As I write this, Independence Day is still a day or two away. And yet, I have things to do to prepare for the long weekend that require that I leave the comfort of my apartment and brave the 100 degree heat outside. Knowing that RQS is coming up makes things a little worse, as I don't want her to suffer heatstroke on her trip to see me, nor do I want the headaches of dealing with the heat. But this "brave little girl" will do so, simply because it's the right thing to do.

The day started off with me lying in bed when the A/C shut off. No, there was no problem with the A/C. Instead, the fan turned off because the desired temperature was reached. At that point, there was no going back to sleep for me. Yet, there was a great reluctance to do anything while the temperature outside was tolerable enough for light outside activities. It would have been nice to put on one of my exercise dresses and take a walk today. (Maybe I can do that tomorrow morning.)
After wasting much of the day time, I took a shower, did my makeup, got dressed, and took some garbage outside. (I didn't want the cardboard box and packing materials from my new chair to get in the way any longer than needed.) Then, I took a drive, not caring about the destination - I simply wanted to get out of the house. A half hour later, I found myself at Trader Joe's looking for some foodstuffs that would justify my drive.
Once done at TJ's, it was back home for the night. It was nice to get out again as Marian, and I wish I didn't have to change back to Mario as often as I've needed to lately. At least, today's hot weather justified wearing one of my more comfortable summer dresses.
