I started putting my clothes away in the new dresser. I started with my shorts.

The yoga class for fall is up on the Urbana Park District site. I need to enroll in it.

I’m giving away an extra wallet on the local Buy Nothing site. It’s great for decluttering.

I want to get an over-the-toilet rack for the guest bathroom. There currently is a ( Read more... )

I'm hammered this morning. I couldn't fall asleep until 3 AM and got up at 7:30. I had a nice nap at lunchtime though.

I arrived back with less than $20 in my pocket until I get paid. That trip was expensive, most notably getting the battery replaced. That "free" car is getting expensive, but it's cheaper than getting a new car. (It's older than ( Read more... )

I'm already debating about whether to get a flight or take the train when I pick up Mom's car to drive it back to Illinois. The train would be more eco-friendly, but it would take all day long and get in late. The flight would be faster, even with the bus to O'Hare added in. But I'd need a way to get from the airport to my mom's house. Either way, ( Read more... )

I had problems falling asleep, so I’m really tired. Met the real estate guy and walked through the house. It looks good. They’re doing good work. I agreed to have the basement waterproofing done. The yard looks awful, but we agreed that they would get landscapers in here right before the sale. We’re looking at sometime in September for listing.

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... )

Started watering my plants before my trip.

I received a phishing email that claimed that it was from Comcast. So I logged into my Comcast account and it wasn’t. They did a pretty good job in the email though, good enough to make me check.

I didn’t get up early. I guess that I’ll go to the DMV this afternoon. No, I overslept my nap so I'll go ( Read more... )

Just remembered that I needed to subscribe to Peacock for the Olympics (done)! I'm looking forward to them.

Crap. I need to go up to Michigan soon because the city of Southfield is complaining about my mom’s car parked on the grass. I’ll talk to the trust about booking a trip for me.

Hmm. I could put an air mattress in my mom’s house, but I don’t ( Read more... )

British-American writer Jhumpa Lahiri fell in love with the Italian language and moved to Rome. She's my role model :) I have In altre parole (In other words) in both English and Italian. It's about her relationship to the Italian language. She apparently wrote two more books in Italian, which I just bought.

Oh. I forgot to mention yesterday that ( Read more... )

Got the duplicate title form filled out and ready to mail after yoga.

I found a cool outfit for Italy. It’s a cream blazer with a blue and white top. I just ordered some navy dress pants to go with it. It’ll probably be what I wear to the Vatican. (They have a dress code.)

I asked my dad’s wife Sue if he was okay because he’s not acting like ( Read more... )

I also ordered a hat for Italy. I'll be glad to have it.

I haven’t had time to make any of the HungryRoot Meals. It just occurred to me that I could freeze the meat (done). And I should eat the salad.

Oh good. My mower is in Champaign. It arrived (but they didn’t have me sign for it, which would be a problem if it arrived next week). But yay. I ( Read more... )
