Always a good day when I get to spend $500 on books. For the library, that is. I want to read some of the books myself, but will give others first crack at them.
And hey, the garbage disposal people left a recycling bin! A rare sighting in Central Illinois.
I signed up for frequent flyer programs for American (flight out to Austin) and United (flight back). I was hoping to get free checked luggage, but you have to have a certain number of points first. Oh well. I stupidly put my middle initial instead of my middle name on the United account, though, and they won't let me change it without a signed and notarized affidavit, so I need to call them and cancel the account, and start over.
They're predicting the dreaded "wintry mix" (a.k.a ICE) tonight after midnight. I was wondering if I should go get some cat food tonight or tomorrow night, and I guess that settled that. I'm not close to out of cat food, but need more to make it to the end of the month.
Also, there's ice skating tomorrow night, so I want to go straight home.
I was reading about the health benefits of a sauna. If I do the $25 fitness thing from Blue Cross Blue Shield, I'd have access to an L.A. Fitness gym in Springfield with a sauna. And a pool! I'm planning to join a Toastmasters club two Fridays a month in Springfield after I get past the cost of boarding the cats while I'm in Austin. I could go to the gym afterward. They also have a Zumba class on Fridays that I'd also like to try.
My left hand is really bothering me, so I want to get it checked out on Friday.
