A Day of Missed (Or Trashed) Connections

I got myself together for my Italian lesson and was waiting, when I remembered that she had a conflict and wanted to do it on Wednesday. Oops.
I'm down seven pounds. Yay.
My Italian keyboard is not working even with new batteries, so back it goes. There's a Logitech one that should work, but it is more expensive, so I'm waiting to get paid again. Though once I get the refund, it'll cover most of the cost.
I asked the person with whom I work if she had any additional tasks, but no. So I'm working on my filing system.
I had a Jenny Craig hamburger for lunch. It was supposed to be a cheeseburger, but the instructions said to wrap it in a paper towel and microwave it, and all the cheese wound up on the paper towel. Pretty good though. Now I'm out of Jenny Craig until my next shipment. I'll eat Lean Cuisine because it is a similar size as Jenny Craig. Healthy Choice meals are too big. Hmm, I might need more Lean Cuisine because my next Jenny Craig order hasn't shipped yet.
I'm looking at Skinny Syrups, mentioned by yshaloo. They look good. I'm trying to figure out which ones to get when I get paid again.
Ugh. The IT person called me, and I missed the call. So I called her back and, so far, she hasn't gotten back to me. I need my (work) computer!!!
I'm thinking of dropping tai chi because I'm not really enjoying it. Yoga, yes, I love it. And both work on my balance, which is why I was taking them in the first place.
Mimi was sleeping on the futon in the "guest room," when she saw me swing around to get the full effect of the fan. That apparently meant that she had to jump on my lap. She got fur on my Firenze (Florence) t-shirt and then jumped off. A job well done.
Finally, I'm up on my work computer. Alleluia! And now I'm stopped on my reports with errors. Sigh.
Mimi got tangled up in the cords for my work computer and ran for it, dragging half of my computer down. My monitor still isn't coming up, and I need to figure out what's wrong with it later. Sigh. The joy of working from home :) Apparently, she trashed the connector between my monitor and the docking station. She's very lucky that she's cute :)
The feline wrecking ball, looking innocent. With cat barf on the treadmill as an added extra touch:
Went to yoga, but no one was there. Huh. I checked my email but didn’t see a notice of a cancellation. Came back home. I certainly have plenty to do around here.
Placed an order for more Lean Cuisine. Sheesh, the price has gone up.
Got the tons of recycling out. Tons of recycling is good because it means that I’m getting through boxes. Now I’m taking a break before going on to the next thing.
Does anyone have an idea what I could do with a couple of hats that my mom wore in the hospital and the stuffed animal that I gave her near the end? Getting rid of them is not an option. Thanks. Most of the rest of her stuff integrates with my stuff, but those have me stumped. I’ll also ask on some of my decluttering Facebook groups. One group suggested a shadow box, which is a good idea.
Someone in one of my decluttering and organizing groups suggested Hold Everything as a store for organizers. $75 for drawer dividers?!? Too rich for my blood.
I'm working on my Italian flashcards as a break. I'm thrilled that I'm learning a lot doing so. It seems like magic.
I checked with the person with whom I primarily work to see if she needed any help configuring things for our new libraries, but she is not responding. I guess that I'll leave my computer up and go post on LJ/DW in the meantime. I won't get some of the organizing stuff done tonight that I had wanted because I need to get up early for my Italian lesson.
