Counting in Italian

Woke up at 6:30 AM. It’ll do. Fed the catlings. Mimi said, “I’m hungry!” Zara twirled when I fed her.

I need to pull myself together and go get my meds today.

I’m lying down for a nap. I’m explaining to Zara that I don’t want her tail in my face. Napped. Zara is asleep on top of the books that I have on the bed (a couple of gardening books).

85F/29C already.

I was remembering the time that I almost passed out in a bar in Toronto. I was with Linda and Jamie, the people in Toronto with whom I worked, and Jamie was the Canadian guy that I liked. Linda saw me go down, and she dragged me outside, which helped. She said, “Don’t worry. People will just think that you’re a lush.” LOL. Apparently I have a history of almost passing out in interesting places.

My portable air conditioner hasn’t shipped yet. I hope that they send it soon.

Hmm. I’m trying to figure out my day. I want to study Italian before it gets hot upstairs. Then I think that I’ll shower and get dressed to go get my meds. I’m wondering if I should get a padlock so that I can go to the gym. It would be better if I could find mine.

I’d say that I’m back on a local schedule. It’s dinner time in Italy, and it doesn’t feel like it.

I’ve been reading the entries about my Italy trip.

Had lunch. Hmm, Meijer has a padlock, and I also need some frozen food for lunch. Though actually, I need soda too. Maybe I should do a grocery order. Or go to Walmart. But Walmart’s padlocks need to be shipped. I can save $0.79 a bottle on soda if I go to Walmart.

I'm working on my Italian. The AI module is very good, and it is sending me to Google Translate to see how to say things. Okay, I did an hour's worth of Italian. If I can keep it up, I'll learn fast. I watched a video, studied flashcards, and listened to a podcast.

Hmm. I’m feeling like I want a nap. Maybe I could go get my meds tomorrow? Napped for about 45 minutes.

I did make it out to pick up my meds, although the debit card for my Flexible Spending Account (plus some other cards) is missing. Went to Walmart and picked up some groceries. I was hit by three bottles of diet soda, which hurt. Went to Meijer and got a lock and some of the good water.

Hot. Despite the heat, I want to go upstairs and make flashcards for Italian numbers after eating dinner. I turned on the ceiling fan in the kitchen and it feels awesome.

Okay. I got flashcards for the Italian numbers from one to ten downloaded onto my iPhone. It's a start. Now I think that it's bedtime.
