~No AC or heat on
~Took lunches to work (DH and leftover for me) and to school (DS#2 and DS#3)

No a/c yet -- open windows and fans

At the grocery store took time to weigh all the produce with a set price per item. Found heads of romaine and leaf lettuce that were both a half pound (!) heavier than average. Also stretched the pennies with celery, peppers, green onions, cucumbers.

Returned an item to Walgreens that I decided I could not use on my skin

Checked out books from the library

Combined seven or eight errands that fell in a loop on the east side of town. Will stay home tomorrow or pick up two things (only two, I promise) that I need from Walmart, but that's just down the block and around the corner.
