Late Sunday
Jan. 19th, 2026 10:07 amEmail to my dad: Do you think that we are heading into a recession? Yahoo! Finance divides stock sectors into subsectors. I was looking at Internet retail because it said that subsector is up. but it looks like the "top" companies are all going down. I have a bad feeling about that. I did my dad's "stoplight' thing, and the markets are borked right now.
I was reading about a medieval museum in Paris, and it talked about how tapestries served for warmth as well as decoration. It occurred to me that I should get a quilt for the wall on the side of my bed to keep it warmer plus it would look cool. I haven't found the right quilt yet. I'll keep looking. (My bedroom is on two outside walls and is cold. That reminds me that I need to get the thermal curtains up.) I think that I might have found one. It's a Hawaiian quilt, made in Maui, with dark green leaves and yellow flowers. I printed a picture of it to put by my bed to see what I think of it in there. It looked good so I bought it. Now to bed.
Picture of the quilt:

I canceled Planet Fitness because they moved out of Urbana. They’re trying to make me feel guilty.
Whole lotta munching going on. (I fed Oliver and Lily and Bella and Gracie their dry food late-night meal.)
I kind of want to adopt a senior cat, so I’m using that as incentive to clean the place up. I’m trying to stack the deck to get it done.
I ordered a steam cleaner off of an ad on Facebook, only to find that it’s coming from China. I want to use it now! Sigh. It has a shipping label now.
Okay, NOW I’m going to sleep!
Urgh. The dogs came in the bedroom, and I closed the door. Apparently, it didn’t latch all the way, and Oliver pushed it in and jumped to the ledge above the door. I don’t want to go to sleep with him in here because he’ll come down, and either the dogs will chase him or he will bug me. I’m trying to wait him out. But he knows that I’m trying to wait him out. Who will win? I did!
I had a rare bout of insomnia, so I got up and made oatmeal.
