Trial Singing Lesson

[days_unfolding]

I’m going to need to bring some change for buses/subway on my NYC trip. I think that I’ll go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the day that I get off the cruise ship. I’ll drop off my luggage at the hotel and then go out. Hmm, now I’m wondering if I should stay near Times Square on the part of the trip after the cruise because a lot of what I want to see is on the southern side of the island. New plan: go see the High Line on the day that I get off of the ship. And the library. The International Institute of Photography is closed on Tuesdays, so I can’t go that day. Maybe I’ll go check out the Strand bookstore.

Nice. Monarch Money emails you when you’ve exceeded your budget. It emailed me about the tree removal because I don’t have a home improvement budget item.

Gracie woke me up at 7 AM. And promptly peed on the dog bed, sigh. I’ll have to clean it.

Gave Gracie her med in a hot dog and she gobbled it right up. Fed us all. Gracie was expecting me to go upstairs and work. I explained to her that it’s the weekend. Bella is already napping.

I was wondering if the fall COVID shot will be available before I go on my cruise, but there’s no date yet.

I ordered a “My dog thinks I’m cool” t-shirt, and “who rescued whom” and “dog is my co-pilot” bumper stickers.

Napped. Had lunch with two highly interested dogs. No, you can’t have my food.

I’m tired. I’m thinking of taking another nap after my trial singing lesson.

Gracie was barking at Oliver. My Apple Watch popped up a “loud environment” notification. Got that right!

Had my trial singing lesson. She said that my pitches were right on target, but she wants to work on my breathing support. I liked her and think that she will be helpful. I booked lessons with her up to the time that I'll be gone in September. Then I'll "subscribe" to the time after I get back.

I bought a Nikon DSLR camera. (I think that my last camera wound up in the estate sale at my mom's house by mistake.) Once I get it, I'll enroll in the "Mastering Your Digital SLR or Mirrorless Camera" class. I also bought a book with exercises.

I’m looking for a navy cargo vest but having no luck. Okay, it just occurred to me to try eBay and I found one. I live in cargo vests. Pockets!

Gracie and Bella are barking at something. I said to Bella, “Yeah, you’re a brave watchdog unless something is scary, and then you hide behind Mom. You are so not a watchdog.”

Overslept my nap. Took the dogs out, and I need to sit for a moment before starting the feeding process. Oliver is in my face.

I’m still tired. I’m thinking of going to bed after I feed the critters and do some dishes. Ugh. Fed the cats, but Gracie was barking at them, which upset Lily and she wouldn’t eat. I shut Gracie is the bathroom, protesting, while I fed Zara and gave them more food.

I really want to book the trip but should wait until Gracie is clear of Giardia. I’m feeling impatient.

I did dishes. I'm trying to set up a habit to do them every day. I set a habit tracker on my phone.

Now I think that it's bedtime.

You can pay by smartphone on the MTA now! That's what we did when we went.

Also they are doing away with transit cards soon - by December 31, and everything is OMNI, either use the smartphone or credit card.
