Too. Damn. Hot.

I did go to bed early. Read a little of an investing book, but I don't like it as well as the other book that I read. The other book said that the hardest part of investing is "sitting on your ass" while the market gyrates. Word.

 

Got up early. Finished my grocery list.

 

Harlee cracks me up. She ate some of her food, ate some of Mimi's leftover food as a second course, and then went back to eating her food.

 

I have Bloomberg's app on my phone, and it has really interesting articles. They've using it to get people to subscribe to their periodical, but I can't afford it. Actually, I can get it for the Kindle at $5 a month. It might be worth it. It's cheaper than a lot of similar magazines. That reminds me--we get the Wall Street Journal at work, so I should skim it for free.  And I can get The Economist for free on my Kindle through the public library. Awesome.

 

When I got out of the shower, Zara promptly hid behind the dryer. "If Mommy smells like soap, she must be up to no good." Poor Z. It's going to take a while before she recovers from her ordeal.  She did rub against my hand when I was home for dinner though.

 

Went to Aldi before work, and got the majority of the items on my list. I had to put some sour cream and shredded cheese in the mini-fridge at work though.

 

I'm hoping that the heat wave ends today. We had a heat warning all weekend into today. Walking outside is like walking into a sauna.  The only good thing about it is that it feels delicious when you come into air conditioning from the heat. Right now, it's 93 F and humid (heat index of 108). I've been wanting to turn off Harlee's ceiling fan at night to save some energy, but yesterday, I didn't. It was 90 F at 10:00 PM.

 

The car dealer at which I bought my Kia Soul sent me a note telling me that I can get a new Kia at the same payments that I currently have. Yeah, right. I almost have it paid off (which, no doubt, is why they want me to get a new car) and I keep my cars until they fall apart.

I cleaned out part of the refrigerator over dinner and put out the garbage and recycling.
 

I bought some frozen brussels sprouts tonight, not realizing that I already have some in the freezer. I guess that I'm going to have a brussels sprouts party.

 

It's kind of too hot to cook, but I should at least microwave something.
