I "Ate My Frog"
I booked an Italian lesson and French lesson. Well, the teacher doesn't like the times. Sigh. I think that we've negotiated times, but she wanted to start next week because she's not feeling well.
Holy cow. My Global Entry application was conditionally approved, and I have an appointment the Monday of Thanksgiving week. Far out. And I have the appointment here, which saves me a trip to Chicago. And there is short-term parking at the airport, but maybe I want to Uber?
I just remembered that I have more vaccines today.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the boxes in storage back here. Maybe I could get a TaskRabbit guy with a truck? I don't really want to rent a U-Haul again.
I went to get my vaccines, but they wanted another card from Blue Cross Blue Shield. I doublechecked my old wallet, but haven't got it. So I need to call them on Monday. I hope that they will send it here. Picked up more batteries and some makeup.
The Total Gym arrived. That plus the BCBS problem sent me into a tizzy, but I remembered what my life coach tells me. I went to look for my to-do list notebook, but it has vanished. So I got one of Mom's old pads of paper, wrote down "Monday" and "Call BCBS". It helped. I sent a message to the TaskRabbit guy. He accepted. The Total Gym is just going to have to spend the night outside because I can't get it up the stairs. I emailed BCBS. Ordered another to-do list notebook.
I can't find the guitar tuner anywhere. I told my teacher, and she said that we could do music theory instead. That turned out to be useful, so I'm wondering if I should add a half-hour for music theory (done). She has decided from working with my voice that I'm a mezzo/alto, which is kind of what I figured. She told me that "my musical instincts are good," whatever that means but I'll take it! I'm starting a song that I don't know at all, "Once Upon a Dream" from Jekyll and Hyde.
By the way, I didn't do 1SE again last month. I suck.
I was obsessing about how I didn't want to get the dead possum out of the basement. So I told myself that if I did that, I could have the rest of the evening off to work on my blog or my video. That worked. I tried to pick it up with a shovel, but wound up having to use my mom's grabber. "Older people's stuff" can be useful!
The WordPress theme that I was using for the blog is buggy and wouldn't do what I want. So I bought another theme. But it somehow has gotten late, so I'll work with it some other day.
Added: Okay, I've got my blog site set up. Now I need to write some blog posts. Tomorrow after doing my task for the house.
