Hmm. It occurred to me that I could plan a quieter, gentler trip to Italy. Maybe I could go to Sardinia, stay in Cagliari, poke around, and go to the beach. I’m doing some research. I found a hotel that I like. Maybe I could do Italian language lessons? I think that there is a language school there? Language school I'm trying to find out how I'd get there. It looks like I'd need to fly to Rome and then take another flight to Sardinia. Excellent. The language school is a 10 minute bus ride from the hotel. I found a guidebook to Sardinia too. The weather is still good in Sardinia in September. I found a good flight too. (Apparently the more direct route is to fly to another European city, in this case Munich, and then get a flight from that city to Sardinia. I saw another route that had four flights! No!) I found a store that sells linen clothes that I’d like to check out.
Got up at 6:30 AM. The Kia is still here, so I need to stay up. Maybe I’ll start work early.
I found a place that sells astilbe (the bare-root plants that Bella has been digging up) in pots. Not cheap though.
I rescheduled my massage appointment to later this month. My membership renewal is upcoming, so I didn’t know if the massage would be paid for. Plus, I can just come home after the protest. I need to figure out where I can park for the protest. Okay, I have a plan.
They picked up the Kia. Apparently, I was supposed to leave the keys in the car, but they didn't tell me that.
I talked to the people who have Mimi's ashes, and I made arrangements to take 1/2 a vacation day on Wednesday to go get them in Bloomington (about an hour from here).
Got my food delivered.
Overslept my nap. I am so freaking tired.
Here comes a storm. Urgh, the weather will be lousy for the protest tomorrow.
Hmm. Holland America wants to "help" me book my flights. I wonder if they would book it earlier than the cruise starts.
I took Bella outside, and she wanted to come in right away after she peed. I told her that she wouldn’t like it out! It’s pouring now. And there’s thunder and lightning.
Someone on Facebook posted a protest sign, “You know things are bad when librarians start protesting”. Totally stealing that.
Apparently, the car repair place called for me to come sign an authorization. I didn’t get the message until after they closed though, so I’ll go on Monday morning.
Napped and woke up at 11:30 PM. Oliver had snuck in and was biting my leg. He was hungry. All right then. Bella was playing in the mud outside. :(
I’m too groggy to make my protest sign now, so I’ll get up early to do it.
Ugh. Bella got a big smear of mud on my jeans. And I want to wash them to wear tomorrow.
