The Big DumpTruck

I'm exhausted today. Our bedroom was about ten thousand degrees last night thanks to the 87 degree day, and although they said the temps would drop like a dead duck in the evening, that cold front didn't pass through until the middle of the night. So I just couldn't fall asleep at all.

Then I couldn't have coffee in the morning because I was having a fasting blood test (Oh my God, maybe the woman doing the draw needed another cup of coffee too...my whole arm was in pain) and the lab had a line about 10 people deep.

Yesterday I bribed Junior with Dairy Queen to get him to go to the Mall at Whitney Field with me. I wanted to run to JC Penny and Circuit City. Note to all stores that sell computer cables: Apparently HP has decided to move from a 6-pin firewire port to a 4-pin one. That means you have to start carrying 4 to 4 cables. Circuit City, I especially mean you, because you sold me the computer. You need to have the appropriate accessories. I bought the next to the last 4 to 4. Staples and another unnamed store didn't carry them on the shelf, but they could be ordered. That isn't good enough for me.

So anyway, the Subway sandwich shop is open again down at the mall. I think I met the manager (or the owner?) and she seemed very on top of things, and concerned about things like filth. As in, they weren't selling soda from the old machine because she was concerned that it was completely gross. Now THAT is a good manager. Big high five right there. And Auntie Anne's is open again, so my main gnoshing needs are all being met.

Today: 30 degrees cooler than yesterday. I don't think sleeping will be a problem.
