Overslept a little, but still got up at 5 AM. Tired, but it's manageable.

The guys came and were complimentary about how I cleaned the place up. They did a fantastic job and were fast.(I'll leave them a good review on Yelp.) But when I tried to pay on Venmo, it wouldn't go through with my debit card. I tried entering my bank account number, but ( Read more... )

Well, I didn't get up really early, but I did wash out the tub in the guest bathroom. It's a start. I want to clean the rest of the bathroom today to make progress.

I think that it's telling that I found a vet for the girls in Urbana before I found a doctor for me :) I need to look for a dentist too, but my dentist gave me a list of dentists ( Read more... )

Persistence pays off: I was approved for the house in Urbana!!!! I'll be very happy there. I've paid the deposit and have an appointment to sign the lease on Monday. And a lot of places are walking distance from the house, including the library and the Unitarian Church! And the Urbana Park District has an indoor pool and yoga and tai chi classes ( Read more... )

My programming instructor changed my assignment to be due on Monday instead of Friday. I still need to work on it, but I can take a nap first. Couldn't sleep, so I guess that it's homework time.

My dad told me to put my retirement money into a money market account until the market gets less volatile. He also suggested that I put my aunt's money ( Read more... )

I started making a packing checklist for my trip to Chicago this weekend. This one is complicated because I need to bring packing materials and moving materials with me to Chicago, plus some tools. At least it's just an overnight as far as clothes go.

Talked to Mom briefly to tell her that I got the credit card for her account. She still isn't ( Read more... )

I think that I need a yoga practice. The people leading the meditations for the Smithsonian have a yoga background. It's something to investigate. Hmm, a yoga studio in Champaign offers a 50+ class on Saturday afternoons. But with the cost of gas, that could be expensive. They also offer the class online, but I'd like to go face to face first. I ( Read more... )

Hmm. I'd kind of like to spend some time on Lake Michigan this summer, but I have too much on my plate. I'll look at hotels though. Note to self: New Buffalo Inn and Spa. Go for a walk on the beach and then get a spa treatment :) Oooh: Total Relaxation Package: Relax and have the ultimate Spa Day with an 80 Minute Massage, a Custom Facial and an ( Read more... )

I was going to get rid of both my filing cabinets that are in storage, but now I'm thinking that I'll keep one for work files. I have a bunch of files at the office that I need to bring home.

I went and got a COVID test over lunch due to the shindig tomorrow. (It was negative.) I also went to a bank to deposit a check in my Capital One account, ( Read more... )

I've decided to make Black Bean and Butternut Squash Burritos, after I make spaghetti. Mediterranean Stuffed Pitas sounds good too. Note to self: see if Meijer in Champaign has whole-wheat pitas and tortillas.

I made an appointment to have a COVID rapid test tomorrow because I'm going to the shindig in Champaign in Friday. I also made a note to ( Read more... )
