I'm thinking of getting a collection of posters of windows for the upstairs. I found some nice prints on Art.com. One guy took pictures out of windows in a bunch of different places (New York, San Francisco, Paris, China...) and I like his photos.

I want to get the novels by the author of Four Seasons in Rome in Italian to work on my Italian. I had an urge to start my Italian lessons again, but I should wait until after I go to Michigan.

Now I'm thinking of putting the patio in the back and leaving the side of the house for the Endless Pool. I'd have to have a vestibule at the back door for the pool, one door going to the pool and one door going outside. Unless I have French doors put in the living room, but the floor of the living room is raised up, so I'd need stairs?

Hmm. I was thinking that when I get the estate sale money, I should book a trip to New York City in December.

Had my meeting with my professor. She suggested reworking my exam and then discussing it with her. And it needs to be soon because our next exam is next week! I guess that I'll do it on Wednesday. I'm going to have two exams next week again. It'll be a fun weekend. I feel like crying again.

I'm completely at the end of my rope with the med withdrawal symptoms. I want to cry all the time and am having problems concentrating. I have my appointment with a Physician's Assistant on Thursday, and it can't happen fast enough.

I was looking at cheap dressers with fabric drawers for the guest room. It just occurred to me, though, that I have the cube organizer that I used for hats and scarves. I want to replace it with a cabinet, so I could get gray cubes to go with the rest of the furniture and use it as a dresser. And it’s (almost) free!

I chose a label maker to get when the estate sale check clears.

I finally wrestled the mat under the treadmill and plan to use it tonight.

Ugh. Mimi was trying to eat Zara’s food. I guess the days of Mimi being nice is starting to end. Oh, and Mimi was hanging out in the middle of the stairs upstairs. They are floating stairs with no backs, so she gets a great view of the downstairs from there.

Zara is kind of stressy. I don’t know if that’s because of Mimi or a reaction from the move. I tried to pet her and she hissed and smacked me.

I was looking at Lowe’s herb plants, and it looks like they don’t have them onsite yet. It’s a little early yet. I was planning to go get pots for herbs from storage this weekend, but I think that I want pots of one color (green) to make the porch look neater. I found some pots on Home Depot’s site that I like. (I’ll go get the pots from storage anyway and get did of them.)

Got the garbage out.

I have a splitting headache, so I’m going to lie down for a little while. Couldn't sleep. I suspect that the non-stop headaches are also a withdrawal symptom.

Just remembered a meeting for our group project for class. We had to submit a topic for class. Our outline is due next week along with two exams. Holy cow.

My brain feels like it's full of cotton. I think that I'll do some tidying up and go to bed and get up early to work on homework.

I got the blankets, sheets, and pillows put away in the guest room, although actually, I should wash them. I tried to wrestle the mattress onto the futon to no avail. Then I opened up the futon and wrestled the mattress on top of it, and that worked. (And now I verified that you can open the futon in there.) I should clean the mattress before doing anything else. Wayfair suggests an enzyme cleaner and baking soda to clean the mattress, so I'll get some after I get paid tomorrow. I have some stuff to throw out and go to Goodwill that was piled in there.

I also pulled the cube organizer out in the living room, but the backing is loose, so I need to pick up some nails at Lowe's and fix it before I bring it upstairs.
