The uni solved a problem for me. I'd like to continue the piano classes on Tuesdays, but originally the plan was for us to work at the office Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Now they want the office staffed Monday-Thursdays, so we needed to pick two days to be in, and I picked Mondays and Wednesdays. Awesome.

Oh! The Cherry Quinoa Salad is really, really good! I'll have to try more recipes from that hospital (OSF Healthcare in Bloomington, IL). I was reading about the health benefits of quinoa, and it seems to be a "superfood". I'm downloading more recipes, starting with salads for lunch. I found a tuna and bean salad that I could make with wraps, and I'd like to try it. But I don't feel like going back to the store tonight.

We had a spam ticket at work in Italian. I was able at least to recognize that it was in Italian although I needed to plug some of the text into Google Translate to see what it was about.

I'd like to watch the Paralympics tonight, but I don't get the Olympic channel. Hmm. Maybe I could stream it on my phone or computer. I need to do some mending anyway to have decent clothes when I go back to work, and I thought of doing that while I watch.

Mower guy didn't show up. Sigh. He said that he will mow tomorrow.

cerezamarrero, thanks for the postcard! It got buried with some other mail.

Took a nap and slept through until morning. Maybe I should just go to bed early on Friday nights.

Well, Hell

Woke up at 9 after some strange dreams. One was that I was visiting with my ex-husband. (His wife was in the dream too.) I think that I was looking for a job in the area (in California). The other was that I was doing some work on a Melissa Etheridge tour. We were still in California. Someone asked me where are some good restaurants in Sunnyvale, which is weird because if she was playing the South Bay, she would have been in Mountain View. I said that I didn't know and that I knew San Jose better.

Mimi wanted onto my lap when I woke up, but I was too sleepy. We finally compromised with her lying right next to me. That was okay.

Bedhead with my new haircut involves my hair sticking straight out to the sides. Yikes!

I'm looking into renewable energy ETFs, but won't be able to invest in them until after my move.

Oh hell. I hope that New Orleans will be okay when Hurricane Ida passes over. It's a special place.

I've been surprisingly faithful about logging my meals in Noom. I need to get back to exercise.

Got us all fed. Posted and watched some Paralympic swimming. Oh, I love swimming. I love watching it and doing it. Threw in some laundry. Now it's nap time.

Couldn't sleep. Just as well because I have a lot to do. Ate lunch. I keep debating whether to do homework or clean the bathroom, which is stupid. Just pick one. I need to do both. I think the problem is that I don't want to do either one but too bad.

I think that I want to make a Basil-Corn-Tomato Bake next instead of the tuna. I'll go to the store tomorrow.

I think that I use food to combat boredom. I'm working on my homework now and really want a cookie even though I'm not hungry. I looked at LJ instead for a break.

Okay, homework assignment #1 done.

Now mower guy says that it's too hot to mow. Sigh.

I was listening to the audio book that I was going to listen to while cleaning the bathroom, and got drowsy, so I decided to take a nap. First, though, I tried to find my toilet brush, which is nowhere to be seen. What could I have done with it?

Talked to Mom. She has had two small spots on her lung that the doctors were monitoring. Well, one of the spots has doubled in size. The doctors are going to do a biopsy. I'm concerned, needless to say, but Mom is surprisingly upbeat. The weird thing is that I had a feeling that something was wrong in the Thursday-Friday timeframe, which is when Mom found out. I had thought that something was wrong with my aunt though.

I'm going to go bed early after emailing some recipes to Mom. I need to do more homework and clean the bathroom, but I think that would wake me up now. I'll get up early and do stuff.
