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... )

Woke up at 5 AM. Went back to sleep. Woke up at 7 AM. This time, I got up.

Hmm. It just occurred to me that I don’t know where my carry-on bag is for the flight. I guess that I’ll look for it today, and if I don’t find it, order one. I was looking at one that matches the bag that I took to Italy, but sheesh, expensive.

Now I’m telling Zara, who ( Read more... )

It just occurred to me that I need a water bottle so that I can take my jet lag supplements, so I ordered one from Amazon.

Zara freaked out last night. I was plugging in my phone, and apparently, she thought that I was trying to grab her. She hissed and swatted me and ran off. Then she came back, but lay down at the foot of the bed.

Overslept my ( Read more... )

Zara is snuggling next to me with her warm little body. Aww.

Overslept. I’ll take my shower at lunch.

Mimi: Hurry up Mommy, I'm starving!!! Me: No, you're not. Now that she ate, she wants to be petted. I told her that she's one spoiled cat.

Hmm. I went to fill out forms for my eye doctor appointment, and got a screen that said that they were ( Read more... )

The outside painting is going to be expensive because he needs to fix rotting wood on some of the sills. I checked the account balance and found, to my horror, that I didn’t have enough money. I sent a panicked note to the trust, and they’re working on a disbursement, but it could take 10 days. I can send them bills in the meantime.

The life coach ( Read more... )

Got the clothes in the dryer. Apparently, I washed the Honda key, but it's still working. Way to go, Honda key. My back is killing me.

Got the app to use for weight loss installed. Logged my first meal. I'm thinking of doing a weight-loss bet through HealthyWage to defray some of my costs (done).

Paid my YMCA bill (it was on my old card) and ( Read more... )

Oh ack. My flexible spending account did not go through this year. I tried to buy Zenni glasses, but it didn't go through, so I checked. I paid for the glasses through my regular bank account.

Expedia sent me an email saying that American Airlines had changed the time of my flights to Hawaii, and I was worried that I wouldn't make my connection in ( Read more... )

Hmm. The junk haulers said between 8 AM and 10, and I was ready, but silence so far. I could have slept later! I've been working on the kitchen table while I wait. I also installed the Picture This app to identify a vine growing in the front yard; it's a grape. It also said that the plant that I like, which we thought was an almond, is a Japanese ( Read more... )

Figured out how much to put in my TIAA-CREF account (it's like a 401K for educators) after I finish funding my flexible spending account. My TIAA-CREF is a time-targeted fund, and I'm also going to fund a Roth IRA that uses an ETF. Still need more money to save though. Ordered some books on side hustles.

Mimi was hanging around the dry food ( Read more... )

I more-or-less woke up to my alarm today. Far out. It's slightly rainy and cooler.

I forgot to mention that I checked out the second season of Victoria from the library. And I have a lot to do this weekend, so I'm not sure how I'm going to make this work. it would give me some time to do some mending though. I also need to see if the new cable ( Read more... )
