Burnin' up

My boyfriend and I decided to leave for a walk at about 11am this morning, figuring that it will be good exercise and a good way to complete some errands at the drug store. It started out pretty pleasant. I had my hat on and confortable shoes. I kinda worried that I hadn't put on any sunblock, though. It's super sunny,practically cloudless, and 100 degrees. At about 2 miles, we got distracted at this 99 cent bargain store. Hiding on a bottom shelf were Tide sticks for 99 cent each! What a deal! We grabbed every single one that they had. Could not pass that one up.

Next, we finally hit the drugstore - prescription was not ready yet. What?! I called over 1.5 hours ago and you said it would be done in an hour! I've worked retail before - just don't be promising people stuff like that if you can't keep your end of it, okay? So, we leave and decide to have lunch across the parking lot at Panera bread - Italian Combo on Ciabatta - our favorite. About 30 minutes or so later, we go back to the drugstore - another problem. That took an additional 20 minutes for them to fix. Geez. I know, I think I'm losing patience.

Finally we start walking home and stop by the local market to pick up some sale items we saw in a flyer earlier in week: a pint of blueberries for $2, 2 grapefruits for $1, green beans and broccoli crowns - all for $5 and some change. What a deal. Of course, my boyfriend was my superman who carried all this stuff home. I got to hold our soda cup from Panera bread - the soda was getting warmer and warmer.

Our trek home felt like crossing the Sahara. Whatever that feels like. I mean, it felt hot to me. I have pretty low tolerance for heat and it was getting worn out pretty quickly. My stomach felt full from soda and I was getting a cramp in the middle of my chest. The kind you get after running. It's probably hotter in Vegas though - maybe worse in Arizona. I'm just a pansy.
