Don't Wanna. But It's Fun.

days_unfoldingI also applied to volunteer for the Urbana Park District.
My Apple Watch found my iPhone. That was useful.
Overslept until 8 AM. Hustled my butt into the shower because I want to go to the bank at lunchtime. Oliver and Lily attended my shower.
I bought some Birdie and Louie cat food for Zara. I hope that she likes it. She's been picking at her food.
It looks like the police was doing a welfare check on my elderly neighbor. I hope that he's okay.
Got the dogs in. I just need to feed the cats at lunchtime, and then I can run to the bank (done). I also got two rolls of quarters in case I need to go to the laundromat, although I really want to get the washer fixed this weekend.
Received the gate for Zara's room.
I found an end table on Amazon that’s cheap and I like better than the Facebook Marketplace one. I just need to check the chair to see if I should get brown or black. Actually I bought the brown one to match the bookcases.
Well hmmm. I found a lamp and a washable rug on Amazon, so I won’t need to buy the ones on Facebook Marketplace. I just need to buy the clock. Oh, and the nail gun.
Holy cow. I’ve made over $8000 on stocks, and I haven’t been investing that long.
Oy. Someone (Bella, I’m looking at you) stole and ate my apple fritter. I was scolding her about that when she stole a hot pad that I put under my food. Sneaky, cheeky dog.
My singing lesson went well. My teacher is a great combination of exacting and fun. It’s funny that I get a case of the “don’t wannas” before my singing lesson and choir, but I really enjoy the singing once I start. Well, I get a case of the “don’t wannas” about almost everything besides eating and sleeping.
I need a drill and am trying to decide whether to get a used one or not.
I previously bought a dry-erase board for the refrigerator, but I kept on knocking it down and its frame came off. I ordered a thin dry-erase surface, and that looks like it’ll work better. And I also ordered a thin dry-erase calendar for the fridge. I’ll use it to track the time that I’m spending on the house.
Fed us all. I'm trying to decide whether to research more stocks or just go to bed.

I'm about an hour south of there. I post a lot about nature, sometimes from my yard, others times local attractions. You might like the Charleston Food Forest and Grand Prairie Friends.

I would guess that being a librarian gives you an edge, from extra knowledge to connecting the dots to organizing things. In my experience, librarians often spot things that other people don't.

The lightest cordless drills are likely to be new. Same if you need any fancy features, or have a favorite brand that coordinates its products like Ryobi does.
However, sometimes you can find a real bargain used, like if someone thought they'd like it and didn't so they sold it after using it a couple times; or someone who kept but rarely used theirs. If you want an actual hand drill, it's either buy used or drive down to Arthur and hunt for a new one in Amish stores. So it's worth looking at used options before buying new.

Some of them have really feeble magnets. This can often be fixed by gluing on additional magnets.
