Mimi has been lying just outside my bedroom. I thought, “How sweet. She’s waiting for me.” She might have been doing so, but she also was getting the benefit of the heat vent :)

I set my usual sleep schedule into Apple, and it has an alarm that goes off at 7:30 AM each day. It woke me up. The cats want food and are restless.

People on Facebook say yes, I should join Costco.

The check hasn’t cleared yet (although it was a cashier’s check). That’s okay. I have some money yet.

Zara ate most of her food! Yay!

Napped.

Hmm. I really don't want to go out today. I was looking into the time for the concert tomorrow, and I could run errands afterward. But that got me wondering how I could get to the concert. An Uber back and forth would cost a lot of money. I could take the bus, but I'll have to do a fair amount of walking. Oh! Parking! They have free parking! Excellent. (I'm used to there being no parking on campus.)

Okay. Printed off the recipe for the smoothie. Well, I know the "dump everything into the blender and blend" part, but I needed the amounts of things.

I just remembered to schedule my singing lesson. With the concerts that I'm going to, choir, and my piano lesson, it was tough to find a time that worked. I finally scheduled for a week from tomorrow.

I had to add an extra cup of soy milk to the smoothie to make it liquid. But it’s really good. The Ninja blender works really well.

Notre Dame in Paris is open again. That’s quite an achievement. I remember feeling heartache when the fire happened. I gave some money for the restoration. (The New York Times said that Americans were the largest group of donators after the French.)

Well, I’ve got my "catch up on my sleep" part of the day done. The last time that I lay down, I called Zara, and she came and jumped on me after a delay. Aww.

I’m trying to gather the energy to get the recycling out. I was thinking that I didn’t want to go out in the cold, but it’s 40 F/4C. Not bad at all. Mimi is telling me how tough it is, being a cat. That wasn’t just general-purpose complaining; she wants food. She’s right. It’s feeding time at the zoo.

I’m thinking of going to bed really early. Took my nighttime meds. I think that I’ll just go through some paper in the kitchen and do dishes (done). I went through an enormous pile of paper in the kitchen. One step closer to having it organized. Posted a wallet on Buy Nothing.

I'm now upstairs to post. Mimi is on my lap and is happy.
