat.

    But the truly ugly,  with a capital U, was the Cubs game.  At this point it looks like a total beat down by the South Siders.  

    Unless they really collapse.  But the Cubs need a touchdown and a field goal, and this ain't the sport for that.

Peace and Love
