zhelana mentioned an online writer's workshop this weekend. I'm interested in the memoir writing and poetry writing sessions, so I registered. I'm not sure what time zone the sessions are in--Pacific Time because it's sponsored by the San Diego Writers group?

Miss Loudmouth Mimi wants me to go back upstairs. I told her no, I need to go to sleep. She also ( Read more... )

I was wondering how far Puerto Rico was from Florida. Two hours flight time. That explains the long flight from Chicago.

Zara is clinging to me. I was missed. And Mimi is glued to my lap.

Woke up with my alarm for once. it's a gray, rainy day.

I checked into the airfare to St. Lucia and, wow, it's expensive. I looked for Oceania to send me a ( Read more... )

Depressing morning. I overslept because I stayed up quite late. I still can't believe it.

I'm wondering if I should get a light box to deal with my S.A.D. The last time that I had one, I experienced racing thoughts when I looked into it, which isn't good. But depression isn't good either.

Thunderstorm again?

A health newsletter suggested apple ( Read more... )

Overslept but made it to Italian. My Italian is definitely rusty. (We missed a couple of lessons.) I told her about the vet visits, and she felt sorry for the cats.

I'd like a Pilea Chinese Money Plant. They're safe for cats. I should wait until I get back to order it though. And it might be too late to mail it?

Mimi is picking at her wet food ( Read more... )

Overslept and didn't get a chance to take a shower.

The trust said that they are sending my check overnight mail today. I'll get up earlish tomorrow to see if the check is here, and, if so, to deposit it at the bank.

The real estate agent for Mom's house sent me an invitation to a real estate listing site, which is promising, but the listing isn ( Read more... )

I heard a weird noise that sounded like a bowl rolling around on the floor. I came downstairs to investigate, and Zara had flipped her food bowl over. I’m not entirely sure how she did that. She was being manic. I lay down for my lunchtime nap and she snuggled in next to me.

I already have enough vacation time for my trip in November plus some ( Read more... )

Overslept but made it on time for work. I'm tired. Mimi is watching kitty TV, the birds and squirrels in the tree in the back yard.

Forgot to mention that my baby spider plants are doing really well. One is getting kind of big!

The Lawn Love people applied fertilizer and weed killer to my lawn, so I can't seed it right now. Sigh. That rec has ( Read more... )

I paid for my Italian lessons and some music lessons last night. I couldn't get a full 45 minutes this week with my piano teacher, so I booked 30 minutes.

My groceries arrived. Brought them in and fed the cats and myself.

Overslept my lunchtime nap. I don't know why I'm so sleepy right now. The cats are being extra-snuggly, maybe because it's ( Read more... )

Overslept but made it to breakfast. Texted the real estate guy from Mom’s house, and he came over to discuss the weeding that needed to be done. I closed my eyes for a half-hour, loaded the car and left.

But the route that I usually take was closed. And the GPS on my phone routed me to I-94, which I didn’t want to take. I’m trying to figure out ( Read more... )

Got up early. Put the hose away.

I'm "backup on-call" at work right before winter break, so I can't leave for New York (assuming that I go to New York) before the weekend. Why do I think that we have a concert that weekend? Must check. No, it's the week before. Good.

I'm wondering about Mom's house. I must check the progress when I'm up on the ( Read more... )
