Oh, what a morning. I woke up early, but decided to go back to sleep until right before work. Logged on, and was going through my email right before a meeting, when the outlet in which I have the router and laptop plugged in stopped working. I kind of freaked out. Then I discovered that the power was out, and I thought, "Okay". I went outside for a ( Read more... )

I found the Mother Lode of clip-on earrings on Etsy. I found a pair of amber and wood ones that I really like.

I really wasn't thrilled with the Wantable clothes, so I'm going to try Daily Look.

Woke up around 9AM. Did my usual morning routine. It's starting to rain, so I moved the cars off of the grass so that the side lawn will get rain. Plus I ( Read more... )

I want to walk to get some exercise, but the air quality index is high (polluted). So I need to go to the gym to use the treadmill. Goal for today: get my gym clothes together. The local gym is open to 11PM during the week, which helps.

Woah. I asked ChatGPT to list stocks with a P/E (price-to-earnings ratio) under 30, and it provided a list. I ( Read more... )

The TaskRabbit person is coming on Sunday to start bagging Mom's clothes and packing pictures. She sounds nice.

I couldn't find my beachy shoes until I found them under a chair. I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt and the shoes today. It got fairly hot.

The mower guys came and mowed. I've got the manual sprinkler going and am moving it ( Read more... )

I just realized that I can't contact the pond guy about the sprinklers because I have my meditation group at 5. Oh well. Tomorrow.

How'd it get to be Wednesday already?

I dropped the Kia off at a dealership to be diagnosed and, I hope, fixed. I like that dealership. The guy who dropped me back at the house thought that the house was beautiful. I ( Read more... )

I remembered that I had a photo of Mom on Facebook. I tried to print it on Walgreens Photo site, but it said that it was too low resolution. I found software that used AI to increase the resolution of photos. It changed the colors slightly, but it looked pretty good. So I ordered a matted and framed print of it to pick up same-day.

Apparently ( Read more... )

I stayed up stupidly late last night thinking about school and stuff. I took a nap over lunch, but I've been kind of brain dead.

I did make it to yoga. Whenever I do yoga, I think about how much I like it, but the trick is making the time to go to the class (and practice outside of class?) I'd like to take the time to follow some of the Adriene ( Read more... )

Zara was sprawled out on the bed when I went to bed, so yeah, it's the heat that's bugging her.

I heard the guy working on the air conditioning, but he didn't knock on my door, and it's not fixed. He came back later and fixed it, but no one told me that it was fixed. I called the complex office, and they told me that it should be fixed. The place ( Read more... )

I marked all the yoga poses in the book for balance practice. Now all I need is air conditioning so that I don't melt.

A friend on Facebook mentioned the Tori Amos song "Winter," and I think that I want to work on it for singing class. I ordered the sheet music for Little Earthquakes.

I was unable to fall asleep until 5 AM because I was too hot ( Read more... )

I attended the Smithsonian meditation today, but had a bad case of "monkey mind". I was worrying about some work and personal stuff. I need to work on clearing my mind better (but worrying about not clearing my mind won't work!)

I received my Italian Picture Dictionary and Coloring Book. I don't know much coloring that I'll do in it (though that ( Read more... )
