Aspirational Dress

[days_unfolding]

I found an aspirational dress on Ann Taylor Loft. I’m wondering if I should buy one one size down for motivation. I ordered it.

Woke up at 9:30 AM.

I checked to see if the bookcases that I like are on sale at Target, but they aren’t.

Crud. I should have gotten more oatmeal when I got a Walmart delivery order the other day.

It’s kind of gloomy out. Crud, it’s supposed to rain, but I need to mow. Yes, here comes the rain. Napped.

Paid some bills for Mom's house. Bought the book The New Tourist: Waking Up to the Power and Perils of Travel.

I have to figure out what to do today given that the grass is wet. I'm about to study Italian. I need to put up the clock and key rack. Then I guess that I'll work in the music room. Maybe I could weed later.

Studied Italian. Watched an episode of the Golden Girls. Paid more bills.

It's raining again. And there is a tornado watch. The local July 4th festivities were canceled.

Took another nap. If you can’t nap on a holiday, when can you?

Hmm. I’m looking for a replica of the Canova Venus statue that I saw in Italy. I saw one on Etsy that might work. Well, I saw a nicer one on Chairish, but it’s $145. No. Ordered one plus a “Meet Me in Italy” t-shirt.

I hung the clock and key rack in the kitchen. You need to press a button to backlight the clock, which I don’t like. And it says that it’s 80 in here? The a/c is set, but come to think of it, I haven’t heard it go on in a while. I tried turning it on, and some cool air is coming in.

Eeek. How’d it get to be 8:30 PM? I need to get the recycling out.

I discovered that the clock needed to be plugged in. It helps if you RTFM! It’s working well now in a new spot.

Mimi is telling me that it’s a tough life being a cat.

I can be really stupid. I started to order shoes for the dress that I can’t fit into yet, and then I asked myself, “What am I doing?” I’m sure that there will be comfortable flats when I’m ready for them.

I read an article from the BBC about how Ancient Japan recycled almost everything. That reminded me to look for carbon offsets for my flight (although I also read an article questioning the ethics of carbon offsets). I bought some. I only hope that the company was reputable.

I want to get to sleep soon because I want to use the treadmill while it's still cool in the morning.
