Busy Day

Two out of the three people that I messaged on the Language Exchange messaged me back. Cool!

Just remembered that I need the pet sitter for when I'm in Chicago. Need to contact her and get some cash.

More cool, wet weather today. A colleague said that it's supposed to be in the 40s F this weekend. It might be time to bring in the rosemary and thyme.

Went to the doctor. I asked her if I could work out in the gym instead of doing physical therapy for my leg (which would cost at least a thousand dollars from my deductible). She said that I need to make sure to exercise all the muscles. So I'll do some research. I also asked about getting the impacted wax out of my left ear. She looked and said that it was like a brick wall, so she wants me to put drops in my ear for a few times and then make an appointment to have the ear rinsed out. I'll do that at the same time as my fasting blood test.

Bought a Greek Alphabet practice book and a frequency dictionary of Italian. And cat food. Subscribed to the Premium Plus option of Greek Pod 101, which gives me access to a teacher for questions. Still cheaper than one-on-one lessons.

Ugh. Got the programming midterm back and didn't do very well. I currently have a B in the class. Need to study more.

Hmm. I was looking at the shops in a shopping center in Champaign, and there is an Irish dance studio. That sounds really cool, but I don't know if my bum knee could handle it. Need to think about it. I was also looking at swimming lessons, but I think that I should wait until I move to Champaign.

Hmm. I have all-season tires, but I'm wondering if I should get snow tires for the drive to Champaign. Need to price them. Hmm. Kind of pricey. Costco has a snow tire that looks good, but it's a member-only price. I wonder if I know someone with a Costco membership. Maybe someone at work? I checked to see if I could get Swagbucks for getting a Costco membership but no dice. I looked at a discount gift card for Costco (sold out) and Walmart (only a few bucks).

Called Mom to talk about what Great Courses DVDs she'd like for Christmas (they're having a buy two, get one free sale, and there are a bunch that interest me), but she wants to make a list of the ones that she has first. We'll talk about it on our usual call on Saturday. Mom has an appointment with a cardiologist tomorrow at 7 AM! Yikes!

I bought a ton of cat food and kitty litter to get free shipping on Chewy. I got a 35-pound pail of litter, but it least I don't have to carry it up the stairs.

Zara is hanging out on my lap (she did that while I was in the bathroom and I told her that I'd give her lap time later), so I studied some Greek.

Went to get some library books at my old workplace. Chatted with my friend Jude, who is also having health problems. What's with this year? Picked up some ear wax softener at Walgreens.

Zara licked my veggie bake plate clean. I told her that she's one weird kitty. Zara settled on my lap again, so I paid some bills from my phone. Yay technology.

Paid my car registration online. Now I need to get stuff together for work tomorrow, do nighttime chores, and crash.
