RIP John McCain
After procrastinating for a while, I finished the homework for one class. I need to get a notebook for the second class tomorrow. No, I found a binder and some paper. That'll do.
Read a couple of chapters of a book about REITs. It has been helpful already. I've invested in a REIT for senior living centers and nursing homes, and it said that most of the money from health care REITs comes from dividends, not appreciation. I don't feel comfortable investing in apartment REITs, and investing in retail REITs is crazy with all the mall vacancies. Anyway, I learned something. (The autocorrect wants to change REITs to TWITs. Hmm.)
It seems like a lot of investing is finding investments that won't work for you. Though I'm accumulating a list of investments to buy during a recession.
Woke up at 6:30 AM. Went back to sleep. Woke up at 10 AM. Got up, but felt groggy, so I went back to sleep. Woke up at 2 PM. Feel great. Mimi was fractious because she was hungry, but I hastily fed her.
I'm still wondering what's going on in Hawaii, so I decided to look at Hawaii Web cams. Apparently I'm not the only one that had that idea. But now I need to update Flash. I supplied my Facebook account to enter a contest for a free trip to Hawaii. I'm getting "This Webcam is currently not available". Guess that they took them in.
Another local store is going out of business, which doesn't bode well for Lincoln, but everything's 50% off. I've never had much luck with their clothes, but they have a set of cast-iron skillets that I want to get when I get paid.
I cleaned the kitchen listening to Canine Confidential. Interesting, so far. I forgot to mention that I was out for a walk, and a dog that I thought would greet me growled at me. I backed up and fell over the curb. His human said that she didn't know why he did that and usually he was friendly, and I said that there must have been something about me that he didn't like.
Mom is going to visit my aunt and uncle in Chicago next week. She said that she was going to get an early start and would stop if she needed to rest.
And rest in peace, John McCain. I didn't agree with all his political stances, but he was a good and honorable person. We need more good people in politics.
