Well, Hell

Woke up at 9 after some strange dreams. One was that I was visiting with my ex-husband. (His wife was in the dream too.) I think that I was looking for a job in the area (in California). The other was that I was doing some work on a Melissa Etheridge tour. We were still in California. Someone asked me where are some good restaurants in Sunnyvale, which is weird because if she was playing the South Bay, she would have been in Mountain View. I said that I didn't know and that I knew San Jose better.

Mimi wanted onto my lap when I woke up, but I was too sleepy. We finally compromised with her lying right next to me. That was okay.

Bedhead with my new haircut involves my hair sticking straight out to the sides. Yikes!

I'm looking into renewable energy ETFs, but won't be able to invest in them until after my move.

Oh hell. I hope that New Orleans will be okay when Hurricane Ida passes over. It's a special place.

I've been surprisingly faithful about logging my meals in Noom. I need to get back to exercise.

Got us all fed. Posted and watched some Paralympic swimming. Oh, I love swimming. I love watching it and doing it. Threw in some laundry. Now it's nap time.

Couldn't sleep. Just as well because I have a lot to do. Ate lunch. I keep debating whether to do homework or clean the bathroom, which is stupid. Just pick one. I need to do both. I think the problem is that I don't want to do either one but too bad.

I think that I want to make a Basil-Corn-Tomato Bake next instead of the tuna. I'll go to the store tomorrow.

I think that I use food to combat boredom. I'm working on my homework now and really want a cookie even though I'm not hungry. I looked at LJ instead for a break.

Okay, homework assignment #1 done.

Now mower guy says that it's too hot to mow. Sigh.

I was listening to the audio book that I was going to listen to while cleaning the bathroom, and got drowsy, so I decided to take a nap. First, though, I tried to find my toilet brush, which is nowhere to be seen. What could I have done with it?

Talked to Mom. She has had two small spots on her lung that the doctors were monitoring. Well, one of the spots has doubled in size. The doctors are going to do a biopsy. I'm concerned, needless to say, but Mom is surprisingly upbeat. The weird thing is that I had a feeling that something was wrong in the Thursday-Friday timeframe, which is when Mom found out. I had thought that something was wrong with my aunt though.

I'm going to go bed early after emailing some recipes to Mom. I need to do more homework and clean the bathroom, but I think that would wake me up now. I'll get up early and do stuff.

Not only does Zara have a different spot every week or so, but she has a different eating spot too, and she trains me where to feed her. This home is not-so-secretly run by cats.

Italian was hard. Even the other student, who lived in Italy for a year and speaks Italian well, was confused by prepositions. I also discovered that I need to review verbs.

Noom is changing my eating habits. I wanted bread because we were talking about it in Italian, but I had a celery stick and some hummus instead. But I did have one cookie.

Had a nice nap and a bite to eat. Then I practiced a little before my voice lesson. Voice went well. My teacher is really great. I also pull out more of the stops when I know someone else is listening.

Did some Nooming. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do next. I think homework and some laundry. Just remembered to take out the garbage for pickup (done). I'm making soup for dinner.

Oh, I have a taste for biscuits and gravy. Nope. Maybe when I go to Madison if they have biscuits and gravy in Wisconsin. I found a place that has some. And they're open 24 hours!

The U of I is sending an email about the new semester talking about compassion and mental health. When I went there, my ex-husband's dad died suddenly in an accident. One of his professors told him that he wasn't getting over his dad's death fast enough. So I'm dubious.

I'm tired, so I'm going to go to bed early. Sleep helps you lose weight!
