Got my French homework printed off and stashed in my backpack. Got my clothes together for both days of flights. I'm getting my second wind, but I still think that I'll pack my clothes in the AM.

Intel is going to be providing foundry services to NVIDIA. I'm trying to scrape together cash to invest. Okay, transferred some money. Bought shares.

Getting up before dawn sucks. I ate breakfast and fed the cats, but I decided to go back to sleep and pack tonight. I’ll go swimming in Kauai.

The handyman came to put up the screens right after I woke up. I had a new frontier of weirdness; I took a shower while he was in the house. I trust him though. He spent the rest of the morning changing some door locks. He said that the cost of the aluminum framing on the roof will be about $4500. Sigh.

I really like my new Hawaiian hoodie. It’s a coral reef and very nice-looking. So of course, I got some food on it. Aargh.

I found out how to use the fabric AirTag holders, so now they’re securely fastened in my suitcase and small carryon bag. I’m missing a couple of them, but I have one for the backpack. They aren’t expensive, so I can order more.

It’s really cold out. I think that I’ll wear the wool trench coat tomorrow because I’ll be waiting outside for the shuttle car.

I have hot and cold running meetings, so I'm going to go to the UPS Store tomorrow before work.

I talked to the life coach, and she was her usual helpful self. I now have a list of things to do when I get back, but the TaskRabbit ones, I can do from Hawaii. We also talked about my getting a spa treatment, and I found a place that I like. I need to figure out when to go there.

Talked to my weight-loss coach, who is still like nails on a chalkboard. She wants to turn everything into an end goal, and I'm more about the process. And I have been losing weight, so I wish that she'd back off.

Mover guy called me back. He asked if the move could be later if I need it delivered later, and I said no. He said that he’d look into a “container move” and will get back to me tomorrow morning.

I got everything done that I wanted to get done for work. The pet sitter stopped by and got the key. I dashed off some things for my goal-setting class.

Had my Dare to Dream class. Put my stuff for the UPS Store in the car for tomorrow morning. I’m freezing cold so I went upstairs. Packed my main suitcase. Now I'm boiling hot, so I came downstairs to print stuff off. I just need to pack my little "jump bag," and I'll be ready to go.

Checked in and printed off my boarding pass. Printed off maps. The spa is just a short distance away from my hotel. The only thing is that with the time change, I won't be able to call them from here tomorrow morning. The time that I'd need to call them is the time that I'm being picked up. I might be able to call from my hotel in Chicago. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until I get there. Okay, my travel documents are printed off. Printed off cat instructions.

The landlord leaving stuff at my rental house can't get into the garage. I didn't know what to tell him.

I'm going to go finish off packing my little jump bag, pack my meds, clear off the mail on the table, and then go to sleep. I should get a decent night's rest.

I did get up early and shave my legs. But then I realized that I need to trim my toenails too. I'll do that after work. Also, I want to get another lock for the gym locker from Home Depot. I have one with a fixed combination, but I'll never remember it. I want one that I can set!

I'll need to stop at Meijer after swimming for a new belt and garbage bags. When I get home, I'll need to finish cleaning the sink and scrub the bathroom floor, which had litter stuck to it. Oh, and vacuum the dining room, where I was working. And take out the recycling. It'll be a busy day. And practice guitar and voice and set up for my guitar lesson tomorrow.

Oh, and my photography teacher forgot about the lesson yesterday. She's kind of flaky. We're going to meet after my Kauai trip.

Had my session with the life coach. We came up with a list of things that I need to get done. Top of the list is making a reservation for the cats to be boarded while the movers are here. And getting cleaners for the house after the movers are here.

Talked to the weight-loss coach. She was surprisingly good-natured about not talking to me when I'm in Kauai. We have meetings before and after.

Now I'm thinking of going swimming on Saturday instead of tonight because I have a lot of cleaning to do before the mover comes tomorrow. I will run my errands though.

Well, hmm. The mover guy caught me when I was about to leave and asked to reschedule for next week. We settled on Monday. Technically, I could go swimming, but I realized that I need to have keys cut at Home Depot also. My dance card is filling up.

I got to CVS and Home Depot. Got my keys made and picked up some other stuff, including a ton of garbage bags. Came home and got my frozen food inside that I had forgotten about. But now I’m wiping out. I’m thinking of going to bed shortly after dinner and getting up early.

I bought a set of AirTags and AirTag keychain holders because I’m going to have several sets of keys that might go AWOL. Anything could help.

I won't need to go to Meijer tomorrow because I ordered a belt from Amazon with a flat buckle. Actually, I fell between sizes so I ordered both sizes and will return one. And I bought hand soap.
