Odds and Ends

Woke up at 9 AM. Did my morning routine and napped.

I rescheduled my RSV vaccine because I couldn’t find a sleeveless shirt. That gives me a couple more days to find one. Realized that if I’m not getting my vaccine, I have time to go to the post office, so I grabbed my ThredUp return.

Now I’m at Urgent Care. It’s not where I thought it was going to be at all. They weren’t able to get the wax out of my ear, and said to use Debrox at home.

Stopped at Walgreens to get some packing tape and cosmetics. Also bought a protein bar because I was hungry. Ran to the post office. I was kicking myself because I didn’t have the items to return at Kohl’s, but this gives me time to have lunch and get the Halloween decorations down.

I was looking for the jacket that I inherited from my aunt. I haven’t found it yet. I found a bunch of pairs of jeans that are too big for me though.

Had my songwriting class. He wants me to do the work next week, so I need to come up with something.

Had dinner and fed the cats. Now I’m going to take a nap. Overslept, so I’m not going to make it to Kohl’s. I don’t want to go to Meijer right now. It’s dark and cold out.

Gathered up pairs of size 18 jeans (two sizes up) to donate, but one of the pairs smelled funny, so they’re in the wash.

The cats wanted to be fed (done). I had two pairs of eyes staring at me.

Emailed the company from which I ordered swimsuits. I haven't heard anything from them.

Worn Out!

Placed a Walmart order for delivery. One less errand. The nylons that I ordered from Amazon were too dark, so I added some to the Walmart order. After debating back and forth, I bought some Obsession perfume to wear on the trip.

I got my sandals and nail polish. They look good.

I’m communicating with the swimsuit people. Apparently, I didn’t get a receipt for the order, just the PayPal receipt.

Got my Walmart order.

I’m thinking of skipping swimming today because I have a boatload of stuff to do. I need to clean the house! And drop off my returns.

Bought a AirTag to put in my luggage.

Reading articles about the election and getting depressed. They emphasized that we don’t know what will happen.

I think that I’ll take a shower. I need to take some stuff from the living room to the storage shed outside. I have a singing lesson at 4.

I have a cream-colored polyester blazer that looks like satin. I’m trying to decide whether to bring it on the cruise. It has long sleeves though. Puerto Rico is currently in the 80s at the end of the day. Now I’m thinking a blue-and-white top and navy jeans. I did order an iron from Walmart though.

I tried on the Obsession perfume. It’s kind of Far East amber and patchouli. I like it. A little goes a long way though.

I’m thinking of retiring sooner rather than later. It would be good, though, to wait for Medicare. I don’t know. I’m just tired. I’m just feeling like the last year wore me out.

I had my usual helpful singing lesson. I asked her what I could do to practice while I’m gone, and she suggested listening to recordings of the music on headphones. That would help; the more familiar I am with the music, the better. I’ll also make copies of the music to bring with.

I have a wrap dress that I want to try for the day that we get on the ship. It might be too small though. I had a blue-and-purple dress that I would like to wear, but I’m not sure where it is. Maybe I’ll check Ross out. They have some nice dresses sometimes. No, I don’t have enough money to go to Ross right now.

Oh ack, it's raining. It's supposed to stop at 7:00 PM though, so maybe I'll wait to go out. I was thinking of going out on Tuesday instead, but it's raining then too. Heavier rain, but it's supposed to stop at night.

The Harris campaign wants me to knock on doors in Wisconsin and Michigan. Not. Happening. I need to work.

Well, crud. Kohl’s wouldn’t take the Land’s End return and said that I needed a QR code. (They did take the Amazon return.) I need to investigate that. I could try to return it tomorrow before rehearsal. I can figure it out. Then I think that I want to go to bed and get up early to clean. I’m tired and feeling the time change. I might be starting on Seasonal Affective Disorder too because it was gloomy today.

Okay, I need to return the Land's End items to Staples tomorrow with a QR code.
