Saturday personal

Was up just before noon (had stayed up late last night, as usual). Needed to drive down to the vet's to get Boozy some special food for his kidney condition. Got two cases of canned, one each of Purina NF and Hill's k/d (totaling 48 cans), plus a 4 lb. bag of dry k/d which will fit inside an airtight Tupperware canister to stay fresher longer. All came to almost $100, but it'll last a while. (The vet closes at 2:00 on Saturdays, but I was there in plenty of time.) (It's only a couple of blocks from here.)

Then it was over to Starbucks for a coffee and an egg salad sandwich, which I brought back home to consume in air-conditioned comfort. Was at the computer for hours, and also went back to Starbucks to get a coffee refill. Later I made a hot open-faced roast beef sandwich for dinner, with Campbell's canned beef gravy. Pretty nasty but it did its job moistening up the excellent roast beef (eye of the round) I'd bought on sale last weekend. Had a giant sandwich, with lots of salt and pepper, and tossed any extra gravy away. (I often make my own gravy from the pan drippings but didn't do it last time. I ate the pan drippings instead with a spoon.)

After cleaning out the cat boxes, I cleaned myself up and headed up to Target, just north of E's restaurant. (His car was there, as expected.) (He called me last Sunday, by the way, and we had a nice chat. I'd called him on Saturday to tell him about Boozy's visit to the vet, but he couldn't talk.) Was looking for deodorant and "BOD man" spray. Got an Italian sausage hot dog instead and found the deodorant on sale at Navarro (where the Piccadilly Cafeteria used to be). (BOD spray not on sale.) Navarro advertises itself as a "discount pharmacy," but right when it opened, a few weeks ago, I priced two items I usually get at Publix and they were cheaper at Publix. Nor did they carry the Plus White toothpaste I get at Publix. But I was pleased with today's steep discounts. It's been so hot and muggy lately that I went back to the Old Spice High Endurance products. (Sorry, Speed Stick, but you let me down.) Bought two varieties at the sale price.

It would be quite a bit cheaper to buy the BOD spray in bulk on the website (free shipping with an order of $50 or more). The stuff cost $8.89 at Navarro but it's only $7.19 on the website (and their "list price" is $7.99). I'd never bought it before but E. used it. Following last night's deodorant failure after walking to and from the gym in the extremely high humidity, I thought it might come in handy.

"Muggy" is the word.  Right now, at 8:34 p.m., the temp according to The Weather Channel online is 82 F. but "feels like" 90. (The NBC local weather site says it's 84 and feels like 93 - that's quite a spread.)
