Monday . . .no, Tuesday
Today is Tuesday. Except that it felt like Monday all day. A hot Monday at that since apparently the day after Memorial Day is the beginning of summer. Not really of course but the humidity arrived today so it may as well be. Yeah, it was hot. Here we go. Hair in a clip because I cannot stand it on my neck and now the inevitable jockeying to see how much we can take it before we need the AC on. I’m such a wimp. I’d rather be cold than hot. Not freezing cold mind you but cool. Yes I am a fair weather woman.
Worse yet there I was feeling oh so smug because my cars were parked on the north side of the street and street cleaning was on the south side today. . .except that it wasn’t because today is TUESDAY not Monday, and the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month street cleaning is on the north side —where my cars were parked. Thankfully I had errands to run and it dawned on me as I got in my car that I was the only one parked on that side of the street . . . because it is TUESDAY. Mercifully I realized my error before the street sweeper arrived and I was able to find parking spots for both cars and avoid the $40 fine (the hazards of living in the city and having to park on the street). Never mind that I burned $20 worth of gas moving the cars. OK maybe that’s an exaggeration but I wonder. I tried to fill up the Suburban a few days ago and had to stop at $100 because that’s all it would let me pump. It wasn’t even full yet!! I wanted to cry. Tim says $20 is the new $5. His Dad used to laugh at people who only put $5 worth of gas in their car. Wonder what he would think now.
I remember when gas was $1/gallon. And not that long ago! But then again that’s relative isn’t it? For instance 20 years doesn’t seem all that long ago to me and yet to my kids it’s eons. Yeah I’m getting old.
OK enough rambling —I’m off. Time to watch Lost. Yes hubby and I are terribly behind the times as we are on only the 7th episode of the 1st season. It hasn’t really pulled me in yet though. We’ll see.
Peace!
