Harlee at the Vet
Jul. 14th, 2017 03:06 pmHarlee is slowing down. She used to wail at the top of her lungs when I put her in the carrier, but except for when I first put her in the carrier, she just meowed the whole time.
She's lost two pounds, which is not good. I think that when I run out of this batch of the Blue Buffalo food, I'll just feed her the Soulistic, which she loves. She's not dehydrated though, which is good. She got her shots. I asked them to run blood work to check her kidney function, and they'll call back later with the results.
Harlee is resting up from her ordeal. She isn't hiding though. I'm going to eat a bite of lunch, and then I think that I'll go to the coffeeshop for some iced chai and read. I also want to take a walk in the park across the street. Then I'll come home and start cleaning.

Messies Anonymous
Jul. 14th, 2017 07:06 pmI did go the coffee shop. I bought a large iced chai, and read half of a book by the founder of Messies Anonymous (yes, that's really a thing) about reasons why people become "messies". She said that readers won't have all of the reasons. Guess again--I have almost ALL of them. I haven't gotten to the part of the book about how to dig out though. She has a separate book about organizing techniques.
At least part of the problem is that I get so BORED with cleaning and organizing. When I'm done here, I'm going to 1) do Pomodoro sessions on the kitchen, and 2) listen to audiobooks while I clean. (I keep wanting to say "books on tape". Yes, I'm old.)
I also went for a walk, starting in downtown Lincoln. I went to check out a park, and then kept on walking until the houses stopped and the street turned. Probably a little over a mile?
At the coffee shop, I noticed that one of the part-time workers sent me a text asking me to sign her timesheet for her. I meant to stop by work on the way home, but forgot. Said a choice word, and drove back and signed them. I was feeling a little cranky about having to go there though.
I just looked to see if there are any "messies" groups in the area, but they're all in cities.
I'm feeling a little down on myself, but don't know why. I 1) took Harlee to the vet, 2) did some personal development (reading), 3) exercised, and 4) started laundry. I guess that it's just that I feel like my entire life is two steps forward and one step back.

Kitchen Progress
Jul. 14th, 2017 11:19 pmI have made some progress on the kitchen, even though I wasn't listening to an audiobook because my phone needed charging. I took a break to run to the grocery store, and now I'm eating dinner.
Damn, it's humid. the weather forecasters said that it was supposed to cool off today, and maybe it has (yep, 66 degrees F), but it's still freaking humid (93 percent). I've been dripping sweat all day. I'm tempted to take a shower before I go to sleep, but it might disturb my neighbors.
I want to do a few more things in the kitchen, but want to go to sleep relatively early because I want to go to the Route 66 museum in Pontiac tomorrow. And the Route 66 display in Towanda if I can find it this time.
