I found a gym in Memphis that has yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, and rowing. No pool though. I might have to go to the Y, unless I got a membership at the University of Memphis. Must get to Memphis. Hmm, I looked up the estimated fuel cost to get there, and it's actually cheaper than the train!

Italian was fun. I learned passive voice, which I don't think that I ever learned in French (the language that I studied the most). We also talked about modes of transportation. No Italian next week because my teacher has a conflict.

Had a nap. Now I'm trying to decide what to do. I had planned to go over to the storage place and go through more boxes, but it's overcast and kind of dark. Hmm. I also want to get more index cards to use as flashcards and some cookies. Plus, I'm hungry. Maybe I should just work in the kitchen tonight.

It's supposed to be sunnier tomorrow and Wednesday, so I'll go to storage then.

I'm going to make a frozen pizza. The pizza was good (Home Run Inn). I found some index cards and still have some cookies, so I'm going to stay home. I think that I need another nap after I feed the girls. Well no, I need to get the garbage out and get the mail (done). I now have the Managing Anxiety with CBT book, so I need to tackle it.

I found a slow cooker recipe for pineapple chicken, so I think that will be on my cooking list soon.

I'm still tired, so I'm going to post books for sale. I also want to study Italian, but I might not have much time for it. Oh, I need to do a couple of things for work too (done). And I started laundry. I almost forgot.

I listed ten books on eBay. And forgot to put my laundry in the dryer! Aargh! I might have to go to sleep while it's still drying.

I waited for my laundry to dry before taking a nap. Rain is coming our way. It's a good day to stay home and get things done.

I'm lying down for a nap. Mimi is stressed out because Zara is on the same bed! I tried to calm Mimi down, and it seems to have worked. Cats! Mimi apparently left though.

Really zonked out. The next thing that I knew, my alarm went off. Apparently I slept though the rain. Zara was rolling around on the bed looking relaxed, but I took one step towards the kitchen and zoom, she was there. I gave her her snack.

I never mentioned that my dad had a chance to join FedEx when it was first starting up as their CTO, but he turned it down because he didn't want to move to Memphis. I asked him if he ever regretted turning it down, and he said no, becoming filthy rich was never one of his goals. So there you have it.

Hmm. A local gym has Zumba classes, which I would have to pay for out of pocket, but I've always wanted to try it. I should find out how much it costs.

I found some Yoga studios in Champaign that I'd like to try. One has classes for 50+ people!

I found a nice Airbnb in downtown Memphis. No parking though; I'd have to pay to park in a lot.

Apparently I'm gearing up for a diet. I'm checking out cookbooks on Kindle Unlimited (though I'd want print versions to actually use them).

Showered my grungy bod. Made German flashcards. Now I have a crashing headache, so I'm going to lie down for a while after I feed the beasties. Couldn't sleep. Studied German.

Talked to Mom. She's doing well, although she's been sleeping a lot. She approves of my checking out Memphis after I explained what interested me. My aunt is in the hospital because her legs swelled up. The doctors and nurses are treating it, but they don't know why at this point.

I've decided not to go to Springfield tomorrow because I'd have to pay Best Buy to take my busted monitor, and I'd rather have it come out of my next paycheck.

German went well. My studying is paying off a little. Now I think I'll do the dishes and go to sleep.

I checked out the train to Memphis, which would be cheaper than driving. The question is whether I could use long-term parking at the station in Champaign. The train leaves Champaign at 10:30 PM and gets in at 6:30 AM, which would be rough. And I probably couldn't get a hotel room until the afternoon. If I want to spend $220, I could get a roomette. Ugh, the return trip is about the same. Maybe I could get a cheap hotel room in Champaign afterward. However, if I took the bus places in Memphis, it would take an hour, so I probably would have to use Uber or Lyft.

I bought Change Your Mind, Change Your Body for the Kindle. I hope that it helps me deal with my craving for sweets.

Quiet day. I'm trying to figure out what to do now. Maybe work in Canva on my printables. I got a few templates to see how they were constructed. I also need to study German and declutter. After a nap:)

Well, I napped and slept through until morning.
