Quiet Day

[days_unfolding]

Hot dogs really bring out the savage beast in Bella. I have a hard time explaining to her that they don’t exist in the wild.

Had problems falling asleep. I'm tired today. No errands today.

Joshua Bell and his wife are coming to the Krannert Center (the auditorium at the university) in April. I'm so there. Do I want to see Rosanne Cash in September? I don't know her music, but she's supposed to be good. There is another concert called "Strings for Peace" on the same day that also interests me. It has a classical guitarist that I like. Part of the reason that I like living in Champaign-Urbana is MUSIC! Lots of concerts!

I finally figured out how to do Gracie’s meds now that she’s almost out. Bella stays outside until I bribe her to come in with food (little snot!), so I gave Gracie her meds while Bella’s still outside. I don’t have to fend off Bella while Gracie’s getting her “treat”.

Couldn't nap at lunch. The dogs were being manic, and by the time that I lay down, it was getting late and I was wide awake.

I looked into alternative energy providers, and they all have bad reviews except for a couple that aren't in my area. Apparently a common business model is to offer a really low rate to get people to sign up, and then jacking up the price when the contract is over. As for cellular, Mint Mobile isn't great for people who travel overseas a lot, so I'm looking at Visible Wireless by Verizon. However, Verizon turned me down once because "they couldn't prove who I was". Now my driver's license matches my address though.

I found a recipe for butternut squash soup made in the InstaPot. It's almost the season for it. It sounds good.

Fed us all after work. Started a load of laundry. Threw out some stuff. I'm tired. I need to wait until my laundry load dries to get my pajamas. Then I'll go to bed.
