I had my meeting with the Italian teacher. She is very expensive, but I think that she'll be very good. She said that her lessons are mostly about speaking, and I can do homework to prepare for her lessons, which is what I want. She said that I need to be more confident about speaking, and if I make a mistake, no big deal. (She thinks that I remember more Italian than I think.) She's going to talk to her accountant and send an invoice to me. I'll have to write Mimmo after the first lesson to thank him for the referral. I'm also going to keep up with the vocabulary and verb work that I have been doing.

Okay, I got an Italian keyboard app on my iPhone. The teacher wants to communicate on WhatsApp.

It looks like most of my bookcases will arrive today, so I need to make room for them.

I can't stop yawning. I'm looking forward to my lunchtime nap.

One bookcase has arrived. I made a spot to stash them.

It’s very dark and gloomy out with rain off and on. Oh great, Flood Watch.

Okay, weird. The bookcases had an old address in Lincoln on them. They called me and I told them the new address. Oops. But I got something that I thought was a bookcase this morning. It seems too small to be the standing desk. No, it was the standing desk.

I attended a webinar about financial emergency preparedness. It got me thinking. I'd prefer to have my financial information online because my dad is in Nevada, and he'd have to deal with things if something happened to me. But it has to be secure. I'm looking into NordLocker, which provides secure file storage online.

My "Meet me in Italy" shirt looks great with my new white jeans.

I ordered a lightweight robe for summer. When I'm about to take a shower and need to run grab something, I've been running around the house with a towel tucked around me, which is probably more of me than my neighbors want to see :) I have a fuzzy warm robe for winter that my mom bought me. I need to find it though!

I was looking at sexy underwear and bras for plus sizes. If I lose the weight that I want, I’ll still be plus-sized but lose the “spare tire”. Torrid has some interesting stuff. Okay, I found something that I like on Felina.com. And it would fit me now, so it should fit me when I lose weight. Speaking of which, my Jenny Craig order is shipping. It’s supposed to arrive tomorrow.

Hmm. I need to get the garbage out, but they’re saying heavy rain for the next hour. I’ll wait until later.

I tidied up the upstairs and got the garbage to take out and recycling ready for tomorrow. Took the garbage out to be picked up tomorrow.

I need to study Italian yet. I won’t get a full night’s sleep. I spent some time looking at Internet posts about sexy Italian and Italian swear words. That counts as studying Italian, right? :) Studied Italian the traditional way. Now to bed.

Why do you need a keyboard app on your iPhone? My phone can change to Italian, French, German, Russian, Hebrew and Greek, all I had to do was add languages to the keyboard settings. I have an ancient iPhone 8 but I doubt that has got harder on new phones?

Yes, you just press and hold, and you can switch between languages by clicking on the little globe. 😊 it’s also helpful having it set on Italian because it does auto correct in Italian too so if you’re not quite sure how to spell a word it comes up.
