OK – getting into quilting the winter quilt, but it was pushing 100F today, so my willingness to sit with a fairly good-sized quilt around me was, shall we just say, limited.
Most of what I did was work on test “fill patterns” to fill up all that white space.

I got up this morning and decided I’d do errands and hope to get back before the worst of the heat. I went to the post office where there was a package. For ME! With goodies like a thread sample color chart and some sample spools of thread and more! For ME! (love ya bonnie!)
Stopped at the lab where I normally have bloodwork done. I had no instructions for the tests Dr. Z had prescribed. Oh, you mean I need to be in a fasting state for these. Swell. So I’ll go back.
Then to the Doctor’s office to drop off the “goods” for a test they do to **ahem** older people. Oh the humanity of it. Treated myself to a trip to CompUSA, wondering just how big an Epson 1270/80 is. Pretty big. But do-able. While there I saw a woman standing in front of the display of mac laptops.
BTW- I have to say that this is the first time I’ve ever looked at the mac area of compusa in Latham and thought – oh – look – cool. Most of the time it’s – ick – they’re all broken or corrupted. Once I went in while in the market for this here powerbook and none of the laptops were working and most of them had broken keyboards.
Anyway, I say to this older lady — pssst — did you know that Apple is opening a store in Crossgates soon? (no) Yes! in late September!
I felt like I should have had a trenchcoat and slouchy hat on! LOL
Would have cruised to get some prices on plexiglass but it was already about unbearable when I came out of there. Came home and called to make an appointment for a bone density scan. Finally! The person who answered the phone listened to my request and said – oh I think that’s ((mumble mumble)) hold and I’ll get the number. UH, you don’t do those? Nope, this is a cardiology office. Hmmmmm This is the number written on the referral. The whoever who wrote this up wrote xxx-5533 and it should have been xxx-5353 Just a little different.
Call the right number. Set up the appointment. have a glimmer of a thought – explain about the wrong number, and that I have a suspicion that the whoever might have sent the faxed referral to the wrong office. yup – none on file. Great. No problem she says, but GREAT.
Hang up without finding out where the heck this is, call back and get that.
Spent the rest of the day trying to keep me and the cats cool.
