Woke up at 8:30 AM. Mimi was reluctant to come downstairs for food.

Prairie Gardens is having a 25% off sale on houseplants through Labor Day. I’ll have to check it out.

Hmm. An article in the Washington Post suggests that yoga might help with cognitive decline in older adults.

Had a nice nap. Joined a bunch of gardening and house plant groups on Reddit.

My dad subscribed me to Consumer Reports so that I could see if I liked it. Did he tell me that he did that? No, not until much later. He’s a goof. I’m debating whether to resubscribe to The Week. It was piling up and it’s expensive.

The swim lessons are up at the uni, but I can't log in to register. I just sent them an email asking them to help. They have several times that would work for me. I’m looking at swimsuits at Land’s End. Actually, I found some swimsuits on Amazon that might work, and they would ship more quickly.

Mimi is now lurking behind the printer upstairs. Weird cat :)

I’ve decided that I really, really hate mowing the lawn. I’ll save my pennies to hire someone to do it next year. Actually, I'm looking at robot mowers for after mom's house sells.

I did see a hummingbird while I was out there though. I bought some hummingbird nectar and need to fill the feeder.

Overslept my nap. The girls want food (done). I need to study Italian (done--I blew through it) and go to bed.

I woke up at noon and have been moving slowly. Cats: "MOOOM, when are you going to feed us?!?" I've fed them now, and all is forgiven.

I keep touching my face without realizing that I'm doing so until I've done it. No doubt, that's how I got sick last week.

Zara came running into the kitchen, saw Mimi, and turned around and ran away. She's now making loud noises in the bedroom. She makes me laugh.

I'm trying to figure out how to continue getting Bloomburg Businessweek. It's expensive, but it's my favorite business magazine. Hmm, they have it on Amazon for $12/3 months. I've got a digital copy of The Economist checked out to my browser (courtesy of the local public library). I should start reading it again. It's really expensive to get in print.

I ordered nitrial gloves. I'm feeling a little like I'm giving into the panic, but they might be nice to have when I go to the store. Of course, if I get sick, I'll catch whatever-it-is at work.

My Italian teacher canceled the lesson. I guess that I'll lounge in sweats the whole day then. (I usually shower and put on makeup for the lesson.)

Now I'm doing things online. I ordered a new battery for my electric mower. I'm trying to figure out what to do now because I want to make my salmon at 9 PM. I could work on taxes and then stop to cook. Well, I decided to make Italian flashcards--I don't need my lesson to work on vocabulary--but Anki is taking a long time to come up. Part of the problem is that I clicked it multiple times. Oops.

Another delicious Home Chef meal. No wonder that I gained weight when I was eating it regularly. I have to remember this recipe; I liked the zucchini and tomato mixture and the salmon with lemon butter. I could make it a lot more cheaply than it cost from Home Chef, but we're also paying for the recipe and instructions.

I looked to see if Mom could have groceries delivered, and she could for $10 an order, but she'll probably say that she can't afford it. I'd like to see her stay home if possible.

Now that I've eaten, I'm feeling tired, and I'm wondering if I should go to sleep. But I need to feed the hordes and clean up the kitchen first (done and almost done).

I'm hearing crinkly bag and cat-jumping-into-box noises.
