Not much -

Progress - 

Can't stop it. 

My town is building a new super-duper Costco with a gas station. 

And because it will put a traffic strain off the I-5, they are putting in a traffic circle. 

I don't have an issue with traffic circles like so many do - I find they move everything nice and orderly. 

My issue is that in a world where we are rethinking how we live - economizing, recycling, conserving water, and trying to be better stewards - why did we have to build a newer Costco when the other one was fine? They cut down a small forest of trees for the new Costco. 

I don't get it - it's wasteful. 

OUCH OUCH OUCH 

When I was cooking dinner last night, I splashed up some hot grease on my chest and in between my cleavage. Immediately I placed a washcloth with cold water on it - burns hurt and I was hoping I could prevent it from blistering. 

All is well - I have 4 red raised spots that do not appear to be blisters. They only hurt if I touch them or my clothing rubs against them. 

I'm 68 years old and I have never done that! I've always been so careful. I will be even more careful NOW that I know what it feels like. Ouch. 

 Tomorrow Laydee goes to the vet for another test. The other baseline senior panel she took, came back really good. One more test and then we can decide when to start tapering her off the meds. She is doing well and has no anxiety which is amazing. We still have to get through next week and the 4th of July. 

Navy texted me yesterday and sent me the packing list of what his mother-in-law sent them. A big package of meat from Omaha Steaks. That was awfully nice of her - since they are housing and feeding Sara's brother, sister-in-law, and toddler. The brother and SIL do not have jobs. I know that Navy has been concerned about the higher prices - and having 3 extra people to support. 

I checked them out and right now they are having a 50% off sale with some pretty good prices. I no longer have my big freezer. Anyway, I can also go to one of the 2 butchers in town, get local beef or meat, and custom order. 

Today I bought some pork chops for 2 meals, and some breakfast (round)  steaks we'll have for 2 dinners. In my freezer, I have 2 bags of frozen chicken breasts. (with bones) and another bag of frozen breast and leg portions. Not to mention a whole roasting chicken. 

I had to buy some other stuff, so we don't start getting sick of chicken. I just wish at least one bag were boneless. 

We're cooling off - it's 98 degrees/10% humidity. Supposed to get even cooler this weekend. That will be nice. The husband mowed both lawns. He's using the push mower since our lawn mower died a couple of months ago. We don't have big lawn areas anymore - just enough for the dog to play on. 

Have a good evening and I'll see ya when I see ya.
