Warm Saturday

I've had a quiet day, today.  Slept in, in the morning, and took it easy for the most part.  But I also did a load of laundry, did some paperwork, a bit of dusting, rearranged a couple of shelves, and did my decluttering.

We are having a bit of a heatwave in So. Cal. this weekend.  Today's high where I live was 99F, but the house was a cool 75F when I woke up and I managed to keep it at around 82F later in the afternoon, which was quite comfortable for me:

I did turn on the ceiling fan in the family room in the afternoon and kept it on all evening as well.  I kept the windows closed all day to keep the hot air from coming in.  But opened the windows at 8:00 p.m., when it cooled off.   Tomorrow, I will bring in the stand fan from the garage - it is supposed to be hotter, tomorrow, and 105F on Monday.

I had half a bagel (plain, untoasted, without any butter or cream cheese) for brunch and made some of what we call mango pickle for an afternoon snack - fresh mango cut up, mixed with salt, sugar, chili powder (I didn't put as much as we normally do), and vinegar:

I couldn't finish all of it, so the rest was put in the fridge for later.  Dinner was half a bolillo roll sandwiched with a scrambled egg and a slice of ham cold cuts.  The bread tasted bitter to me, though.  :(  Some fresh grapes for dessert.

Today's declutterings:

June 18 Decluttering

1 fabric bag
2 blouses
1 pair knitted leg warmers
1 3-ring binder
5 books
= 10 items

One of my friends called me to invite me to a prayer gathering she will be hosting next Sunday afternoon.  I'd love to attend; I haven't been able to attend any while I was having chemo.  But daughter will be visiting next weekend and her flight back is on Sunday afternoon.  I'll need to drive her to the airport at about the same time as the prayer meeting.  If my friend lived closer, I could still go to her house after dropping daughter off at the airport and not be too late.  But it's an hour long drive to her house. 

Today, I am grateful for:

- Being able to keep the house at a comfortable temperature even without a/c.
- Phone call from aunt and a friend.
- Video chatting with daughter.
- Ceiling fans.
- Electricity to work the ceiling fans.

How was your Saturday?  What have you planned for tomorrow?
