susandennisMy brother arrives tomorrow morning! He should be landing at the airport about this time tomorrow. He's going to rent a car and drive himself here. Nice! I have laundry laundrying and in a nice bit of coincidence, today is house cleaning day.
Ok, laundry has now laundered and is nearly all put away. There's a small pile of stuff that doesn't need to not wrinkle still on the bed, under Biggie. It can wait.
I watched the coverage of yesterday's soccer match. Not the match but the coverage of the crowds and goings on. Since it was happening right under my condo's terrace, it was fascinating to watch from such a distance. I texted Christian who said it was going fine with no unexpected drama. By the 5 pm news, nearly everyone had cleared out of the area which bodes well for us. There is another game on Friday and we have 7 pm baseball tickets so while the crowds may be bigger and linger longer cause the US is playing, it should be ok. I hope.
A few weeks ago, there was a woman on jeopardy who was described as an author. Ken Jennings was kind enough to even mention the title of her book - Rabbit Hole by Kate Brody. I put a hold on it at the library because all the copies were checked out. Yesterday after I added my new libraries, I looked again and it was available at one of the new ones so I grabbed it. And started reading/listening. It's a keeper. I'm 25% in and 100% hooked on the story. Fun way to get a new book.
I cleaned out the freezer which really meant just doing an inventory. At least I feel more food organized.
No need to go to the grocery store after all so I'll just be here, inside, enjoying the air conditioning. While a/c is not quite a novelty around here like it was a decade or so ago, it is still not a guarantee. Lots of homes and even some stores do not have it and this is a week it is needed for sure. We not only have it here at Timber Ridge, I have total control over the temperature of my apartment. This is a luxury I do not take lightly!
