Friday-Saturday
Friday was a low-key day at work as expected. I spent the day cleaning out old emails. I dashed out to get a library book. That's what passes for excitement around here. I also returned books to my old library, but they're gone already, so my card will get blocked for an overdue. No big deal. They'll check them in when they get back.
Lay down for a nap and slept through until 3:30 AM. I think that taking naps and sleeping through is my way of doing self-care, although I always intend to get up. I shouldn't delude myself.
And then I put on pajamas because I need to do laundry :) Zara thinks that she's going to be fed and is standing on my chest to make sure that I notice her. I fed them to chill Zara out.
I'm trying to make an appointment for a COVID test before I go to Mom's house, but Walgreens' app isn't working. I might need to go with CVS.
Napped until 10:30 AM. Read an article about the Christmas market in Strasbourg, France. Maybe I could go there during the year that I spend in Italy. There's a train from Milan to there via Switzerland.
I ordered Pimsleur's subscription plan and ordered a Bluetooth device for my car. I can study Italian on my way to Mom's house. Also, when I'm cleaning here. Which reminds me I also have to contact Sirius to find out what's wrong with my account.
I investigated a Greek class, but the time conflicts with my piano class. Hmm. I'd like to take individual piano lessons, but scraping up the money is an issue. Plus the Greek class isn't cheap. And what I really want to learn is Portuguese, but I'm afraid that I'd confuse it with Italian. I've decided to not do the Greek class. My Pimsleur access has European Portuguese, so I'll work on that.
Tried to nap but couldn't sleep. Good. My sleep tank is full :) My pet sitter is coming by to get money. I need to eat lunch and throw myself together.
Booked a COVID test online at Walgreens for Tuesday.
Got my lazy butt out and drove to Springfield. I picked up my mom's socks. They are SO soft! I wish I had gotten myself a pair. Picked up more cat litter to get the litter boxes clean before I go. Then I wanted to eat at Arby's, but their dining room was closed, so I went through the drive-through and ate in my car. I got ketchup on my coat and on the steering wheel. Bah. Yeah, I suppose that it's safer eating in my car, but I felt cranky about it. Then I went to Aldi's down there. The shopping center was blasting Christmas music, which annoyed me.
Talked to Mom. She's excited about my coming there for Christmas. And she's still exhausted and sleeping a lot.
Cleaned off the kitchen table and got Zara's meds out to show the pet sitter. Organized my Italian for tomorrow. Put clothes in the dryer.
