Styling :)
Cats: Good, you’re up. Feed us. (Well, feed me. I could care less if you feed the other one.) I heard some hissing before I fed them.
Hmm. The organizer said that the foyer closet was full of photos, but I looked, and there was a bunch of books and maps and stationery. I was going to get a TaskRabbit person to pack the Christmas ornaments and photos, but I don’t have enough to fill her time. Once I get my clothes for Hawaii packed, she could pack my summer clothes. Hmm, she could pack the Buddha and the dragon from the TV room and some bowls. Hmm, what happened to my packing paper. Okay, I found it. She could pack up the clothes from the crawl space too if I get the stuff out from front of it. Or maybe she could do it. I booked her for Sunday.
Did dishes. Scooped litter boxes. Took a picture of the phone number on the dumpster and moved stuff out of the way so that they can pick it up. Called about the dumpster, and they're going to pick it up tomorrow. The real estate agent came by to talk about power washing and cleaning the gutters. Mower guy is here.
It looks like we have Italian on Sunday and French on Monday. That'll work. I don't want them back-to-back because my brain will implode, plus I have music lessons on Sunday.
The photography teacher talked a lot about Adobe Lightroom, so I bought a tutorial on it, and Photoshop for that matter. Oh, she recommended getting an external drive for photos, so I need to look into that (done--I got a pretty blue-purple one). Wow, the cost of storage has gone way down.
I'm trying to figure out when I can get the living room rug cleaned because I want to take it. I should get the rest of them cleaned for that matter.
I lay down at lunch, but couldn't sleep, not surprisingly, given how much sleep I got last night. So I decided to get up and set up the Apple Watch. Well, it required an update to iOS on my phone, and it's churning through it.
I need to check the account balance on Mom's account because we're churning through it with the organizing, dumpsters, landscaping, etc.
I screwed up one of my knees again. Why is it happening now that I've lost some weight?
The Apple Watch is now set up. Damn, you can do a lot on it. I now understand what "closing the rings" means.
I got the invoice for powerwashing and gutter cleaning. I paid it in full because I know that they'll do it. (See: check account balance!)
The mistake that I made at work turned out to be No Big Deal. Good.
DailyLook is sending me a nastygram, so I need to be sure to try the clothes on. And probably cancel it because I don't really need more clothes from them.
Hmm. I can sell the Sense 2 for $50 for someone else to sell or can try to sell it myself and get more. I'm learning towards the first option to get it out of my hair. I have a lot of stuff to deal with!
I was reading an article about "timeless" items French women over 50 have in their wardrobes, and I bought some used clothes on eBay to match. Except for pumps. I don't do heels. Actually, I found some pumps with a low heel that I might try. Ankle boots were listed too, and I have some. I think that I've figured out my clothes for the Kauai flight: black knit top, black yoga pants, black-and-white tweed blazer that I just bought, black ankle boots, and a black-and-white fake fur coat that I just bought. Hmm, maybe a trench coat would be better than the fake fur coat (done--I bought a wool trench coat). I also have a black and silver sweater that I could wear on one of the plane flights. Maybe I could wear it over a black t-shirt so that I can just take it off when I get to Kauai. I booked a haircut for a week from Sunday.
Yikes, I need to book a shuttle to and from the airport. And the pet sitter.
My Apple Watch told me to get up and walk around, and I did get up and walked up and down the stairs. Checked on Mimi, who was waiting for me to come lie down, but she came downstairs (hoping for food, no doubt).
Fed the girls and myself. Now I’m lying down to stretch my knee out. I brought my camera book because I don’t think that I can sleep. Hmm, I should bring my camera upstairs to look at it. Okay, I understand the camera a lot more. And my knee got a nice rest.
I got the recycling out, and my knee has been complaining. I’ve been walking around going “Fffffff!” I’m taking a break before I get the garbage and rubbing my knee. I got the garbage out.
Tried on my Daily Look clothes. They seem to forget that I'm a petite. But! They had a pink vegan leather blazer that I totally love! I kept a green blazer too. I'm wondering if I should try a box for petites. I'll try them after I get back from Kauai. Or maybe from Kauai.
It's getting late, and I'm trying to get more sleep, plus I want to get to work early because I need to leave early to meet the guy who is taking stuff to and from storage. So I need to go to sleep.
