Commencement

I bought a used outdoor drying rack from Amazon. I hope that it will work well for me. Glad that I found a used one because new ones are expensive! However, I also discovered that my clothes dry in a half-hour instead of an hour in the dryer. That will save energy!

 

Forgot to mention that I found some eye shadows at the dollar store that were a pretty color. And the price was right!  

 

Overslept, but still woke up in time to get ready to go to Commencement. The Class of 2018 has duly graduated.

 

Afterward, I went to the restaurant that my friend likes. I had a bad experience there in the past, but it redeemed itself this time. The service and the food were great. Then I went and got some stuff that I forgot to put on the list yesterday. And I also bought all the remaining garlic french-bread pizza at Aldi's.

 

I think that a nap is in order....

 

 

Whatever Happened to Saturday Night?

So much for getting a lot done. Meant to get up at 7 PM, but got up at 8:30. Oh well.

 

Was looking at clothespins for my drying rack. You'd think that clothespins are clothespins, but it was hard to find something that got good reviews on Amazon. I wound up getting stainless steel ones.

 

I was looking at Hawaii real estate out of curiosity (there are some good deals in Hilo on the Big Island), when it hit me--it's more expensive to live in the San Francisco Bay Area than Hawaii. That's scary. Speaking of living in Hawaii, there recently was a job there that I was sorely tempted to apply for, but I need to stay in the Midwest for my mom. It also was in Honolulu, which isn't one of my favorite cities. 

 

If I want to take a trip to Hawaii, Airbnb is the way to go. Much cheaper than a hotel. Though now is not the best time to go to the Big Island because of the volcano erupting (and earthquakes!!)

 

Amazing how much more snuggly Zara is when I'm eating :)

 

I think that I want to go to bed early and get up early to get a few things done before work.
