I was looking online at houses and condos in Madison, and found a condo on the shore of Lake Monona. If I had the money right now, I'd be tempted. I'm now thinking that a condo might be a better idea because they'd take care of the lawn and snow removal. I also looked at volunteer opportunities at the Olbrich Gardens. That would be fab.

I guess if I need mending done, I should take a trip. I just fixed a blazer that had been on my mending list all summer long.

A gray and drizzly day. Well hmm. I was waiting at the wrong bus stop for the bus and missed it. (To be fair, the bus stop is kind of hidden. And you need to go away from downtown to go downtown. Bus logic :)) I went back ( Read more... )

Oh wow. I have potatoes coming up! Cool!

Busy day at work. I did try to call my hair stylist, but didn't get an answer. I'll call about my GRE scores tomorrow or Friday.

Interesting. Heartland is looking for tutors, and they say that I qualify. But I'd have to drive to Normal to do it, so probably not.

I'm looking at a trip to Clearwater, but ( Read more... )

Woke up eightish. Had a kitty squabble because both Mimi and Zara were peering at me from the doorway, and they were too close.

Mimi thinks that it's a work day because I woke up at the usual time, fed them, and I was sitting in the office posting to LJ. She's settled on my lap. I need to go eat breakfast, so I see some disappointment happening.

I found beginners crochet and knitting classes on Zoom that won't break the bank. The only thing is that the knitting class is on a two-hour lunch during the week, but it's only two sessions, so I probably could work it out.
Okay, they're repeating the crochet one in August, so I just need to attend the knitting one now. I booked the class.

Eeek! ( Read more... )

I had the impulse to ask for Friday off to have a four-day weekend, but I have stuff that I'll need to finish off on Friday. And it might carry over into Tuesday, so I can't take that off too. But then we'll have some glorious open time.

I looked into New Orleans and Florida for snowbird purposes, and the cheapest way would be to buy a condo in ( Read more... )

Oh crud. I just realized that I didn't unblock the drainage hole on the bean pot. And it's pouring. I looked at it this morning, and it seemed okay, although I didn't take a close look.

I had to call the complex management because they are inspecting fire extinguishers, and I didn't have any that came with the unit. They said that there was ( Read more... )

I'm thinking of blowing off my singing class. All we're doing is learning "La Vie en Rose", which doesn't interest me that much. Then I could take my nap early and then get stuff done.

I saved my garden planting calendar. I need to plant peas in mid-July and carrots at the beginning of August. And I found some late potatoes.

Oh excellent. I got ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention yesterday that I told Mom that I might not take my Oregon trip, and she was talking about the protesters in downtown Portland plus how people are freaking out on planes. It might take a while for things to shake down.

Better get a move on. Zara keeps coming over to me and making her food noise. A Mommy's work is never done. ( Read more... )

My Italian teacher asked to start at 1 PM tomorrow, but I've got my voice class. I asked if he could record the class, and he's going to try Zoom.

I sent an email to my dad, who's in Nevada, about his weather. He said that they've had very hot weather, which is especially weird because they had a late snow in May, but it's supposed to cool down ( Read more... )
