Field Notes- Friday August 5th. MUGGY. UGH I actually could never live in the South. Again.


 Sigh.  Gave husband permission to mow the front lawn.  I was giving the TruGreen fertilizer a "chance" to make the grass green again.  It made the weeds green again.  So....I surrender gracefully.

Husband is cutting the weeds.  The mower mulches as it mows.  Weed mush.

The grocery store was-- oddly unsatisfying.  After all these COVID YEARS of being a delightful diversion.  I did find a bottle of sweet soy in a new brand further to the right of the regular soy with stuff for sushi.  As we get into cooler weather (PLEASE) in September- I will revert to steamed rice and vegetables with sweet soy. Maybe October?

I was tempted to buy the Vegetable Sushi early in the shopping trip.......for about ½ a minute.

I had a Library book to pick up.  And I returned the Wedding Crasher and got the first book in the series (of two books) The Worst Best Man.  Why not.  I'm thinking there will be a book three...cause the gay room mate needs a wedding.

I got some baked chicken breasts at the Deli- they were more expensive today.  Only two. pieces.  I need some protein to go with the salad greens in the fridge.  I find I am not interested in tuna- I used to be- but not any more. I also prepared a yogurt bowl with frozen strawberries- which I hope have thawed out (overnight) and moisturized the Bran Buds.  That will be LUNCH.   I eat twice.  Breakfast and Lunch. Just like my husband.  It makes everything easier.

Husband went, alone, to get his new glasses.  Old wire frames and new High Tech line-less lenses.  $476. But he can now read with the regular glasses and not the Readers.  I have never had a single issue with the three bars of different lenses.  He did.  I guess he's the Prince and the Pea????? But I do wear Readers if I plan to read for hours. Easier on the eyes.

High point for me and worth $476 is that I won't have to "search" for his Readers three or four times a day.  Still have to play hide and seek with the hearing aids though...... he takes them out for lawn mowing, watering the garden, workshop things, reading, listening to me, etc.  And forgets where he put them. This is why I think I will die first. Of Simple Repetitive Aggravation.

  1. every time I go back to texas I can't believe I ever lived there. And I forget how HOT the air is until it hits me in the face, (takes my breath away) then it all comes back. Here, even when it is hot, the air is cool. We have a few hot days but only a few.
    The rain here is tedious, but nothing like unrelenting heat ;)
