Saturday

I actually woke up early, but lounged around in bed for a while. Took a nap after breakfast. Woke up with the shakes and a headache. Ate lunch in an attempt to make it go away.

Someone (Mom?) called from my mom's hospital. I missed the call. I stepped away from my phone only for a minute! I didn't try to call back because I didn't know if she called my aunt next. Plus I don't know what shape she's in or what she's doing. Now I'm carrying the phone with me everywhere I go.

It took me a while to realize that she probably left a message. She did, and left her direct phone number. So I called her and we talked for over an hour. She sounds quite good. Apparently she's been having dizzy spells when she tries to walk, but otherwise, she's awake and alert and eating and talking. She doesn't yet know when she'll leave the hospital or how long that she'll be in rehab. She told me to assume that I'll come out for Thanksgiving.

Got the paperwork together for reimbursement for Noom.

Took a nap and slept for 12 hours.

Queue Up the Italian Movies

Mimi has had a lot to say this morning. Maybe it's "Mom, get up, finally!"

Fed myself and the girls and took a short nap. Threw myself together for Italian. I'm now under 200 pounds (195)! Yay!

Italian went well. I'm really enjoying it. I was able to convey that my mom was in the hospital but doing well and that I'm going to see her at the end of the month. We're continuing to study past tense. My teacher was encouraging me to watch Italian movies on NetFlix.

I had some veggie frittaras for lunch. Zara thought that they smelled good, so I gave her some cat food.

Put the registration tag on my car.

Lay down for a nap. but couldn't sleep. Good. Had a bite to eat. Loaded the dishwasher.

Ran out to email a letter and get soda and spaghetti. Got the garbage out. Made some lemon poppyseed bread from a mix.

I'm going to go to bed early and get up early to do homework. Oh, and have some poppyseed bread before I go to bed.
