I didn't see where the weather landed today (101 or 102 probably), but the forecast just keeps adding more 100F+ days. Last I saw, through Monday.
Okay, so I guess it was 103F again, and that was an all-time October record. Thank you Google.
Today it was sick spending. I felt like crap and was feeling very particular about food. So I grabbed some groceries in the morning (for breakfast) and got a fast food burger for lunch. I had planned ahead black bean wraps for the week, but the thought of those makes me want to puke. So I told DL(19) to please eat those. I thought of that after he ate all the rest of the food I bought within a couple of hours of me getting home this morning. So much for that.
I will probably buy breakfast on the way to work tomorrow, unless I wake up feeling 100%.
MH went to the movies after work. He used his unlimited movie pass.
Oh yeah, and I taught DL(19) how to address an envelope today. He did not have a clue. His employer requested some paperwork. Which is a whole thing because it's a state job and everything about this is weird and tedious. Thankfully he was able to update his address online. They had a typo in the street name, but the mail was still making its way here. He's just never had any reason to mail anything before.

I think we are about 5 years away from no need for the post office. It will take longer to actually go away because many older people (which I am) don’t trust online banking (I do) but I think we are reaching the point where that number will dwindle.
Improved internet access will be the last straw. There will still need to be package delivery services, and maybe some remote areas will need to provide distribution/collection as a service.
A lot of trees will be saved when there’s no more hard copy junk mail! And Hallmark will just be a movie channel!

My temp today is a warmish 80F. I had to dress down to summer clothes again, which is only T-shirt and shorts. No way I want to bake in 100F+ if I can help it yikes.
