I have an appointment for tomorrow to get my car's headlight fixed. Yay.

The uni has a free series of webinars on financial planning, so I signed up. Can't hurt and might help.

I was mulling over adding a trip to Germany onto my bucket list. (Like I need another trip on my list!) I'd like to see Berlin, Munich, and Heidelberg. During World War II, my dad was in a camp for displaced persons near Munich. When I was in high school, he talked about taking a trip with me there, but I freaked because of the Nazi thing and most of my friends were Jewish. But my LJ German friends are cool! I asked him if he wanted to go there now, but he said that it would be too much trouble. Whatever that means. I ordered some library books about Berlin, Munich, and Germany.

I looked at a Rick Steve's tour of Germany, but it is mainly pretty castles, and I kind of want to sit with my mixed emotions and tour the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin and a concentration camp as well as "pretty castles".

That led me to learning German, but whoa, I need to pull myself back. I'd need to study more Italian first before adding something else. (Although German would be a good companion to Italian because it's very different.) What can I say. I love languages. Maybe I could just play with German on Doulingo for the time being.

Hmm. They're predicting a winter storm from Tuesday night through Thursday night with snow up to 8 inches. I wonder if I should cancel the appointment to take the girls to the vet on Friday. (I moved it back a week.) I might not be dug out. I also wonder if I should ask my mower guy to clear the snow.

Took a nap and slept through until morning.
