Thursday

Got the duplicate title form filled out and ready to mail after yoga.

I found a cool outfit for Italy. It’s a cream blazer with a blue and white top. I just ordered some navy dress pants to go with it. It’ll probably be what I wear to the Vatican. (They have a dress code.)

I asked my dad’s wife Sue if he was okay because he’s not acting like himself, and she said that they’re both sick with something that sounds like COVID, but she took a test that was negative. She said that he didn’t sleep last night and couldn’t remember anything that she told him. That explains a lot. He sent a more coherent email today.

Had my session with the life coach. We agreed that I will take three months off and then see if I want more sessions. I also have two extra sessions paid for if I need a “tuneup”. She wants me to send her pictures of my Italy trip.

My presentation at work went okay.

Talked to Amtrak. It looks like I won’t be able to take the new suitcase as a carryon because it’s a little too big and I won’t be able to check luggage to Minneapolis. I fixed the zipper on my old suitcase and will take that. I need to take yoga pants so that I can wash them out and wear them again. Oh, I can park at the train station.

By the way, I love the new suitcase. It’s gorgeous. I want to get a matching carryon eventually.

Went to yoga. Hardly anyone was there. We were doing a leg lift and arm lift when I had a sharp pain in my knee. I said “Ouch” loudly and the teacher asked if I was okay. I sat there for a while. Then we were moving our bent legs for side to side, which is usually easy, so I tried it, but my knee said, “No way!” I then quietly packed up my stuff and told the teacher that I needed to leave. I ran the duplicate title form over to the post office. (Driving kind of hurt.) Now I’m back and I took acetaminophen and will lie down for a little while after I eat.

My therapist emailed me back and said that she’s glad that I’m safe (I missed our session yesterday) and to enjoy my Italy trip. I’m glad that she responded.

I'm going through a hassle with Pacsafe, who made my travel backpack. I can't get one of the locking zippers open. I did get the main compartment open at least. I need to take it to Michigan with me.

Took a nap and slept until 4:30 AM. Fuck. I have homework to get done. I think that I'll call in sick which is not a lie because I'm feeling dizzy.

Sick Day

I told my professor that I was sick and I’m going back to bed for a while. Mimi thinks that I skipped work to pet her. It’s all about Me! Me! Me! Mimi! No, she wants me to go upstairs and work so that she can sit on my lap. No, she wanted more food. I gave her some dry food. (The vet said that it was okay to give her a little more food.) So I’m teaching her to meow at me. Zara gave me a little kiss (and you earn it with her). Aww.

My mom’s annoying ex-friend Deanna now wants to take clippings of the plants. I’m fuming, so I’m wondering if I should get up. I emailed her telling her that I didn't want her to take clippings of the plants.

I did some homework, but now I'm having a stabbing pain in my side, so I'm going to take some acetaminophen and lie down.

Mimi got some small green stars stuck on her butt. What a goof :)

I napped and got up and worked on my program some. But I need to go back to sleep now. I wrote my professor and said that I won't be handing in the assignment tonight.
