Trips Money Market Account

days_unfoldingHmm. There is a Severe Thunderstorm Warning until 12:45 AM, and it could spawn a tornado. I’m wondering if I should stay up until then. I did, and then overslept until 9:40 AM. Sigh. The CPAP went well. The nose pillows itch though.
Got my groceries. The delivery guy didn’t latch the gate, sigh, but I got there to latch it before Gracie got out. I need to throw clothes in the dryer and soak the cat dishes before feeding them.
There probably will be another storm tonight.
My “good” bra is soaking because it got sweaty. I ordered another bra to come tomorrow so that I can switch them out. I have a bra on which one of the clasps got bent, so I ordered a lingerie bag for washing bras. Hmm, I wonder if I could order clasps (done) and fix the bent bra.
I’m actually feeling a little chilly. It’s a nice change. (I turned the thermostat up last night.) That reminds me to put water out for the dogs outside. Now the temperature in the house is just about perfect. It’s 87F/30C outside.
I decided to nap over lunch because my clothes are still drying. I had Oliver and Lily on the bed with me. Oliver was burrowing under the blanket, and Lily was batting at him. Had a nice nap.
I’m wondering if I should open another money market account to save for the China and Tibet trips. Or maybe for all trips; it’ll be my trip account. Done–It’ll open in a couple of days, and I can edit the name to call it my trips account. Maybe that will keep me from spending it! It’s open now but not funded yet, and I changed the name of it. And I changed the name of the other money market account to “Emergency”.
Hmm, I should save some trip money to spend on my fall trip. If I can’t find things to buy in Paris, Venice, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, and Istanbul, it’s time to worry about me! I already have some euros to spend on the trip that I got for the Sardinia trip that didn’t happen.
I ordered an exercise planner/tracker, also to come on Friday. I need to grab a pencil for my gym bag too.
Oops. I didn’t put my therapy session on my calendar, but I got an email reminder a few minutes before. She doesn’t think that there is much that I can do about my dad worrying about me, especially because he has memory problems. She’s encouraging me to get to the gym to build up my fitness, especially because of the trip in the fall. (I hadn’t been thinking about that.)
Ugh. The forecasters are saying thunderstorms at 11 PM. I need to get to bed early because I have a physical therapy appointment at 7:45 AM. (Ugh!)
I’ve been thinking about making final arrangements at a cemetery in Urbana because this is as close to being a home as I have. (San Jose is also “home” to me, but I’m not going to ship my ashes there.) I need to check out the cemetery.
I’ve been reading my K2 book, and man, is it depressing. I’m starting to believe the people who say that the mountain doesn’t want to be climbed. Mountaineers call it “The Savage Mountain”. Sure seems so.
I received a message that a “severe” storm is on the way. I tried to get the dogs in, but they won’t come in until they get rained on. I wanted to take a shower, but I think that I should wait after the storm. I should keep moving and feed the cats and post.
The wind looked fierce, so I went to get the dogs inside, and they were surprisingly sensible enough to come inside. Now there’s a tornado warning. I’m down in the basement with Oliver and Lily. I tried to convince Bella to come down, but she doesn’t like the tall top step. I hope that she’ll go under the bed.
I read an article that suggested putting a temporary luggage tag with the address of the hotel at which you’re staying. I bought some cheap luggage tags to use. (I already have a permanent luggage tag with my name, email address, and phone on my bags.)
It’s still storming, so I’m going to post before taking my shower just in case there’s another tornado warning.
