Birthday

[days_unfolding]

Zara understands the word "food". She was on my lap, and I asked her if she was going to let me get my food, and she ran over to her feeding spot. So I fed them and then ate my breakfast. I exist to serve.

Tried to nap, but I'm slept out. Good. I plan to binge-watch some episodes of The Crown for my birthday, but I also need to make up time for work, study for a test, and clean.

I did some research into TSA Precheck and Global Entry. I think that I want Global Entry because I want to go to Italy in the not-too-distant future, and Global Entry includes TSA Precheck. It'll require a trip to O'Hare for the interview, but I could take the bus there and back. I'm not going to deal with it until after my move though.

I did some research, and I'm going to switch to AT&T Fiber when I move to Urbana and dump Comcast.

I texted the person currently renting the Urbana house about her furniture.

Ugh. IBS symptoms, so I'm waiting to take my shower until my digestion settles down. Paid some bills. Worked. Did dishes. Tried to nap again, but couldn't sleep. Read.

Showered. I put on my new pajamas, which are the warmest, coziest pajamas I've tried yet. Promptly ordered another set of them. Annoyingly, they are two cents less than free shipping, so I ordered trash bags. I'm sure that I'll use a ton of them as I move out. I also ordered $100 worth of boxes to be shipped to me from U-Haul.

Talked to Mom. She loved the pictures of the house, and really hopes that she'll feel up to coming for Christmas. She loves Urbana and is thrilled that I'm moving there. We talked about whether I should buy the current renter's couch, which is black leather, but she said that a fabric couch would be better for her to sleep on. So I'll be couch shopping.

Watched two episodes of The Crown. The new season is good so far.

My back is really hurting and I don't know why. I need to go lie down.

From working at the airport and checking in Delta flights, I think Global Entry is a good idea. Global Entry people definitely got through faster. Though I don't actually know any specifics about it.

Global Entry is great. However, be aware that there are often long waits to get an interview appointment.
