I did my grocery shopping right after breakfast. It was nice to have a car again. Ordinarily, I would have gotten gas today, but I have to let the tank get down to less than a quarter full before I can get the factory recall work done on my fuel system. My shopping list was a little longer today, but I still managed to get back to the house before 11 AM.
I went back to the gym today because who wants to walk in this weather. I still can't figure out why I walk slower on an indoor track than outdoors. It's counterintuitive. I got my steps and spent a little time on the basketball court, but that was it. I had no real desire to complete an extensive exercise routine today. Actually, I thought the gym was closing at 1 PM but I was wrong. I checked later and it is open until 4 PM on Saturday. If this weather continues, I'll be going back to the gym all next week. That should drain my gas tank fairly quickly. My car gets terrible gas mileage.
This afternoon was uneventful. I did a load of laundry and charged some batteries. It seems like I always have batteries to charge. There are laptop batteries, camera batteries, audio equipment batteries, watch batteries, power tool batteries, as well as the lawn mower battery and several large uninterrupted power supply batteries. I don't think I will ever get an electric car because batteries have become my nemesis. I'm always forgetting to charge the ones I really need.
I thought that Dawn would return to normal as soon as Janet got back from vacation. She's still acting weird though. For the past several days she won't come out to the kitchen and eat her dinner until Janet returns to the house. When Janet does come back, she doesn't even greet her. She races right out to the kitchen and eats her dinner. This seems very strange to me. At least she's still eating. She ate normally when Janet was gone too, although it took a few days.
I'm trying to decide whether to go back to the observatory later this Fall for a Special Viewing Night at the large 82" telescope. The observatory has resumed these special viewing opportunities that had been canceled during the Covid lockdowns. I'd really enjoy looking through this historic telescope, but I hate the long drive and I have pretty bad luck about arriving on a rainy day. Artemis-1 is supposed to launch this Fall as well. I would definitely go see the Artemis-1 launch first. I have a feeling that I'll probably sign up for a Special Viewing Night though. By Fall, I'll be bored to tears. I really need to find something I enjoy doing in Dallas. It's too complicated and expensive to always have to go to Florida or West Texas for a little fun.
It's going to be too hot for Dawn's regular Sunday outing tomorrow. We'll take her to the alternate park anyway, just so she can sniff around a little before heading for the ice cream store. I'm sure she won't miss a walk in the hot sun. She does like her ice cream though.
