I had my Italian lesson this morning. It went well, but we're working on listening exercises, which are hard, so I need to practice them. Mimi decided to walk on the laptop in the middle of the lesson! Thanks, cat!

I think that today I'll just collapse after choir rehearsal, but later this week I really need to clean the upstairs. I have to say ( Read more... )

The BBC has a story about buying old houses in Puglia, and in it, a guy was speaking Italian. It reminded me how much I like listening to Italian. I understood part of it.

Got up early. Threw myself together and fed the cats. Mimi, apparently, is sleeping in.

Well, crud. I couldn’t find my purse anywhere. I finally remembered that I brought it ( Read more... )

Heck. I didn’t think about this, but I wonder if I’ll need a new passport after I lose weight. I read a Web site that said yes.

Ow. I fell down the last few stairs and hit my shoulder.

Checked the weather and Monday is going to be the coolest day, so I’ll do some weeding and build my compost bin then.

Zara was sharpening her claws on my new-to- ( Read more... )

Oh crap. I lost my entire entry that I wrote in Google Keep. I can re-create the parts that I also posted to Facebook. I'll see what else I remember.

I think that I want to get a shoe bench with a top that flips up for storing hats, gloves, and scarves. I like this one.

My Web programming class went well. I'm really enjoying it.

Had a therapy ( Read more... )

Oh great. Excessive heat warning for today though Tuesday.

Wayfair is having a “clear-out” sale. Hmm.

I have a taste for Lean Cuisine pizza, so I'm coming up with a grocery list to include it.

The exercise coach is driving me crazy. She asks me if I have time to meet, I suggest a time, and then she vanishes to reappear the next day, asking me ( Read more... )

I have some hassles going on at work and might need to work this evening. Zara says that she’ll make everything better with kitty snuggles. And a lot of my colleagues will be online tonight too.

Crap. I way overslept my nap. Had my second Tony Bourdain dream ever. He was nice in the dream.

Scrambled to get some stuff done at work.

Attended ( Read more... )

I got myself together for my Italian lesson and was waiting, when I remembered that she had a conflict and wanted to do it on Wednesday. Oops.

I'm down seven pounds. Yay.

My Italian keyboard is not working even with new batteries, so back it goes. There's a Logitech one that should work, but it is more expensive, so I'm waiting to get paid again ( Read more... )

My work computer was impacted by the Microsoft issue, so I'm dead in the water. I can access email and I'm going to do a couple of Zooms this afternoon on my personal computer (done--I'm glad that I was still able to get some work done).

I had originally thought of putting framed posters on the slanted walls upstairs, but I don't know how to hang ( Read more... )

I’ve been filling out a profile for Stitch, which a site for 50+ people that you can use to make friends. But they want a picture of me holding a code, and I’m in my pajamas, so no.

A pair of my glasses is missing. I can’t figure out what I did with them. I guess that I need to order another pair.

The bookcases have arrived. I wrestled four of ( Read more... )

Woke up early, decided to go back to sleep for an hour, and overslept. Took the world's fastest shower and slapped on makeup. Only to find that my Jenny Craig appointment was a phone call, not a video call. Oops. The cats are not happy that I haven't fed them yet.

Hot damn. The money for the bookcases has been credited to my account, so I can buy ( Read more... )
