Smithsonian Meditation

I've found some shampoo and conditioner and body soap bars that I'd like to try in the pursuit of less packaging. It looks like the frizzy part of my hair is indeed the part that still has the dye on it. That confirms my decision to stop dyeing it. It's cool that gray hair for women is now "in," although mine is definitely salt-and-pepper.

I'm tired today, which is not surprising. And it's dark and rainy.

I tried an online meditation session offered by the Smithsonian. I'm not sure what I thought of it. Part of it was meditating on a Korean painting, which seemed strange. But I do feel relaxed in mind and body.

Overslept my nap. I've decided not to to pick up Zara's meds today because I'm too tired.

Had another nap after work. Made up work time afterward. Finally remembered to request that a transcript be sent from Wayne State University (my Master's Degree) to the University of Illinois for iCAN.

It also just occurred to me that I could ask work for a new trackball because I use it for work. New headphones too.

I Don't Know Either

It was 52F last night, so it's not quite summer yet. I didn't turn the heat on though.

It amuses me that the cats are all over me when they're hungry, and then they leave me alone once I've fed them. That puts me in my place!

Hey, it's a holiday weekend!

I'm looking into Cloud Paper, which is toilet paper made from bamboo, which is sustainable. I looked into another company that makes toilet paper from recycled paper, but it was really expensive.

Zara was standing on her feeding spot. Then she came over, jumped on my lap, and promptly jumped off, and went back in her feeding spot. I think that the feeding proceedings aren't happening fast enough for her liking (done, finally!)

Ran to Walmart to get Zara's meds and some food. Had an impulse to get a burger, but I went to Aldi and got some French bread pizza instead. I need to go get my grill and make turkey burgers. I want to find out what's on a Frisco melt and make that.

Mom is not doing well. She's not sure what meds she should be taking and people say that they'll do jobs for her but don't show up, and she kept on saying, "I don't know". I asked if I should come out, but she said that would be something else that she'd have to deal with. She did say that talking to me helped though.

I'm chucking out tons of papers, but now I'm yawning. Maybe I should just get to bed early.
