Tired, Apparently

Zara is usually a silent cat, but she was meowing when I fed them. I guess that she was hungry.

Made a grocery list. I think that I'm going to make two tomato-basil quiches and freeze one. Went and canceled Hello Fresh for this month. Too bad because there's a meal that I'd like to try, but I can't afford both classes and Hello Fresh.

Took a nap and then had a bite to eat. Was about to take a shower when I realized that I was still feeling really shaky. Aborted the trip and placed a pickup order at Walmart for tomorrow. They were out of cat food, so I placed an order with Amazon. This means that I won't have the microwave yet, but if I lie down and feel better later, I might go get it tonight.

Wow. Slept for 5.5 hours. I must have needed it. No microwave tonight. Mimi was snuggling with me, but I needed to go feed her and Zara. Zara was very hungry.

Finished the worksheet assignments for one class after banging my head against the wall. I'll wait until tomorrow to copy it over. I think that I should get to sleep to avoid screwing up my circadian rhythm too much (or at least, no more screwed up than it already is).

I Still Have Bad Luck with Hamilton Beach Microwaves

Stayed up until 4 AM reading Cleve Jones' memoirs. He's the guy who came up with the idea for the AIDS quilt. He has had an interesting life. And he decided that he wanted to live in San Francisco and moved there without a job or place to live. That took guts.

Woke up at 1:30 PM. Yikes. Did my normal morning routine, and I have time for a short nap. I want to go to Dollar Tree and Aldi before I go to Walmart, plus I need to get the microwave at Walmart before picking up my order. Though I could pick up the microwave after.

I forgot to clean the cats' litter box last night. Must clean it tonight.

Napped briefly and overslept. Jammed to eat and throw myself together.

Then I stopped until I dropped. Went to Aldi and got some odds and ends, including some very nice cheddar cheese because Walmart was out of it. Then I jammed over to Walmart. Got Zara's meds with 10 minutes to spare. The person who's amused that I'm getting meds for my cat was there. Then I looked at microwaves. The choices were Walmart's brand and Hamilton Beach. I've had bad luck with Hamilton Beach microwaves, but I bought one that's a step up from the cheapest in the hope that it will last longer. I also got an extended warranty, which I don't normally do, but this time I did. Bought some makeup.

Then I went and picked up my Walmart grocery order. Then I went to Dollar Tree and picked up soda. Dropped an overdue book at the library.

Finally I'm home. I'm resting and then I'll put groceries away. I thought about setting up the microwave later, but I need to nuke some French bread pizza.

Well, great. I'm going to have to return the microwave. It has a big dent, which I could live with, but it doesn't have the thing that turns the turntable. Given the amount of money that I spent on it, I want it to work.

Talked to Mom. We both had nothing much to report. She's trying to find a tree person to get rid of a tree branch that has partially come down. She's mulling over getting an eyelid lift to see better. Sheesh, everything sags when you get older.

I'm rebelling against doing homework, but given the amount of money that I'm spending on the classes, I need to get the work done. Though maybe I could go to bed early and get up early. I also want to return the microwave tomorrow before work. I need to soak and scrub the cats' primary litter box, so I'll stay up and do homework until it's done.
