More Yard Work

I watched the first episode of Glee (Apple TV didn't have it but Amazon did). It's very good.

Well crud. The salon that I went to in Urbana is closing. I need to find another place to go. Soon because I want my hair cut before the Italy trip.

Got up at 8 AM. Mimi: Mooooom, foooood!

I booked a hair appointment at a new salon and a brow appointment at Ulta. Yay. I’ll look cute for Italy! I love places that allow you to book appointments online.

I’m going to take my morning nap. I’m hoping that the lawn is drying out while I wait.

Zara got up when I did and wants food. At least, she’s polite and just stares at me. Mimi meows loudly.

Lunched. Showered.

Oh! I got 89/100 on the second programming test! I’m shocked. I thought that I bombed it.

Well, hell. The batteries run dead on the mower quickly. I still have a lot to go. Now I’m wondering if I need a larger lawn mower. I’m taking a break and will go out and plant stuff.

Planted the dahlias. Planted one of my spireas, but ran out of dirt. Weeded the garden bed and planted irises. My neighbor gave me some Siberian irises, which was nice. I’m boiling.

Here's the spirea that is planted in one of my mom's pots. The other one is going in a matching pot.

Had my meeting with the group for one of my classes. Got the data for my chart, but had some questions. Lay down for a nap and slept until 3AM. Tried to go back to sleep until 5, but I guess that I’m up and have homework. Plus I need to wash out Zara’s carrier because I’m taking her to the vet today. The cats want food. It's storming out, so I wonder if I'll be able to mow more today.

Loooong Day

I ordered purple fountain grass, which I had in California and really like, for the front garden. Oh, and I discovered that I have daylilies on the side of the house, so maybe I should get more. I found an online site that specializes in daylilies.

Remembered to add oatmeal to my Walmart order. They aren’t open yet, so maybe it’ll go through.

Washed out Zara's carrier and staged it in the bedroom. Zara is suspicious. Washed dishes. Scooped litter boxes. Created my graph for my group project. Now I have time for a nap before work! Zara is being a love bug, which is making me feel a little guilty because I’m taking her to the vet today.

Oh crud. I forgot to empty the car and flip the seats up for Zara. I’ll do it at lunch.

vysila on DW suggested that I get a spare set of batteries for the mower. That’s a good idea (ordered). Why didn’t I think of that?

Mimi is playing with the strings on my hoodie :)

Cleaned out the car and put the seats up.

It’s supposed to rain at 1PM, so I doubt that the lawn will dry in time for me to mow. Yep, the lawn is still wet.

Zara was her usual fractious self at the vet. (They gave me some Gabapentin for next time.) But! She’s maintaining her weight, which is good for an old cat. They’ll call me with her blood test results.

I really want a nap but 1) I’m busy at work, 2) I have a meeting with my group tonight, and 3) I have homework to work on. But I’ll get to bed at a decent hour, especially because we have the presentation tomorrow. Oh man, I'm tired.

Had my meeting. In it, I learned that my final project for the programming class is due a week from Friday rather than Friday, but I want to doublecheck. We divided up the slides, but they want me to add another graph, and I'm having issues with it. I want to go to sleeeeeeep! I've been up since 3 AM except for a brief (very brief) nap before work! I'll get up early to practice the presentation.
