Zara cracks me up. She eats on the counter, and when I feed them, she'll jump down and jump back up multiple times to make the food appear. And hey, it "works"! She also asked for more food during lunch, and I gave her some. I'm wondering if I should call the vet about it, but I'll wait this weekend (it's hard to get weekend appointments anyway) and see how things go. She seems fine otherwise.

Now my WiFi adapter on my desktop is working now that I ordered a new one. Well, I guess that it's good to have a spare. That at least answers how I'm going to do my homework this weekend.

Had an upset stomach this afternoon, but I took some antacid tablets, and it seems to have settled down. Headache too. I might just crash after my shots, though I was planning to watch TV.

My new "oracle" cards are in my mailbox. Awesome. I'll pick them up after my shots. Also the new band for my Fitbit Charge 4 is here too. I'm glad that I picked a tracker for which you can change bands. (I originally had a Garmin and the band broke and that was that.)

The new USB headphones have been flaky and I need to return them. I threw out the packaging though. I wonder if Amazon will still take them back.

Just remembered to pay my Italian teacher.

Hmm. My mom doesn't want to get one of those emergency buttons for older people, but I wonder if she would be willing to get a Web cam or two. I'd have to set it up for her. Then if I don't see her, I could call a friend to check up on her. I'm looking into a Nest cam. Maybe I could go over to Best Buy while I'm there.

HBO Max has been sending me non-stop emails since I subscribed. It's getting a little annoying. I'll have to see if I can unsubscribe to the emails (done).

Hmm. I looked into online therapy, but it will cost me more than in-person therapy, although maybe they're more flexible on hours? Note to self: I looked into doTherapy. I was planning to look in to therapy after the first of the year. I tried another one (Better Help) and it also was more expensive. I have good insurance (finally!)

Best Buy will recycle my bad monitor if I pay them $30. It might be worth it to get it out of the kitchen.

I ordered a yearly planner for next year that I can start on my birthday and work on at my mom's house. (I was thinking of on the train but I forgot that I'm driving.)

I need to go pick up Zara's meds tomorrow.

Okay. I got my shots (COVID booster and flu). They weren't too bad. (I'm a little needle-shy.) I thought about going to get Zara's meds but decided to go straight home. What I really want to do is a Tarot reading, but I'm not sure what I did with my cards. I wanted a "classic" Tarot deck so I ordered one. Now I'm done with birthday presents! I can give myself an Oracle card reading anyway because I received the cards.

I love the Oracle cards (Queen of the Moon Oracle). They're attractive and speak to me. I drew cards for November and December. November was Assessing (appropriate for a birthday month) and December is Attraction. I'm interpreting them as time to take stock and clean house and set goals and get out of living in the whirlwind and make space for the new. And I will put the cards where I won't lose them!!

Hmm, I'm yawning and am a little headachy, so I think that I'll just go to bed early.
