AND it is all Amazon's fault that I had to do what I had to do today, because a few days ago I ordered a case of canned cat food, which was scheduled to be delivered on Friday. But, Amazon notified me that the food would be delivered yesterday instead. Okay, that works. Then Amazon emailed again; now the cat food won't be delivered until tomorrow!

SO, being completely out of cat food I had to go out in this heat, climb into my car - which was surely at least 135 degrees inside - and drive to the grocery store to buy the cans of cat food I need. Therefore, the $ I was supposed to save by ordering the case of food from Amazon is now null and void, since I had to spend money on the food today.

Then, as long as I was already out and about I decided to wash my very dusty car (which also had bird shite on it), and I needed gas, too. (The price of gas has dropped from almost $7 to $5.40 - really cheap!)

So despite the brain-frying heat I am well-stocked with cat food, I have a clean car, and the gas tank is at just above 1/4 full. Huzzah! (Should I thank Amazon...hmm...)

And now: a prayer of gratitude for a/c and fans, then - a shower.

*Oh - btw, did I mention my ineffable horror at the video footage displaying the ineptness of LEO at the Uvalde massacre? Yeah. There's that.*

Love to each and every beautiful soul here

@*Beth* Amazon is a jerk! I don't doubt that it was 135 degrees in your car! And at that heat you can't even hold onto the steering wheel! Even if you have a fancy car with a cooled steering wheel it would still take time to cool down.
