Oh wow, the apple-spinach salad is delicious! The goat cheese really adds to it. I gobbled it up! It's going on my regular lunch rotation!

Ugh. I've been feeling scatterbrained the last few days. Making a lot of mistakes. Sigh. But I'm being easier on myself, which is good.

Urgh. I received an email from the iCAN program, and I'm going to have to ( Read more... )

Now I'm wondering if I really want to hike in 93 degree F heat. If it makes my plants wilt, it will likely make me wilt too. Plus they're predicting rain at 5 PM. Hmm. Maybe I'll open the door and step outside and see how it feels. After I feed the hungry cats.

Zara cracks me up. She stays wherever she's hanging out until I get close to feeding ( Read more... )

Woke up late and moved slow, but I got us all fed. Staying at home today. Neighbors are shooting off fireworks. Sigh. At least it's still early.

Best Buy won't recycle monitors in Illinois. Suckage. Staples will, but the program is closed because of COVID.

Now I'm thinking of going to Southern Illinois on Labor Day weekend. I'll get the tires on ( Read more... )

I don't know where Zara is. She's here somewhere, but she picked a good hiding spot. Found her. She went under the bathroom sink and couldn't get the door open. She doesn't meow, but I heard some scratching, and there she was.

I put air in my tires, only to find that I need to buy new front tires because the treads have worn down. Well, I guess ( Read more... )

Found an insulated bag for my trip. I want to bring bagels and cream cheese in case the hotel isn't offering breakfast because of COVID-19. I also want to pick up a sandwich to eat at the State Park. (Hmm, maybe I should get some potato chips too.)

Bought some more cloth masks on etsy. When we go back to work in the fall, I'll need more (although ( Read more... )

There's a wind advisory with some rain. I can hear the wind and rain lashing the outside of the mobile home, but it's cozy in here.

I'm on "computer arrest" with my bank's online chat. Sigh. It took forever before they got to me. Apparently money from the stocks that I sold has to "settle" before transferring it. Who knew. (Personally, I think ( Read more... )

My new monitor is being shipped. UPS doesn't say that the computer is out for delivery, so I don't think that it will arrive today. I hope that it won't come tomorrow because it's supposed to rain. Apparently the computer is still in Canada, so no. The computer is due to come on Wednesday and the monitor on Thursday. Cool beans if that's true.

The no OS computer that I was looking at had no video card. Forget that. I can get a computer that's exactly what I want with Windows 10 installed, so maybe I should just get that. I'll sleep on it. Actually there's one with an enormous SSD drive with Windows installed, and you can get it with dual monitors, which would be very helpful. I'd need to ( Read more... )

I ordered a couple of pairs of black pants because some of mine won't fit. Must assemble the FitDesk pronto.

Speaking of the FitDesk, Zara was going after the Styrofoam, which she's never done before, so I lobbed a pillow at her to get her to leave and shut the door.

Got us fed. Watched a little of the Governor's final COVID-19 briefing, but then ( Read more... )
