Three eggplants in the house to eat or freeze. Have to finally make the strawberry jelly. Laundry is finished, sink still full of dishes.

We had a near miss on rainstorms this evening and consequently it's muggy as hell out. The AC will run as much to dry the air as the cool it. The one saving grace about the really high temperatures is that they force the moisture out of the air and at night if you can keep air somewhat cooled and moving, you can sleep. When it's muggy the balance of AC and moving air is more difficult to achieve (too much AC breeze makes sleep less comfortable).

Still sticking pretty well to making the dietary shift. Way down on carbs, making a point of getting a few through the day to stay healthy.

I am making myself enter all purchases in Quicken, including (especially!) credit card, and it does make me pinch those pennies twice. I was looking for a silver chain a certain length but not finding the style or weight I wanted (or the price) so I got smart and simply bought a little 3" silver chain extender. I can use this with the several I have and it was only a few dollars, not many. Money and time - two things I am trying to get much better at managing!

Have a good weekend, all! Stay dry or cool or whatever your climate dictates.
