I looked into Dinnerly (yeah, I'm me-tooing), but they require a minimum of three meals per week. In looking at the meals, I found two per week that interested me. Oh well. No, actually, I've found some more that interest me. Need to think about it. Plus, I just ordered ingredients for some meals on Walmart Grocery. I did order Dinnerly. It's more reasonably priced than Home Chef. And there's a week delay, so I can make the meals that I planned next week.

Crap. A Home Chef meal made it through my skipping orders. I guess that I need to cancel some of my groceries. I just put a "pause" on my account.

Eufy has arrived. Zara checked out the box, but decided that it was too small to be a good perch. She's back on the desk chair box.

Zara is funny. She eats part of her food, goes away and grooms herself, and then comes back and eats the rest of the food. (And then she'll groom herself again.) Wouldn't it be more efficient to eat it all in one shot? Then again , "cats" and "efficient" don't go together. Now she's doing a third go-round with the food.

Zara was off of the desk chair box, so I took out the parts. No assembly instructions. Bah. The manufacturer said that they'll e-mail me the instructions, but I haven't gotten them yet. Got them. I'm going to nap first and then assemble the chair.

Well, this is interesting. Apparently my Italian lesson is scheduled for next week, not today. More time to study....

Had a nice nap. Ate. We had a kitty squabble over the desk chair box, which is now on its side. Both of the girls were in the box, and hissing and growling ensued.

I'm trying to find out why I wasn't able to auto-pay my rent, and the Web site said that "ePay isn't enabled for my property". But I've used it before though. Sent an e-mail to the property manager. Paid some bills while I was at it.

Can't get the side arms of the chair on. I'm taking a break. It turned out that I had the arms on the wrong sides. Finally finished assembling it. I'm going to say on the review of it that it would help to have two people assembling it. I kept on wishing that I had a third arm.

Need to clean up after the assembly, but I need to rest. I also want to assemble the treadmill tonight, but I need a break and a few choice swear words before I begin.

I'm sitting in the desk chair, and oh, is it comfortable. it's almost worth all the hassle assembling it.

I can't face assembling the treadmill tonight. I think that the plan is to feed the girls, eat, and watch The Marriage of Figaro on the Met channel. Oh, and do some aerobic dancing, also on the Roku. I'm pondering how I lived without a Roku.

Holy mackerel. We did get snow. And it's still snowing. The snow has finally stopped. I guess that we got 2 or 3 inches. That is throwing my routine off because I have to allow time to blow-dry my hair and brush the car off.

Mimi is blocking the entryway from the bedroom to the kitchen, presumably to keep Zara from going into the kitchen. So I called her from the kitchen table, "Come here, Mimi, and get fur on my pants!" What cat could resist that?

I ate out instead of going home to avoid trick-or-treaters. I suck, but I only have a limited amount of time to eat dinner, plus I had to run errands.

I checked out a book from the library called Made from Scratch. It's about a woman who ultimately started a farm, but it also mentions small ways that you can make things from scratch (grinding coffee beans, making bread, sewing, etc.) She has an interesting blog too. Don't expect me to raise chickens any time soon. :-P

A little girl in Chicago was shot while she was trick-or-treating. That makes me feel sick.

I found a missing library book. Sometimes it's the little things in life. I'll return it tomorrow.

After I eat, I'm going to work on my crocheting course. My friend Jude said that she's going to clean out her yarn stash and see what she can give me. After I pay a bill and see if my automatic payments went through. Glad that I checked my bills because my rent won't start automatic payments until December.

I think that I'll skip crocheting and just go to bed. It's gotten late, plus I want to make some phone calls before running my errands. It just occurred to me that I could call the gym with which I keep trying to get in touch and maybe get squared away that way. Anyway, I want to call Comcast and cancel cable and get Sling if they don't lower my bill enough.
