Another hot & humid day today. Not as bad as yesterday, but still too icky for me. I’d never want to live in Miami, Houston, or New Orleans - they get this kind of stuff as part of their typical weather. Here it’s not atypical, but it’s not constant.
Yesterday went alright at work. The icky project we’re working on as a department is very close to being done after meetings yesterday and today and will be submitted today.
The boss is leaving early today and will be out tomorrow and Monday as well. The lead admin has been out on vac. all week and will be out next week as well. It’s been nice, and it’ll be nicer without boss for a couple days. Ahh.
Bf was tuckered out from mowing and trimming yesterday, so last night I went to the gym by myself. I did an hour of weight exercise and abs. I’ve been doing both upper and lower body work because I’m not getting to the gym often enough to split them.
After the gym, I hit Target for dog food. They had the bigger bag for a lot less per unit, so I bought that. A bit awkward, but I handled it. The smaller bags are easier to deal with, but a pain because you need to buy more frequently.
I decided to see if Target had any chinos I liked. I saw a pair that looked promising and yes, I actually tried on a pair (post-workout sweat and all). I realized quickly, (but not before I tried them on, dang it) that they had front pockets that are the style that would stick out and look stupid and unflattering. Of course I didn’t notice that until I saw that the pockets were stitched closed by the manufacturer! Sigh. I’m sort of wondering what kind of company approves a clothing design and ultimately decides that the pockets on the finished product need to be stitched closed because no woman would buy them with the pockets sticking out and making her belly and hips look bigger. But I’d also looked again at a couple stores online for chinos last weekend and remembered again that I didn’t order any from those two places because they had similar kinds of pockets. So it’s not just a pair of $20 discount store pants, but LLBean and Lands End. But I guess those stores are not the most high fashion either. More shopping needed.
Dinner was a beef sandwich. I was annoyed that bf didn’t boil some pasta while I was at the gym and at Target so we could eat pasta for dinner w/ the sauce I made over the weekend. I need to do weekend cooking for myself or we’d eat crap all the time.
Nothing planned for tonight. Bf has something going on, but I don’t recall what.
Okay, I’m going to publish this. I have a lunchtime training type of session in which you eat lunch during the session, so I need to get some lunch beforehand.
