I'm thinking of buying a small TV for upstairs after I get the check from my aunt's estate because I can get one for $100, and getting the old one fixed probably would cost that much. I'm expecting to hear that my toe is healed when I go to the doctor next week. I need to spend some treadmill time. And do exercises. I plan to start up yoga again ( Read more... )

The hotel bed was such a soft and cozy nest. I wish that I could have taken it with me.

I am feeling completely overwhelmed. I'm trying to do stuff to move us along. I was outside rearranging some stuff in the van, and Mom needed my help in the bathroom. She said that she screamed for me, but I didn't hear her. So right now I'm just sitting here, ( Read more... )

My aunt's nephew told me that there will be no place for me to sleep at my aunt's house next weekend. My mom will sleep in the recliner. He told me that he'd buy an air mattress if I wanted, but I said that I was too old for air mattresses, and he laughed. I booked a hotel for me to stay at. He said that he'd reimburse me for the hotel (or actually ( Read more... )

Woke up a little before when my alarm went off. I'm feeling tired. Zara made a big fuss over me.

My Google Fi order is still showing "out for delivery". I routed it to Walgreens because FedEx said that it would be delivered yesterday. Hmm. Okay, I got a text that it arrived.

Got my laptop set up again. I'm early for Italian. Italian went well. My ( Read more... )

Well, I overslept and got up at 6 AM. At least I'm well-rested.

Well, crap. My TaskRabbit mover canceled. I tried to book two new people for today. We'll see what happens. Now I'm not sure what to do. Okay, I found two more people. I hope that they will show up. I'm resting for a moment with Zara on my lap, and then I'll hit the road.

I made good ( Read more... )

I got the U-Haul truck, but it was kind of a hassle. The app made me re-enter everything that I entered last night to streamline the process. Bah. But I've got it. I'll have to get used to driving it. Sandy, my pet sitter, who drove my car back, also said that it was the cutest little U-Haul, which is what I think too. I fell out of the cab of the ( Read more... )

Mom is driving me crazy. She wants me to order her an Uber to get her to the doctor tomorrow. Then she'll call me to order her an Uber to get her back. I told her that I was in a meeting tomorrow at 10, and she said "Well, they aren't being very generous, are they?" And she said that she stayed in Chicago for two months when her mom died. Then she ( Read more... )

I started making a packing checklist for my trip to Chicago this weekend. This one is complicated because I need to bring packing materials and moving materials with me to Chicago, plus some tools. At least it's just an overnight as far as clothes go.

Talked to Mom briefly to tell her that I got the credit card for her account. She still isn't ( Read more... )

I'm telling Zara that she's a stomach with legs. She wants her lunchtime snack! Actually, she gained a little weight and looks good. She was very thin before.

I had a bad case of the "don't wannas" (plus I've been fighting a headache all day) for class, but I attended anyway.

I picked out a day to take off so that I can look at places in ( Read more... )

Italian went okay. We talked for a full half-hour about what was going on. My teacher wished me a good trip.

I tried to nap, but couldn't. Zara was blissfully asleep next to me though. When I was loading the car, Zara was in the kitchen watching me run around, wondering what I was doing.

I made it okay to Chicago, although I hit some heavy rain ( Read more... )
