Coffee will be shorter today. The rain is imminent, and I want to finish my Errands before the soaking. Errands? I didn’t do them yesterday. I didn’t go out. I don’t even think I did anything. I might have, but I don’t remember. All my days have melted together. Last week I thought every day was Saturday. This week I know the days, but the week goes slowly.

Being a sucker for punishment, I watch MSNBC and CNN, mostly at night despite being driven crazy by the late night commercials. There are far too many, and each set of commercials is so long I can whip up Dinner, put it on the plate and start eating, but even worse is the repetition. The same commercials appear over and over. No, I don’t want WeatherTech. I don’t want an upright walker. I don’t want a walk-in tub. I don’t need any medications with all those side affects. See the trend?

My air conditioner has been running for the last three days except for periodic stops to open windows and doors to grab a bit of fresh air. Today will be hot and humid with a high of 77˚. Thunder showers are predicted for later. Tonight will get cooler, down to 66˚. Most days I have to check the paper or ask Alexa for the weather because my only exposure to fresh air is the run for the morning paper and yesterday’s mail.

I’m going to make a meatloaf tonight. I don’t know what will go in it yet. I have to rummage through my fridge. I’m going to frost my meatloaf with mashed potatoes the way my mother did. It always looked liked a Loaf Cake to me, an ice cream loaf cake. I have some carrots. I’ll add a glaze of honey when I cook them. I’m already excited for dinner.
