Ack! I woke up with my alarm, but decided to go back to sleep for a little while and take my shower at lunchtime. I set my alarm for the wrong time and overslept an hour. I forgot to mention that my alarm clock other than my phone is not working. I'm trying to decide what to order because these alarm clocks don't last long. I bought a different ( Read more... )

I did get up early and shave my legs. But then I realized that I need to trim my toenails too. I'll do that after work. Also, I want to get another lock for the gym locker from Home Depot. I have one with a fixed combination, but I'll never remember it. I want one that I can set!

I'll need to stop at Meijer after swimming for a new belt and ( Read more... )

Cat wrangling this morning. Mimi stopped eating her food, and I think that she wanted to eat Zara’s food, but I stopped her. Zara wound up eating Mimi’s food. Ha! (Zara is skinny and Mimi is chunky, so it's okay if Zara eats Mimi's food, but not vice versa.)

Got my brows waxed and laminated. I made another appointment in December. Now I just need ( Read more... )

I wound up changing my Daily Look box to four times a year, so the order that I didn't want got canceled.

I can't find the pajamas that I ordered from Walmart, so I ordered two pairs to come tomorrow. The pair that I've been wearing is gross and needs washing.

I woke up with my alarm, decided that I needed more sleep, and overslept. I made it on ( Read more... )

The painter guy is here. It was weird taking a shower with thumping noises coming from outside. Zara disapproves. No sign of the power washer yet. He's here and is doing the gutters first. He's dumping gutter debris on the ground, so I'm wondering if I’ll need a TaskRabbit guy to clean up.

Talked to the painter guy (who is the same handyman whom I ( Read more... )

The nice tweed blazer that I was counting on got canceled and refunded on eBay. I found and bought another one. I hope that it gets here before I leave. I'll have a lot more options for blazers when I get my upper body down to a size 16.

I overslept this morning but made it into work on time. Ack. The early meeting that I thought that I had this ( Read more... )

The "Merry Minuet" from the Kingston Trio has been playing in my head.

They're rioting in Africa. They're starving in Spain.
There's hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain.

The whole world is festering with unhappy souls.
The French hate the Germans. The Germans hate the Poles.

Italians hate Yugoslavs. South Africans hate the Dutch.
And I ( Read more... )

Cats: Good, you’re up. Feed us. (Well, feed me. I could care less if you feed the other one.) I heard some hissing before I fed them.

Hmm. The organizer said that the foyer closet was full of photos, but I looked, and there was a bunch of books and maps and stationery. I was going to get a TaskRabbit person to pack the Christmas ornaments and ( Read more... )

I woke to my alarm but then realized that my meeting with the photography teacher is at 1, not noon. That gives me time for a short nap.

The mower guy is coming, and I tried to move the cars, but my mom’s car wouldn’t start. I’ll need to use AAA to start it once I get the new insurance on it.

I had my meeting with the photography teacher. I liked ( Read more... )

The photography teacher got back to me and wants to talk on Google Meet this weekend to see if we're a good fit. Awesome.

Had the real estate walkthough. He said to get the ivy off of the house and do some landscaping. He'll contact me with a landscaper, painter, and roofer. I told him that I would be gone early to mid-November. He said that he ( Read more... )
