Wow.

Far more done than anticipated.  On the good side, it didn't get as warm today.  It is down to 84, but at 19:03 that isn't exactly fancy.  Though that it only got up to 92, as the highest I saw it, was a... more moderate day.  Really, 92 to 95 is... high summer temperature normals.  A 108 day is rare, an 82 degree days is about as rare.  The rest varies.  Still, it was hotter there for a few days, and expected to remain above average for a week or three.  Surprise!

The first problem was dental.  Not a problem, but the first thing.  It looks like my brushing regimen is better.  I had been indenting my teeth, by brushing too hard.  After the last two visits, we worked up a method for me to try.  No real grip, more like cupping the tooth brush in my hand.  And, that has worked.  As well, the usual problems they see, plaque and bleeding gums?  The plague was light, down from heavy.  And not gum bleeding.  And the indents weren't worse.  So... very good.

I'm telling you, brushing between two to three minutes, twice daily, an half hour after or before eating or even drinking... works well.  She suggested a particular brand of electric tooth brush.  I'd be willing to try.  The brands she suggested even keep too heavy of a hand from being a problem.  I'll look.

After that, I meant to return a package to amazon, but my phone wasn't working.  So I went to my phone store.  A pregnant woman had latched onto the worker.  She... needed attention, really.  And got it.  An hour and a half of it.  With her daughter there, then her husband, then their other daughter.  None of them were in any kind of hurry.  Decisions, decisions, flirting, decisions, attention, ugh.

Eventually I got a moment.  Had been thinking about buying a phone.  But beside me waiting, three other people were in line.  So, no.  I just checked what was wrong with my phone.  A two minute fix.  Then asked about which system would be best for buying a new phone.  He told me, and gave me a paper to look at.  Five minutes tops.  Then I was out.

But, with the phone working, I could get the return made.  Did and done.  I so wanted to stop somewhere, order out.  Nope?  I went to the bank, pulled some dough to cover some upcoming costs, and put some in my other account.  Then on to a store.  Eat out?  It kept flashing in my mind.  No.  NO!

I made it to the store closer to home.  Burger, shredded romaine, lemon, cream cheese, and a ton of La Croix.  I would like to fry the burger, tonight, and have a taco salad... just spiced beef on lettuce, perhaps with some simple raw cream, yogurt, or sour cream?  Not fancy, but it works.  I think not.  I will go with that other steak, needing cooked.  Might have taco salad tomorrow.  Too much effort tonight.

Everything is in, put up.  I'm just writing the day.  I figured out some of why the house was heating, and humid.  The water line to the dishwasher was leaking.  Hot, humid, water.  So... yeah.  I just turned it off, as I was leaving when I realized the issue.  Used some clean cat litter to sop up some of it.  And that will dry before too long, to be removed.  I'll have to find whether the leak is from the faucet connection or the line into the machine.  No major issue.  But, for now, that will help, a lot.

Now to get some steak.  And another fatted coffee.  Water, if I feel the need for more, later.  Though bedtime is approaching.  I did get a shower.  Even trimmed then shaved the whiskers first.  And... took the "slow" way in?  I had always thought the slower driving path would take forever to get into town.  This time I timed it.  It took less than fifteen minutes, and that with drivers driving slow(er) than the road allowed, being pains.  Never mind.  I will have to time it sometime when... when I can drive me.  Oh, that is faster, much faster, even with bovine drivers taking their time.  Gah!

And, really?  Beside being faster, but going slower?  The drive is far more pleasant.  Yes, I think I have found the new way in to town.  life is good.  Oh, fine, I'll pray for the bovine drivers.  That they can forgive us... bullish roadies.  :p  Later.
