The Art of Travel (Minus the White Gloves)
I'm looking into my Miami trip again. There's no way that I can go this fall with everything going on. But maybe I could go over Spring Break next year? I'm looking for a hotel with a refrigerator and a pool. I probably won't want to go to Italy if the flights are still screwed up. And I could use some serious beach time :) Oh, the U of I has a week off over Thanksgiving, but I'm going to be up to my eyeballs in boxes then. Note to self: Spring Break is March 13 through 17, 2023.
Ack! I got three wrong on my test, but there is a way to do rework for partial credit. I'm glad that it's over!
More ack! A tooth came off of my partial while I was in Michigan, and the earliest that I could get an appointment with my dentist is on 9/28. I do have a spare set; the question is where!
I napped for a while from 5:30 - 7:30 PM. Mow I'm logged into work to make up the time.
Mom called. She's getting a transfusion on Saturday and wants me to order her an Uber. This time, I'll remember the time change.
Mimi is loving me up and quacking at me. She doesn't meow; she quacks. I have a defective cat :)
Okay, for those who were worried that I was going to spend too much money on suitcases, I got a TravelPro set of a carry on and medium checked luggage in Champagne for slightly over $300. It was on sale for $70 off. Much cheaper, and it's a decent brand. Now I'm looking into compression packing cubes. And a slash-proof backpack. Okay, I found a backpack that I want, but beige is sold out. I could get black, but I'd rather have it match my luggage.
Someone on OKCupid sent a nice message that she just moved to Champaign and is looking for friends, so I need to send her a message this weekend. There's someone else in Galesburg that I want to message too.
I need to run to the grocery store, and I'm trying to figure out what to eat. I think that I'll get frozen dinners for Friday and Saturday, and I'll figure out what I want to actually cook on the weekend. It sounds like too much trouble now.
I want to take voice lessons again. I can't afford hour-long lessons, but I could take half-hour lessons. I found a teacher that intrigues me, but I need to wait until I know when I'll be up in Chicago. I needed to look at times for voice lessons to know when I'll be available for a study session for one of my classes. Things are complicated.
I tried to pay my utility bill, and it wouldn't let me log in. Gremlins abound. Okay, I was able to pay it on my phone.
I went to the store hungry and came back with lots of food. I could skip cooking on the weekend, but that would beg the question of what I would do next week.
