Finished my book about Britain’s Royal Family. It’s a new book, and I learned some things about what has happened recently. It seemed like a balanced account, including a chapter about money.

Now to bed. Woke up at 7 AM. The dogs are back in. Oliver is loving me up because he wants food. Fed us all. Nap time.

Napped. Oliver is knocking stuff down and being annoying. I’m reading a decluttering book. The book is kicking my butt. Good.

It’s going to be freaking cold again tonight.

I found a recipe for Raspberry Lemon Bars in my Clean Eating cookbook. I want to make some to wean me off of larger desserts.

Started cleaning the kitchen. Go me. Now I’m taking a break because my grocery order is coming. Got the groceries inside. I think that I want to take a nap. Ordered two new cat collars with my number on them. I want some ID on Oliver and Lily.

I bought Bella a new crinkle chicken because she trashed the old one. I hadn’t taken it out of the package yet, but she knew that it was hers and took it out herself. She’s happy.

I seem to be talking myself into the weight-loss drugs. I need to find a gym though so that I won’t lose muscle. There’s one in Urbana that has personal training included. I looked into it and it’s open only until 7 PM. Not great. Personal training is $60 an hour. The Urbana Health and Wellness Center has free personal training and longer hours. And cheaper. I think that we have a winner. I need to get my gym clothes together this weekend.

Couldn’t sleep. Good. I’m caught up on my sleep.

An article on Facebook recommended Lynchburg, VA for reasonable housing prices. And you can take the train up and down the East Coast from there. Liberty University is there though on the down side. Still, I should check the place out.

Back to cleaning the kitchen. Gracie is getting in the way, sigh. Cleaning is hard enough without getting blocked.

Ordered an electric kettle and mug warmer on Mercari so that I can drink more tea to get water in me. I’ll have to check out my tea collection. Need to order more herb tea (ordered mint, hibiscus, and passion fruit teas).

I landed on the edge of my chair and it tipped over. I fell on the floor. Both dogs climbed on me and started licking my face. Bella bonked my hand with her snout. I said, “Really? I fell on the floor and you want me to pet you?” Sheesh. They made it hard to get up.

Yaaaaay. I’m getting my last payment for the app that I canceled back. Persistence pays off.

I was Web surfing and wound up at the Web site of India Hicks. She’s a designer who was a bridesmaid at Princess Diana’s wedding. She has some tablecloths that I like, but sheesh, expensive. And I don’t know when I’d use a tablecloth anyway. Maybe I could use it as a bribe for getting the place together? I like that. I found a palm tree pendant of hers on eBay that wasn’t too expensive, and I liked it, so I bought it and a gold-colored chain to go with it. She has some nice scarves, but I already have a ton of scarves from Mom.

Fed us all. It’s gotten late. (I’ve changed my internal clock because 7:45 is now “late”.) I have some stuff to do online and then I’ll go to bed.

I looked into Moody's for stock sector analysis, but they didn't have what I wanted. It turned out Yahoo! Finance does have what I want, and it's free. I need to start researching stocks for my self-managed fund, but I think that I'll save it for during the week when I'm too tired to clean. (That means that I'll spend all day on a computer, but that can't be helped.)
