How to Get "Across the Pond"
Comcast was down when I first woke up this morning, but luckily, it was up by the time that I started work. (I'm working from home today.)
I ran out at 4 PM to get receipts from my eye doctor and dentist for my Flexible Spending Account. The eye doctor wasn't sure how to print an itemized receipt but said that she would call the main office and find out. I got an interesting library book called Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, which also had a meditation CD. I might dig into it on Friday, which I'm going to take off for my birthday. Hmm, it's getting panned on Amazon though. I'm not sure how I ran across it.
I started looking into how to transport pets if I live in Italy for a year when I retire. I'd like to take them across "the pond" on the Queen Mary 2, but you have to make arrangements a year in advance. That would be a cool trip though. Cats get two kennels, one for the litter box and one for "living quarters". Dogs get walked in a special area of the ship. You can visit your pets during the journey. It would be $1836 for me in an inside stateroom. And probably around $1000 per pet, so it would be pricey. Then I could take the pets on a EuroStar train.
Ran out to return a library book, get gas, and get a bottle of soda for work. Now I'm going to sit for a moment and then make a grocery list. I'm trying to figure out what to make for dinner next week. I found a recipe for a Spinach-and-Mushroom Quinoa Bowl that I'm going to try. Hmm, I'm also considering my Spinach and Mushroom Lasagna, but that might be too much spinach and mushrooms. Maybe Peanut Butter Chicken? Oh yeah, I wanted to make Carrot Soup! I also found a recipe for No-Bake Carrot Cake Bars, but they call for Medijool Dates, which I'd probably have to get online? Okay, the Quinoa Bowl and Carrot Soup it is. That sounds disgustingly healthy :)
I'm going to start my nightly tasks in the hope of getting to bed early. I work from the office tomorrow.
