Here's a podcast about the benefit of naps. I knew that I was a trendsetter!

My former college's closing made CNN. Too bad that it wasn't earlier, when they were looking for a donor.

I've decided to start washing my hair every other day, and see if that helps my scalp. I ordered a shower cap.

State Farm continues to impress me. The local office ( Read more... )

I have a really dry scalp that flakes. I found a dry scalp treatment that you use once a week. Worth a try. Actually, a site said to use coconut oil, so I'll try that first. No, actually I'm going to try V05 Hot Oil Treatment. I used to use it years ago and it's inexpensive, so it's worth a try.

Farmers was more expensive than Liberty Mutual. I ( Read more... )

I saw a reference to the Open Path Psychotherapy Collective, and they have some promising therapists with online therapy at good hours. Must look into it. They also have online classes. I'm eyeing their self-esteem, and anxiety and stress classes.

I've been trying some shampoo and conditioner that I used to use called Eufora. It has stripped off ( Read more... )

Got up early and got my hair cut. And then I dropped off the dead printer and monitor for recycling after getting a little confused as to where to go. And the recycling didn't cost me anything! And the printer and monitor are out of my kitchen!

Had a nice nap. Started laundry. Went to the storage place and went through four boxes of books and ( Read more... )

I made an appointment to get my hair cut, finally, on Tuesday morning. It looks pretty bad.

I couldn't find Zara anywhere and was walking around calling her. I finally noticed her on top of the wicker chest in the bedroom. She didn't make a sound.

Napped. And I overslept and lost the afternoon, so I'm going to stay home.

Napped again. Ate dinner ( Read more... )

I did get up at 8:30 AM. I really want to go back to sleep though, so I think that I'll wait to go get my snow shovel. I do have a small one in the car if necessary.

It's clearly Zara snuggle season. She comes running as soon as I sit at the kitchen table. (She ignores me during the summer.)

Studied Italian. My Italian lesson went okay, but the ( Read more... )

Woke up at 9 after some strange dreams. One was that I was visiting with my ex-husband. (His wife was in the dream too.) I think that I was looking for a job in the area (in California). The other was that I was doing some work on a Melissa Etheridge tour. We were still in California. Someone asked me where are some good restaurants in Sunnyvale, ( Read more... )

Hmm. Noom has a recipe for homemade applesauce with frozen yogurt. That might replace my pie addiction. But it's a lot of work.

Oh hell. I didn't thaw my chicken for tomorrow night. I night have to thaw it in the microwave.

Hmm. Respect is playing in Bloomington and Springfield.

Woke up to rain.

Hmm, Noom says that I should make oatmeal with ( Read more... )

I'm driving the people at eSalon crazy. At first, I asked for a darker color next time, but now I like the color that they sent, so I asked them to change it back. The "colorist" is probably muttering about me. When I see my mom, I'll ask her opinion on whether it should be darker or not.

Another kind of gray and sleepy day, but no rain. I wound ( Read more... )

I requested the book that inspired Nomadland from the library.

Had my "loaded" oatmeal with butter, bananas, and almonds. It was good and filling.

Gloomy day. They're expecting rain later, which might put the kibosh on my plan to weed and thin the lettuce. It might be easier to do after the rain though. Hmm, a Web site that I read said to wait to ( Read more... )
