Study Day #1

[days_unfolding]

Woke up around 10 after strange dreams in which I was cleaning up trash areas in dorms. Plus in the dream, I hadn't slept for days. Weird.

Zara refuses to eat her food until after she eats Mimi's leftovers. Sigh. But she does eat it eventually.

Nap time. Had a good nap. Apparently there's been a dust-up in the cat pecking order and Zara was snoozing on the bed.

Threw myself together. Got Zara's meds, plus some milk and bread. It's been raining lightly, which is watering my garden. The lettuce and spinach (which I've been growing from seeds) are growing well. Not quite large enough to thin though.

I've been studying for my programming final.

Got my chicken breasts in the oven (covered in soy sauce, poultry seasoning, minced onion, and minced garlic). I'll put frozen riced cauliflower in the microwave when the chicken is close to done.

Back to studying.

The chicken was overcooked. I'll have to play with the amount of time that it cooks.

Talked to Mom. She's starting to get the yard together. We decided on late July for my visit to her. She also thinks that a Costa Rica trip next year for my 60th birthday is a good idea. She thinks that I'm nuts for considering retiring in Chicago.

It's raining again.

I've run out of steam. I'm thinking of going to sleep early and getting up early to study.
