I more-or-less woke up to my alarm today. Far out. It's slightly rainy and cooler.  
 
I forgot to mention that I checked out the second season of Victoria from the library. And I have a lot to do this weekend, so I'm not sure how I'm going to make this work. it would give me some time to do some mending though. I also need to see if the new cable fixes the color problem playing DVDs from my DVD player. 
 
I opened one of the kitchen windows last night and got some cool air in. I closed it before I went to bed though because there are druggies in town who break into houses. I tried to open my bedroom window for a little while, but one of the latches was stuck.   
 
I found some food that Harlee really likes. It's some of the cheap Fancy Feast food that I feed the other two, which isn't good for her kidneys, but at this point, I'll feed her what she wants. They have a variety that's shredded meat, and Harlee gobbles it right up. 
 
I found some decent Airbnb deals on Kauai island. Oddly enough, the best deals are in a kind of ritzy area that's near a gorgeous bay. Won't argue with that though. Basically, there are deals anywhere but Maui. I'm going to start tracking flight prices with Google Flights to get a better idea of how far out to book a flight to get the best rate. (No, I don't have the money right now, but at least, I can educate myself.)  I found a book in our library about a woman who chucked her high-powered job to move to Kauai, and she got involved in environmental concerns. Must read.
 
There's a lot of different things going on at work at the same time. I've started making lists to try to not forget anything. We got our dumpster, and I've started throwing out old periodical indexes from the days before online databases. Throwing them out is fun in a weird way. Boom!!
 
My vision insurance posted a newsletter. In it, it talked about photo-sensitive glasses lenses that are good for indoors, outdoors, and driving. I want that, even if it is expensive.
 
I scored some free ("open") textbooks on computer science to read this summer.
 
Thunderstorm. More booms. Rain. We're going to have book soup in the dumpster. It was just a stray storm though, and it's over.
 
I found a look that I like with the cheap eyeshadows from Dollar Tree and a L'Oreal eyeliner. I went to Dollar Tree over dinner, and loaded up with more eyeshadow and some nail polish. The guy checking me out said, "Mmm, mmm, mmm. Someone has a date." I didn't say anything :)
 
Apparently Gmail now has an autocomplete feature that suggests entire e-mails. Why so I feel like it's the start of the end of the world as we know it? It probably just means that I'm getting old.

Back Home

I'm really bummed about Carrie Fisher dying. I got a late start yesterday partially because I was watching the news. Rest in peace.

I also ran late because I did a makeover on my mom. I discovered that it's a lot harder to put makeup on someone else. I need to practice.

Finally, I left. Someone cut me off in Toledo, but I managed to slam on the brakes. I slammed them so hard that my suitcase flipped over. Then I missed a turnoff in Indianapolis. I wound up taking I-70 SW into Illinois, which got me about an hour south of the correct route. Then I picked up a route north that got me to the right route. I wound up rolling in about 3 AM.

Mimi, not surprisingly, hasn't been letting me out of her sight, and was on my lap last night when I was trying to eat. I expected Harlee to chew me out, but she was dubious about me at first, but then warmed up and was marking me like crazy. I just picked up Zara, so the gang's all here. Zara seems happy to be home, but isn't happy that I'm leaving her in the bedroom for now while she and Mimi get reacquainted.

I think that I'm going to spend a quiet day at home, mostly catching up on my classes. If I get ambitious, I'll work on organizing the bedroom and cleaning the bathroom. I need to get milk, so I might run out later.

Added: I'd really like to move closer to my mom, but can't do that now. I need to pare down my stuff and save up money for a move. I've always wanted to live in Ohio, which is closer to my mom, so I need to keep my eyes open.
