Walmart gave me a heart attack. I ordered the bookcases from them. I created a Pinterest board with the accent cabinets, the cabinet for my winter hats, scarves, and gloves, and the bookcases. When I looked at the order for the bookcases, it said, “Actual color: Green”. I freaked and opened one of the boxes enough to see the color. It’s the color ( Read more... )

I’m looking at getting an exercise coach to better meet my goals.

Woke up at 6:30 AM. Went back to sleep, overslept, and got up right before 9.

I am really stiff this morning for no good reason.

I got the check from the trust. Yay.

Well, crap. The pool at the uni and in Urbana have hours during which I can't go, unless I go at lunchtime and on ( Read more... )

Woke up at 8:30 AM. Mimi was reluctant to come downstairs for food.

Prairie Gardens is having a 25% off sale on houseplants through Labor Day. I’ll have to check it out.

Hmm. An article in the Washington Post suggests that yoga might help with cognitive decline in older adults.

Had a nice nap. Joined a bunch of gardening and house plant groups ( Read more... )

Oh, I forgot to mention that I got the Ikea fabric box. It's smaller than I thought, but it'll work for the sweaters. I'll order more when I get the check from the trust. Actually, Target has bins that I like better and are cheaper.

I'm investigating Rent My Equipment so that I can rent the tiller when I'm not using it.

I’m feeling dizzy and want ( Read more... )

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 really tired. I overslept and need to take a shower and get money during lunch.

Hmm. Someone is getting rid of a cube organizer that I could use as a bookcase upstairs. But first I need to get the dresser out of my car. Oops, someone else wants it. But a cube organizer is a good idea for bookcases for upstairs. It would be cheaper than formal ( Read more... )

I think that I want the "I Closed My Book to Be Here" t-shirt to wear to the "Walking Book Club". But I'm having a hard time deciding on a color. I'm leaning towards "Army Green," which I'm thinking of as "Garden Green". But I'm open to suggestions :) I have a gazillion navy blue shirts.

I wound up watching some swimming to wind down instead of ( Read more... )

I really wiped out and didn’t get up early. I threw some dirty clothes on so I can get the recycling out (done). It's very humid today.

Mimi is completely crashed out in her favorite place by the back window upstairs on the wicker chest. Oh, for the life of a cat :)

Showered at lunch and then napped. Overslept my nap a little.

We had a ( Read more... )

I have some hassles going on at work and might need to work this evening. Zara says that she’ll make everything better with kitty snuggles. And a lot of my colleagues will be online tonight too.

Crap. I way overslept my nap. Had my second Tony Bourdain dream ever. He was nice in the dream.

Scrambled to get some stuff done at work.

Attended ( Read more... )

I got myself together for my Italian lesson and was waiting, when I remembered that she had a conflict and wanted to do it on Wednesday. Oops.

I'm down seven pounds. Yay.

My Italian keyboard is not working even with new batteries, so back it goes. There's a Logitech one that should work, but it is more expensive, so I'm waiting to get paid again ( Read more... )
