Managing that cooler in this heat. Earlier this week, temperatures have been in the high 90s.

Having put a few room-temperature water bottles - think that was a mistake.  Should have put frozen bottles in, then tossed a few chilled ones on top.  With this heat, ended up having to buy a bag of ice on Tuesday - which is what i want to get away from.  In this heat, buying ice comes to about $5 weekly.  i'm a tight-wad, and don't care for the extra running, and the lugging - not an age-thing, was always guarded about resources.
