Woke up at 7 AM. Fed the girls and myself. Now I’m going to nap.

Crud. Someone else bought the mixer. I should have bought it. I’ll keep combing eBay for another one. I bought another one. It was a little more expensive but had free shipping, so it’s about the same.

Got some Zara snuggles, which is good for what ails me. Had a nice nap.

Suckage ( Read more... )

Yep, a light dusting of snow. I pulled out my down jacket, and it's warm, but I need to get my gloves out of the car.

Started to get the recycling out, but the bins were full. I rolled them to the curb. Wanted to get the dahlias in, but I couldn't find the plant clippers, which I need to cut the plants down before I bring them in. My pet sitter ( Read more... )

If I go to New York in December, I'd like to see the Statue of Liberty. I've never been there. (I can't forget Jon Stewart's monologue after 9/11 when he said that he used to see the World Trade Center from his house but now he sees the Statue of Liberty. This is going to be my post-9/11 trip among other things. And yes, I'm going to go to the 9/11 ( Read more... )

Woke up on time for once. Mimi is hanging out on my lap.

My other cube storage organizer and the furniture for the porch arrived. I’ll get an assembly guy out here next week, and try to do as much decluttering as I can on the library room this weekend to have some of the bookcases built also.

Made an appointment with a new doctor. I tried to make ( Read more... )

Had a good Italian lesson. My teacher is taking two weeks off, so we will start again at the end of the month.

I was about to leave for the DMV when I realized that I'd need proof of insurance for my mom's car. I haven't been able to get into my account, so I had to call the insurance company. They wound up deleting my profile, but they sent me ( Read more... )

I also ordered the CD with "Walking in Memphis" (Marc Cohn). Great song.

Overslept again. I need to stop staying up late. And I need to find my obnoxious alarm clock.

Got my grocery order. A turnover fell out of the bag. I'm trying to decide whether to complain to Walmart or not. I did and got a refund.

Mimi is crashed out in her spot on the ( Read more... )

I have to get the upstairs cleaned up before Thursday because a guy is coming to assemble the standing desk in the morning. I hate this about myself, but I do better with a deadline.

Zara is being a cuddle bug this morning. Napped. Shut my alarm off and slept for another 45 minutes.

Did dishes while making my lunch. I need to submit a grocery ( Read more... )

Woke up at 7:30 AM. Yay.

At work. Mimi wants to get some snuggles in before it gets too hot. I'm being smart and wearing shorts today. We were talking yesterday about the heat; my boss was wondering if she would make it through the presentation due to the heat, but she rallied. Eeek. Now Italy has the heat too. I'm keeping an eye on the weather in ( Read more... )

Up at 4 AM. I bought Jhumpa Lahiri’s book in Italian and Marie Kondo’s book. Complaining cat (Mimi) is complaining.

Mimmo posted a bunch of photos.

I’m reading Bernie Taupin’s book and it’s interesting. He’s discussing one of my fave songs (“Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters”). I sang the song.

Slept until 9 AM. Hmm, my back is twisted. My plan of ( Read more... )

Oh ack, it’s going to be in the 90s on Sunday. I need to get up early to mow.

Woke up at 4AM. I wonder how long it will take until I get back to getting up later.

Zara has decided that my suitcase is a perfect kitty bed.

“Just A Song Before I Go” (Crosby, Stills, and Nash) is playing in my head.

Fed the cats. Had breakfast. I think that I’ll go ( Read more... )
