Saturday, June 21, 2025

Last night we went to bed at 10:45pm, I got up once at 2:45 (took about an hour to fall back asleep), finally waking/getting up at 7am with Teresa.

Today is officially the first day of Summer.

We left the apt at 8:30 and had breakfast in Egg Harbor in The Glen for $53.66, including tip. .

BREAKFAST

My old cellphone allowed me to resize photos before emailing them but this new phone doesn’t give me that option and/or I don’t know how to do it.

Afterward, I had planned on walking around the area but in the direct sunlight Teresa said it was too hot today.

I drove to Beck Lake and we walked on their forest preserve trail for about 20 minutes.



We returned to the apt and there was a box on the porch with a heater for us to use in our freezing basement apt.

I drove us to ubreakifix in Arlington Heights where I got a screen protector installed for $38.49 but they didn’t have a case for my cellphone. We parked in a municipal parking lot and walked over to some streets closed off for restaurants. Teresa chose Scratchboard Kitchen



where she ordered the half chicken and I a burger with fries.




The itemized bill:

$25.00 – Smash burger

$3.00 – Coke

$35.00 – half roasted chicken

$2.52 – 4% service charge

$7.86 – tax

$15.00 – tip

$88.36 – TOTAL

Teresa didn’t like the chicken, said it tasted old, so I ended up paying $88 for a burger, fries, and a Coke?

I drove to Target looking for a cellphone case but all I saw were for iPhones.

Back at the apt I plugged in the new heater in the living room and a lot of the lights went out. I contacted our host and she told me the location of the circuit breakers. After a couple tries, I finally figured out the television, laundry room lights, half the kitchen lights, and half the living room lights and the two outlets on the north wall were on the same circuit. The only thing that worked is I could plug the new heater in the bedroom and the cord would just barely reach under the door to the living room. But at least now we have some heat.

 

FUNNY
