I looked into a Comcast cable package with more channels (namely CNN), and I'd be paying almost as much as I was before I decreased my cable package. Sling it is. Sling has a deal in which you can get a Google Nest Hub if you prepay three months of Sling TV. Can't decide. I'll sleep on it.

I woke up early, which is good. I'm catching up on my sleep. Fed us all. Zara has been coming into the kitchen, which I'm glad to see.

I'm looking at instructions to build your own bed tent. But I don't think that Mimi would like it. Maybe I should forget it.

I had a nice nap. I had some Chinese food for lunch.

I figured out how to rearrange stuff in the bedroom to set up the sewing machine in there. I've started putting stuff away to make room, but I'm sitting down because my back hurts. I probably won't make it to get the folding table for the sewing machine because I'm waiting for my clothes to finish drying before I take my shower.

Forgot to mention last night that I was looking at a map (and Mapquest) to see how to get from the Phoenix airport to Prescott, and Mimi was standing on the map of Prescott. Oh no, it's Catzilla! Run!

Called Comcast. They got me CNN without my paying extra, so I said "Okay". CNN's New Year's Eve, here I come! I was looking at Google Nest Hubs on Mercari because I was going to get the one on Sling, but I don't really need one. Amazing how you can convince yourself that you want something that you weren't considering before. It makes more sense to save money for my trip.

Paid a couple of bills that aren't on automatic payment. Checked my utility bill, and it's still within the realm of reason.

It just occurred to me that I have some empty hat boxes, and I could use one as a sewing basket and another one for crochet stuff. And they're free! I need a pincushion though. I can't believe how many different types of pincushion there are. Are the ones that you can wear on your wrist helpful? One of the sewing books that I checked out suggested making your own pincushion.

Ran out to get soda. Wow, it's cold and windy out. Winter is back.

Looked through the sewing books that I checked out and decided on the one that I want to buy. Still kind of expensive though.

Don't know what's going on with me. Earlier, I had a sore throat. Now I feel like burrowing under a pile of blankets. I don't want to get sick. (I suppose that's stating the obvious.)

Watched an episode of The Crown. Looked at what's on sale at Land's End. I'm trying to decide whether to get some long underwear on sale. I won't use it much, but if we have subzero temps, I'd be glad to have it.

I'm going to go to sleep and, I hope, sleep the creeping crud off.

Got up a little before 10 AM, which was later than my alarm went off but okay.

I'm busy cleaning, and the girls do not approve. They're staying well out of the way. The kitchen floor really needs scrubbing, but I mopped it. The bathroom is done except for the floor. I need to throw myself together now.

Met with the pet sitter. She seems nice. The girls went and hid. I've booked and paid for the service now.

Had a bite to eat. I think that it's nap time now.

The sewing machine is out for delivery. I set it up that FedEx will text me when it arrives (if I don't hear the delivery person). The sewing machine was delivered and it works. My chef's knife and sharpener were also delivered. Call me a domestic goddess, ha ha. The chef's knife looks lethal.

I found a place online where I can get sweats. Need to wait until I get paid though.

Had a nice nap.

Talked to Mom. She thinks that Prescott sounds interesting too.

Trying to decide what to do after I eat. I'm feeling kind of low energy, so maybe I'll write some Christmas cards.

Note to self: Prescott has a chorale. Far out!
