Seems I get more done when I do not have a plan

Yesterday afternoon just like we were told we had strong winds and the temperature dropped about twenty degrees. I was hoping the winds would be stronger so the broken limbs that are hanging by a thread would finally break off and I could drag them to the curb. Unfortunately, that did not happen.

When I went to feed the boys this morning it felt wonderful it was in the '60s and it made me feel invigorated. Wednesday when I went to vote I needed to pick up a couple of items from HEB but by the time I passed by there again, there were far too many vehicles in the parking lot.

Texas has had a resurge of Covid-19 cases in the past couple of days and Del Rio is not the exception. Per the Mexican newspaper El Zócalo, there were 40 new cases reported in a single day. They are awaiting the results of 273 tests so that number could rise. http://www.zocalo.com.mx/new_site/articulo/se-disparan-en-del-rio-los-contagios-de-covid

With that in mind, I decided to take advantage of this cool morning hoping it made people stay in bed longer as I headed to HEB to purchase more canned goods as I am contemplating going into self-isolation once more.

Picked up more HEB brand soups (Hill Country) that are .20 cents cheaper than Campbell's and quite tasty.

I bought some more menudo...

 

Topped off my purchases with chili...

Much like this past Wednesday when I ended up voting without planning to...this morning I ended getting my flu shot much the same way. I had intended to do that this coming Tuesday but now that I was here...why wait?

I had no idea the people sitting in the Pharmacy waiting room were there for the same thing. I thought they were waiting on their prescriptions or I might have changed my mind. It took longer to get my flu shot than it did for me to vote.

Tomorrow we will be back in the high 80's but a cold front with the possibility of some rain will make its way down to us early next week.  We are in dire need of rain.

Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Aunty Acid Saying of the Day

Going to turn in early tonight

My legs have been hurting a lot lately and I have been feeling tired...no real reason why.  Last night I even went to bed early (for me) 11:30 p.m.  Woke up at the ungodly hour of 7:00 a.m. Having slept 7.5 hours is a miracle the equivalent of two nights sleep.  Remembering how much I got done the other day by starting my day early decided to head off to HEB.

No crowds, plenty of parking space and the only thing on my list were milk, eggs and oatmeal. There was this young man offering samples of "barbacoa" and boy it tasted delicious!  I did not even know HEB sold it on weekends.  Over heard a customer ask him if they sold "menudo" to which he answered yes...darn it all...decided to buy some too!  There is a reason why they tell you to never shop on an empty stomach :-(

Drove by the P.O. Box and it was full...when was the last time I came to pick up the mail?  Oh yeah, it was the last time I woke up early!

This evening I soaked my poor feet in warm salty water.  I think I am going to turn in early tonight...well, maybe :)

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
