Some Progress

[days_unfolding]

I woke up after an hour of sleep. Got up and ate some cereal and went back to sleep. Overslept and woke up at 7:30 AM. I’ll take my shower at lunch.

Forgot to mention that I ordered chargers and a charger case for the trip. One plug has multiple USB ports, which will work well. I ordered a travel “pillow” that has noise-canceling headphones and a massager. I want to get good sleep on the plane! I might need a tote bag to carry it in. I found one that I like, but want to see how big it is. I'm checking luggage, so I'll have two carryon items for the flight. Hmm, I should get a larger tote bag because I'll be carrying a CPAP eventually. I might shell out for a travel CPAP machine so that I don't have to carry a big one with me. I found one that I like. But I need the prescription first.

That reminds me that I want WiFi access on the flight to update LJ. I'm flying Lufthansa, and they charge for WiFi but you can buy it aboard the plane. I'm flying Premium Economy to Munich (I looked into Business Class but winced at the prices, so this split the difference) and the page about Premium Economy on Lufthansa's site looks nice. I'm flying Economy from Munich to Sardinia.

I'll have no room for souvenirs in my suitcase. If need be, I could buy a small suitcase to put stuff in. Or mail stuff to myself. I did find a collapsible duffel bag with wheels. Or wait a minute; does Roam have a bag that will fit on top of the rolling suitcase? Yes, it does. And it's carry-on size. Oh wait, but I can have only two pieces of luggage on the train. I think that I want to contact Trentalia and ask them about it. Note to self: Roam duffel. Okay, they will ship luggage within 24/48 hours for a fee. I'll get the Roam duffel in that case (done). Do I want a travel blanket? I could take a beach towel.

I'm in the stage of dieting where I'm hungry all the time. I want some freaking food! And I ate breakfast. Had some yogurt. When I crave doughnuts, I eat some whole grain cereal, which is better for me. The whole purpose of this is first to eat well for energy and maybe lose weight.

Damn, I'm feeling tired. But I need to take a shower at lunchtime so that I can work on the fence after work. I did take a nap. I’ll jump into the shower after work.

Almost done with our Annual Statistics at work: just one more small task. Yay.

Maybe I should take Bella and Gracie for a walk because they are so interested in what’s outside the yard. They walk pretty well on two leashes, although the leashes tend to get wrapped around each other. I'm so lucky that they like each other.

Excellent. My ballet flat shoes have shipped.

I read an interesting article in the New Yorker about autoimmune psychosis. My psychosis came out of the blue when I was 39, which is late to develop a psychotic disorder, so I'm wondering if that could be the case. I like my psychiatrist, so I might bounce it past her.

"Showers in the vicinity". Well, that settles whether I'll work on the fence or not. The critters will want to eat after my shower anyway.

I forgot to mention that I got my new purse mentioned in the “How Not to Look Like a Tourist in Italy” article. It’s very nice, and my tablet fits into it.

I got the collars with the spot for the AirTag and my phone number on it. Oliver and Lily are very upset that I put a collar on them. (Bella and Gracie are taking it in stride.)

Oceania has a Bali to Hong Kong cruise. They’re a little expensive for me, but wow, does that sound cool.

I guess that I must be in Sharper Image’s target market because their catalog had some stuff that interested me.

Cleaned off the table.

Lily has already gotten her collar off. Sigh.

I'm going to eat, feed the critters, and go to bed.
