zhelana’s post about adult summer camp inspired me to look into them. A lot of them feature drinking, and I don’t drink. However, there is one at Allerton, which is local. It does have a drinking component, but there are other activities and you can stroll the grounds. Also, you can camp there in a tent, which I would like to do. (I’m nervous about camping on my own, but that should be okay.) There’s one in a couple of weeks, which I can’t do, but there also is one in October.

Got up with my alarm at 7:30 AM. I was still tired.

I’m having problems getting in touch with the people at the boarding place. This isn’t good. I’m going to drive by there when I’m done running errands if I don’t hear from them.

Fed us all. Bella is being manic. I have a headache, so I’m going to lie down for a half-hour, then shower. I’m up and feeling a little better.

Got the money for the pet sitter. Got my library books. Went by the dog and cat boarding place, and people who worked there were there, so I guess that it’s open. I hope that they get back to me. Picked up my glasses at Target. Bought some measuring cups and acetaminophen, also at Target. I’m hungry and running early, so I’m at Denny’s getting some French toast.

Picked up the laptop sleeve. Had some extra time to kill, so I went to PetSmart to buy puppy supplies. I bought a few different types of canned food to see what she’ll like, plus dry puppy food. And some bowls and a fuzzy bed like her big sister has. And a stuffed lamb toy.

I finally got in touch with the kennel. Apparently, I said that I would drop them off on Monday. And the dog training people said that it would be okay that I won’t be at orientation.

Now I’m getting my brows done (done). Now I’m back home. I passed the “No Kings” protest on the way home. One of these days, I’ll make it to a protest. Some people were walking in the road though, which was nervewracking. What's the point of stopping traffic?

Napped. I'm still feeling exhausted, so I'm going to feed the critters and go back to bed.

The estate sale guy said that they would work on the accounting for the sale and also clean out my Mom's house this week. My handyman up there called to ask how things were going up there. Apparently he stored a piece of glass on the breezeway and put a key to the house under a rock near the front door. I didn't know this. He said that he would work on the painting on the back side of the house next week.

The cats are completely flaked out.

I got a cleaning caddy bag to help me carry stuff around for cleaning. The cord for the treadmill should come today, but I realized that I should put a mat under it, so I ordered one from Amazon.

There is a house and garden called Allerton the next town over. They have programs there. They're going to have one about Mary Oliver's poetry this summer, but I would miss the first session because I'll be in Italy. I'm trying to email them to find out if I can still do it. They said yes! And Illinois Extension is having an online class about natural lawn care, but that's during the conference that I'm going to. Hmm.

I'm feeling ice cold. It is cold out (currently 33 F). I lay down during lunch, and the comforter and Zara were warm.

I keep having sinus headaches and post-nasal drip. Yuck.

I'm meeting with the pet sitter on Friday.

Yay. I've got the power cord and emergency key for the treadmill. I plugged it in.

I had my usually helpful session with the algorithms TA. Then I had dinner. The cats wanted dinner also. Then I lay down for a nap but couldn’t sleep.

I ordered the venlafaxine on CVS’ site this weekend, but it’s not showing up on the app, so I ordered it yet again. Sigh.

I worked on my program until I got stumped and wrote the TA because there's a fundamental problem. Okay, I fixed the problem, but I think that I want to go to bed now. Crud, I need to put clothes in the dryer. I guess that I'll sleep in less warm pajamas.
