A splendid day of fruitless boiling

My favorite, most comfortable, shoes are on the verge of falling apart. So, I decided to go to DSW in an attempt to replace them. My congenial husband agreed to go with me (yes, to go shoe shopping). We were barely outside when we both wondered if the venture was well conceived. It was in the upper 90s with similarly inclined humidity. For NH, this is absurd.

We ventured forth to the appointed shopping area, where there was not a shaded space to put the car. Not just our car, but any car. The parking lot had no shaded areas whatsoever.

In addition to DSW, we poked around in several other stores. No shoes. We did buy some end-of-season beach towels. But, that was all. So, we went home and took a nap. (We like afternoon naps.)

This evening, we picked up some take-out from Boston Market, and drove over to our church for an evening of games. I played Scrabble, and my husband played Trivial Pursuit. We both did poorly, but we had a good time. Unfortunately, by evening's end, he had a nasty headache which we are blaming on the weather.

When we got home, he immediately fell into bed. I'm about to pop something that I've seen before into the DVD player. This usually helps me unwind and fall asleep.

All in all, a splendid day (albeit nastily hot). Maybe I'll go look for shoes somewhere else tomorrow.

Sounds like a pretty nice day, all things considered. Too bad about the shoes and hubby's headache.
