I was reading about budgeting, and it occurred to me that I need a time "budget" too. One thing at a time though.

Woke up at 10 AM. Went back to sleep. Woke up at 11 and got up.

Mimi is rolling around on the floor like a goof.

Got the girls and myself fed.

Heck. I downloaded the Disney World app to look at the wait times for rides, but now I don't see it on the app. No, I found it under location. Not intuitive.

Kitty Drama. Zara was walking too close to Mimi for Mimi's liking. Sigh. I gave Zara Mimi's leftover food because Mimi won't eat it and Zara's thin.

Took a nap. Overslept a little. Was a little late for my first budgeting webinar because it had to install software. Now I'm in the middle of them.

Ran the gauntlet of budgeting webinars. I think that they were useful. There are a couple more that aren't scheduled for today, but I'll probably watch the recordings on YouTube. I'm going to be on the computer later and, in the past, I would have left it on, but I shut it down to save electricity.

Took out the garbage. Now it's time for cleaning. Started laundry. Soaked a litter box. Cleaned the kitchen counters.

I went to make my baked cod, but it was still frozen. I had left it wrapped in plastic, so it was taking longer. I took it out of the plastic and put it back in the fridge. I made tortellini instead.

Swept the floor. I'm going to need to get on my hands and knees and scrub it, but I'll wait until tomorrow to do that. If I eat tortellini tomorrow, I'll be done with eating early and will have time to scrub.

Now I'm going to work on my budget for a while and cool off.

Ugh. There is a mosquito-based illness that causes brain swelling, and it's in Orlando. There also were a couple of shark attacks off the coast of Florida.

Added: Oh. My. God. There was a shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. I always meant to go there, but never did. No place is safe.

Woke up at 11 AM and went back to sleep "for a half hour" and slept for two hours. I'm wondering if it's too late to get tires. If I go on Monday, though, it might be less busy. I also forgot to order Zara's meds yesterday, so I can't pick them up today. Oh well.

I decided to wait to get the tires. I told myself that I am on vacation, although I want to get some stuff done, so I'm going to take a nap.

Stepping outside is like stepping into an oven. There is a "special weather statement" about the heat and humidity. (It's 91 F.) Hmm, I had planned to make Lemon Rice Soup tomorrow, but if it's really hot, maybe not. That reminds me, buy ice cream!

The cats are setting my priorities for me. I was going to take a shower when Mimi kept telling me to pay attention to her. I stopped and snuggled with her for about 10 minutes. Now I'm out of the shower and Zara is on my lap.

Got out to run errands. I did break down and buy a small bottle of soda to drink while I was running errands. (Yes, I know that isn't the best use of money, but it was good.) Aldi had a "car cleaning kit" (long-handled brush and squeegee) on sale a couple of weeks ago. I wanted it, but didn't have the money. Today, there was one left at 1/2 price. Score!! And now I can wash the car at home! I've got the ingredients to make Lemon Rice Soup plus some other odds and ends. That reminds me; I bought some frozen cod fillets, so I need to look for recipes. I got the cats their food, so now they both can eat the food that they like.

Now I'm learning about budgeting. I think that I'll learn a little more before going to sleep.
