Mother Nature's Surprise

"It's hot in here" the cashier at the grocery store said.  My mission today was to get a manicure and maybe a pedicure.  When I called this morning to be sure Morgan (manicurist) was available, they asked I come after 1pm.  Usually, they ask if I can come right away.  I've learned in the past to be ready to go when I call.  Okay, now I've got a couple of hours to burn.  I also planned to make an emergency run to the grocery store today because John was out of bread and lunch meat for his lunch.  I decided to head out to the grocery store.  I headed on this gorgeous day!

We had a record breaker today, we reached 86 degrees.  It is just after 7pm and we're still at 84 degrees.  Mother Nature exceed expectations (fooled the weather forecasters) of 75 degree predictions.  I thought it was a nice surprise, the cashier, not so much.  "I prefer it cooler, I can always put on more clothes to keep warm.  When I'm warm, I can only go down to no clothes, and I don't think they want me working in here with no clothes on" she said jokingly.  I noticed pulling in that the trees in their parking lot were in bloom.

I got home and put away the groceries with 45 minutes still to spare until my appointment with Morgan.  I ate an apple and decided to head on out.  On my way, I remember last week passing a tree that was in full bloom.  I made a mental note that I would stop next time I passed that tree and take a picture.  Isn't it perfectly formed?

A little further down, someone had planted a small blooming tree in their yard.  You can always tell a young tree when it still is tied to sticks to hold it up.  It was in full bloom.  I couldn't resist stopping to take a picture of this one too.

On to my nail appointment.  While I was selecting a color for my toes, Morgan came to greet me.  She's such a lovely girl, always a happy disposition.  She asked if I was still unemployed, I told her I was.  I did tell her about my two interviews and the result of one of them.  She said she hopes I find something soon (so do I).  She probably would like to see me more than once a month.  I use to go every other week when I was working.  That girl gives such a great massage on my arms and legs (for manicure and pedicure).  She didn't disappoint this time either.  She painted little flowers on my big toes.  Aren't they pretty?

One thing about Morgan is she's fast too.  She had me in and out of there in about an hour.  We are also out of Diet Cokes.  I've decided to cut back on my consumption, which use to be one every other day.  Now I just use Diet Coke if I want to make a Rum & Diet Coke, which is usually a Friday and/or Saturday night at home.  John likes to have his daily shot of caffeine, he doesn't drink coffee.

Since I had some time on my hands, I decided to swing into Shoppers Food Warehouse (SFW), just for a quick Diet Coke check.  Maybe I would get lucky and there would be some leftover from the weekend even though their delivery is only Tuesdays and Thursdays.  No Such Luck!  They had Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite and Dansani water.



You can see where the Diet Coke is suppose to be, right?  The forecast for tomorrow is 100% chance of rain until the afternoon.  Happyone heard the best day for grocery shopping is Wednesdays when shelves have been restocked from being depleted the previous weekend and ready to go for the following weekend.  There will still be Diet Coke on the shelf Wednesday at SFW.  It will give me more time to print coupons too.

That was my day, nothing exciting just productive.  If I decide to blow off the grocery shopping tomorrow for Wednesday trip instead, there is always the laundry and other chores that I can get done tomorrow.  Hope your day was a good one, thanks for joining mine.
