It’s pouring rain out. I’m glad for my raincoat; it kept me dry. Bella lasted for a few minutes and then went up on the porch, out of the rain. The ferns will like it.

Woke up at 7 AM. Bella found an enormous stick that she was dragging around. She chewed up one of the ferns :(

RIP Pope Francis. You were one of the better ones.

Yay. Another colleague is driving a colleague to his hotel (we're having an all-staff meeting Tuesday and Wednesday). So I can stop worrying. I went to lunch late though because the person "on-call" had an errand to run.

I'm trying to get ChatGPT on my phone but am having problems.

Crud. I don't have the money for the Doggie Day Care. I'll call them later today. Actually, I have enough cash. I won't be able to go out to dinner tomorrow night. I neeeed my check from the trust!

I found an outfit to wear tomorrow. Black-and-white striped top, tan vegan leather blazer, and jeans.

My psychiatrist recommended that I take a vitamin B12 and D supplement.

Bella is now insisting on me bribing her with treats to come in. It works though :) Now she’s trotting around with a pair of my underwear that she’s trashed.

I've been exchanging emails with my dad about Paris and Europe. I forgot that he looked for some books in French for me while he was in Paris.

Hmm. I was reading susandennis’ post about WiFi connected shades, and I wonder if I could get one on a timer in my bedroom to open when I’m supposed to wake up. That would rock. I need to do some research. Yes, it looks like it’s possible with Alexa or Google Home.

Got us all fed. Now what? I need to get up early to drop Bella off at doggie daycare and get to my meeting. Oh. I need to run an errand. And go to the library too.

Crud. I got myself together, but my phone’s battery is low. I think that I’ll skip the library today (I need to bring my charger to the meeting tomorrow) and let it charge while I post. I should be able to go to the store though.

I feel like all I'm saying is "No." "Bella, leave Oliver alone." "Oliver, quit chewing my straw." "Bella, stop barking at Lily." But they've settled down now. Sort of.

I’m losing my voice and am wondering if I should call in sick. Yeah, I did. It feels like someone rubbed my throat with steel wool.

The puppy is licking everything that she can reach :) Oliver (I’m assuming) knocked over the orchids. I gave Bella her ball. I’m not sure what she did with it. Fed the beasties. Bella is a “half-a-lap” dog.

I’m getting more money from the sale of Mom’s house than I thought, so I’m wondering if I should go solar. I found a solar calculator, but I need to find out how much energy I’m using. Okay, solar costs less than I thought. I might do it. It would cost me the equivalent of $1000 a year while I'm in the house. I'll have to check, but I think that's cheaper than my current energy bill. Yeah, it is. I also requested a quote on a heat pump. Why can't places email me quotes? Why do they have to call me? I'm not answering my phone. I DON'T LIKE PHONE CALLS!

Watched President Carter’s funeral until CNN’s feed started flaking out. Slept until 1 PM. Freaked out when I woke up because I forgot that I called in sick.

I need to remember to take the ball when I take Bella outside to play fetch with her.

The shelter from which I adopted Bella has a labradoodle who is deaf. He interests me, but I wonder how hard it would be to work with his deafness. And I have to wait until I get more money before adopting another pup. Actually, I did find an Australian cattle dog/blue heeler dog that sounds great, but the same applies. And they want a “family reference”. My dad is not going to help me get a dog, so I don’t know whom I would use.

Bella was ripping up the paper towels. In front of me! I rescued them.

Ack! They’re predicting more snow tonight. 3 to 4 inches. Must remember to charge the snow blower.

Bella and I played outside with the ball. She was having a blast. She was trotting around with it in her mouth. A passerby with a dog said that she was a pretty dog :) Bella was shy with the dog. She now has the ball with her in bed.

I looked up dog daycare per one_raido’s comment and also dog groomers because I could picture Bella getting muddy in the Spring.

Oh lord, she is squeaking the ball.

I was petting Bella and I stopped, so she got up off the bed and flumped into the dog bed. My little drama queen :)

Tried to go back to sleep but couldn’t sleep.

It occurred to me that I should get the TV in the bedroom set up after Bella wakes up. And I should move the pictures.

Cool. Bella’s collar shipped.

The puppy was whining because she wanted on my lap, but Lily is there. Life is tough.

Bella pooped in the bathroom while I was upstairs. I got it cleaned up and put the bag outside so that it doesn’t stink up the place. Then I took her outside, but she didn’t need to do anything. I gave her her ball, and she’s currently squeaking it. She really wants to eat the dry cat food. I told her that she has her own food, but it isn’t as tasty as forbidden fruit. Well, she had finished her food so mea culpa. I fed her.

I want to make some Ramen to soothe my throat (done and eaten). Had frozen yogurt for dessert and Lily wanted it.

I've got the cat dishes soaking. Zara and Oliver went nose to nose. Then Zara hissed, but still, progress. Oliver got upstairs in Mimi's lair, and that didn't go so well. I've since dumped him out. He's getting smarter about how I was keeping him out, using the gate itself to corral him.

I think that I want to go back to bed soon.

Oliver jumped on me a couple of times when I was trying to sleep. Sigh. He and Zara had words. Nonetheless, I woke up at 4 AM. Mimi was downstairs. Oliver seems to be asleep somewhere. It’s kind of nice being in the quiet.

Walmart has a ten-gallon fish tank for only $44.98. And I can have it delivered! Ordered and delivered.

Oops. Oliver is up. He’s following me around again. He was rolling on the table, knocked my soda over and my glasses, and I stepped on my glasses. Sigh. I’m down to one pair of glasses, so I need to order another pair. I’m also nicknaming him “Dennis the Menace “.

He ran under my feet and I stepped on him. He’s in the bedroom, and Zara ran away. He dug his claws in my arm. He needs to settle down. He burrowed under the covers at my feet and let me sleep.

He and Zara had words again. He’s now dozing on the bed. He definitely needs an “off” button. I fed Zara and Mimi, and he was interested in the food, so I gave him some, and he didn’t eat it. Not surprised because he ate so much yesterday.

Zara and Mimi got into a squabble because they’re stressed.

I shut Oliver in the bathroom when I got my groceries in. Oliver fell behind the dryer. I think that I’ll also shut him in the bathroom while I get the garbage and recycling out.

I’m going to try to take a short nap. I’m tired! Oliver is clearly asleep somewhere, and peace reigned throughout the land.

Oliver has to do EVERYTHING that I do. I stepped out of the shower, and he stepped in, shaking his paws because it was wet. I TOLD him that it was wet!

I went to the Humane Society to meet Aldi, who will be known as Lily. (Oliver’s shelter name was Walmart.) She seemed more interested in the toy than in me, but she was cute, and I told them that I would adopt her. They said that I could pick her up tomorrow. Just as well because I wanted to stop and get BandAids and return my library books.

Oliver has taken over my chair in the kitchen. He was resting his head on me and purring. He’s lucky that he’s cute.

Uh-oh. Zara was on my lap, but Oliver came in. Zara started hissing and growling and then left. Now she came back and they’re both on the bed. Much kitty drama….I’m glad to see Zara on the bed though.

Oh dear. President Carter died. Well, he had a good, long life.

Zara and Oliver both were snoozing on the bed.

Later, Zara woke up, realized that she was on the bed with Oliver, and ran away.

Holy. Cow.

I’m getting the dog that I applied for. It’s going to be a full house! I’ll be picking her up on Friday. They said that she's a really laid-back dog, which is what we need. No high-energy dogs here!

My mind is blown!

I just texted the person from whom I'm adopting her to find out what food she's been eating.

Oliver needs to learn not to jump on the computer. I picked him up and put him on the ground, which seems to help. I need a squirt bottle.

I ordered a new pair of glasses from Zenni. I chose a similar one to the ones that I ordered from Target and really love.

I think that I'll go to bed early--although I need to work on the aquarium--and get up early to go to PetSmart before I pick up Lily.

Back from swimming. I was in the group that had swum before, but my crawl stroke sucks. My legs keep sinking. My arm strokes are okay. One of the teachers said that well, you aren’t expected to be good at the first class. But the other two people who were working on strokes were better than me.

Took a nap and I am so sleepy. I need to go out and mow after the girls finish eating. I got the back mowed. I’ll mow the part by the street tomorrow. I had planned to seed on Wednesday, but I have my music classes, so it’ll have to be Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday. I’m almost better enough to go to yoga too.

I need to work on homework but I'm tired. I'm going to feed the cats, do dishes, scoop cat boxes, and go to bed.

Kris Kristofferson died. Bummer. Great songwriter.

I was looking at Nest doorbells, thermostats, and cameras, and I think that I’ll need an electrician unless the handyman can install them. Speaking of electricity, I’m looking at solar companies, but that will be a project for another year. Now I'm looking at Ring devices.

Woke up before my alarm. Gave Zara her sedative in her food. Breakfast, nap, lunch.

Zara is clearly stoned. I hope that helps me get her in the carrier. It did. That sedative is a miracle drug. She didn’t fight me at all or yowl. Mimi was in the next room and didn’t freak out.

We’re back. Zara got a little testy when they clipped her nails but otherwise was okay. She was good when they gave her the shot. They’re going to call me with an estimate for a dental visit.

It’s raining, so I’ll get keys cut another day. I brought my BistroMD meals in.

Took another nap. Zara came upstairs to nose around! Maybe the sedative is wearing off.

Started laundry. Went through a box and a basket from the crawl space. I don’t see the player piano rolls. I’ll have to look in the basement. No, they're not there either. They do have piano rolls on eBay. Brought down a big bag of garbage.

The organizer’s assistant is coming tomorrow to throw stuff outside out so I can get rid of the dumpster. So I need to get up early (ish). I’ll go to bed when my laundry is in the dryer.

I forgot to say RIP Tommy Smothers. You fought the good fight. I just got a book about the Smothers Brothers.

Oh good. The paint swatches for the kitchen have shipped.

I forgot to mention yesterday that I heard the news about Sinéad O'Connor and gasped. I hope that she has found peace.

I don't know why I'm so tired today. I got up early but went back to sleep because I was so tired. And I napped at lunch.

I'm wondering if I should start dieting and get BistroMD meals. I'm looking for diet-friendly desserts because I have a sweet tooth. I'm looking at frozen yogurt and fruit. Any suggestions welcome! I got some suggestions from ChatGPT and Google Bard. (Google Bard won because it linked to recipes.) But I'll need some mixing bowls and pans, and I haven't found any in the house. I just bought some metal mixing bowls. I could use a food processor too. Mom said that she had one, but I'm not sure where it is. I bought a refurbished Cusinart on eBay. I'll take it back with me.

I signed up for BistroMDs plan. We'll see how it goes. I also sent an inquiry to a weight loss accountability coach.

My motivation is to be able to walk more easily. (I get winded.) Looking better is a motivation too, but not my primary motivation. I bought some books on weight loss. Oh, maybe looking better is a major motivation. I'm kidding myself.

I left my glasses outside. Way to go.

I ran errands, singing Simon and Garfunkel's "America" in the car. The clothes returns are on their way. I've got my meds. I got some pretty nail polish at CVS for my toes. (I think that Walgreens will get my prescriptions back though because they are offering Doordash for meds.) I got a magazine about losing weight, also at CVS. And I got some sparkling water at Walgreens.

Aww. I closed my eyes briefly, and Mimi crashed out next to me. She's been very cuddly lately.

Somehow, it got late. I need to get to bed soon so that I can take my shower before work and run more errands at lunchtime.

I have one thing to say: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Today is the day that I have work and class, my long day. Mom asked me when I could help her. I told her that I had a meeting in the morning and class in the afternoon. Then I told her that I'd skip the meeting (which was a training class) in the morning. I thought that she needed me to move boxes so that she could get to stuff. She mentioned that she wanted some tchotchkes brought downstairs and also some photo albums. I thought that there was no rush on that.

Wrong. At the end of my lunch, she asked me when I was going to move the stuff, and I said that I needed to go to class and I'd do it afterward. She freaked out, and said that we weren't going to get stuff done before we'd have to leave on Saturday. I told her that I'd ask to take tomorrow off. (My boss said yes.)

Mind you, I told her that I would have work and class before I came here, but that doesn't seem to matter when she's stressed out.

I did move the stuff after my classes. After dinner, she wanted more stuff moved. I asked her what stuff, and she said that she'd have to go upstairs to show me and she was tired now and would have liked to tell me earlier. She did go upstairs and showed me and I moved the stuff. (This whole time, I almost fell down the stairs twice and my wobbly knee hurt.) Then she sorted out some books that she wanted, and I went to the garage to look for the James Dean book that she wanted, which was in a pile of book boxes to go to Half-Price books. I found it, which made Mom happy.

She said that she talked to her friend Lotus, who wasn't interested in coming here to help out and told Mom that she'd have to decide how much time she was going to spend on going through stuff at my aunt's house. Mom said that she'll need to get movers to bring stuff down, and I told her that I was talking to movers about the entertainment center.

And Mom vented a lot, which seemed to make her feel marginally better. She seemed in better spirits than she was earlier. I have heartburn. I did get some homework done though.

Oh, and RIP Queen Elizabeth. I've been taking sneak peeks at the news all day after someone said that she was dying on LJ.

I overslept and figured out that Italian is at 11 now, so I skipped breakfast. The cats, of course, got their food because they rule. Well, my teacher isn't there, so I guess I got it wrong. He said that it's at 1. The extra sleep helped, anyway.

I read an article about the shortage of therapists right now. I found an online therapist in Better Help who sounds good, but I'm not sure if I can afford it. I need to keep working on my budget and see if I can squeeze out the money.

I also looked into professional organizers, but $125 an hour! Eeek! (But that would get me going.)

I also read an interesting article about why gas prices are high in the US.

I studied Italian, given that I had the time. Italian went well. We wound up comparing health insurance in Italy and the US. My teacher thinks that it's strange that we don't have single-payer insurance. Me too. He encouraged me to go study in Italy when I retire. We have been reading a story all in the conditional tense. The narrator was talking about a guy she was into, and it turned out to be her professor! Strange story.

Overslept my nap. Zara came in to tell me she's hungry. Now both cats are staring at me. Okay, okay. Kitty drama when we left my bedroom because they tried to leave at the same time. They were hissing and batting at each other.

William Hurt died. Bummer. Too young.

It's gotten late, so I've decided to stay home and go to the grocery store on Monday. I feel like puttering around. Got the garbage out. Zara is no longer into the printer box, but I decided it would be a good box for kitchen stuff, so I'll stash it in storage. I plan to work on more boxes and half-empty bottles of soda and such tonight, but my neighbors go to bed early, so I'll run the extra garbage out in the morning.

Practiced piano. I have a book of short, simplified excerpts from classical pieces, so I worked on an excerpt from Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, which I love. I think that it's more haunting in clarinet though. (I tried learning clarinet in grade school, but I really wanted to learn flute, so it didn't last long.)

Put a cat litter box to soak overnight. Finished sorting through a box. My back hurt, so I went to create more German flashcards for numbers. I want to review my Italian numbers, but I want to be done with German numbers first. I also found Web sites with how to tell time in German and days of the week in German. Useful!

Anyway, it's gotten late, so I need to do my nighttime chores and get to sleep. Morning will come too quickly with the time change.

Dense fog this morning. The joys of winter.

I was going to wait until Zara got up to feed the cats, but now she's up. She's perched on my shoulder making disgusting noises as she grooms herself. Okay, got them (and me) fed.

Went back to sleep and slept for four hours. I've got a bad case of the shakes. Started laundry. Started a to-do list for today. I watched an Italian video on Lingopie. It was good, but when you clicked on a vocabulary word, the video jumped around. It's good for picking up vocabulary though.

Oh dear. Betty White died. Rest in peace.

Took another nap. I'm finally feeling well-rested. I'm still having IBS symptoms, so I'm going to stay home today and get my library books on Monday. I have food in the house.

I made an appointment for a COVID test on Wednesday, that being the earliest date that Walgreens had available. I'll have to duck out of work early to take it.

Finally got my lazy butt into the shower. My restoration is complete. Now to start on my to-do list. I'm also making toasted ravioli, which should be good. It was pretty good and filling. And I have leftovers!

Emptied the car. Did some dishes.

Called Mom when I started watching drunk CNN hosts on their New Year's Eve show, but she said that she was having problems breathing (which is worrisome), so she said that she was going to bed. But then she called me at midnight Eastern time to wish me a Happy New Year. I watched the countdown for Central Time (Don Lemon jumping out of a lemon cake was a highlight), but now I'm ready to crash. Happy New Year!

Apparently my dad canceled his road trip due to COVID surges. (He hasn't had the vaccine.) I'm not sure where he was going to go, but New Mexico and Oklahoma were involved. Plus his computer crashed and had to be rebuilt.

Zara: "Hi Mommy! I want ALL the foods!" She ate Mimi's left over food and all of her own food.

Well, heck. I can't find my water squirt bottle anywhere. I have a blazer with wrinkles that needs spraying. I guess that I'll throw it in the dryer.

Olympia Dukakis has died. Bummer. I loved her in Moonstruck and Tales of the City. Which reminds me, I haven't seen Moonstruck in a while. It's one of my favorite movies.

I did check into a Knoxville-Chattanooga trip. If I want to stay downtown, and I do, I'd have to spend the big bucks. So not right now.

Got my lazy butt into the shower and ran out to water the garden and get mail. My spool cap and Costa Rica book were there. The book looks very interesting. I really would like to go to the Sloth Sanctuary, but the tours that I'm interested in don't go there.

Printed off homework, but I want to make dinner now. Made my pizza skillet--yum. Does anyone have an easy, low-cal recipe using chicken breasts? I have a bunch of them.

Talked to Mom. She sounds in better spirits than she has been. She's going to visit a friend in Western Michigan. Mom thinks that I should hold out for the longer Costa Rica trip. Mom was talking about eating sweets, and I brought out a lemon pound cake mix that I might make.

Mixed up the cake mix and put it in the oven. Now I'm tackling homework. My last assignments for this semester!

Kept on hitting the snooze button until a little before 10 AM. Glad that I can sleep in tomorrow. Went back to sleep for a little while after breakfast too.

Poor Zara. She was snoozing on my bed, but then I opened the bathroom door and turned on the fan to clear the steam out after my shower. She was looking at me like "Why did you have to do that and interrupt my sleep?"

My boss remembered to bring in donuts today. I was jonesing for a donut.

Hmm. If I want to live in Baltimore when I retire, I could have a house with a yard to garden in. I'd have to get to know the neighborhoods better though. I just fell in love with a townhouse that's walking distance to shops and has a back yard that you can garden in. It has front and back porches too.

Grumpy Cat has died. And Herman Wouk. RIP.

Not sure what to do with myself now. Too tired to do serious cleaning. Maybe I should work on getting the junk off of the table. Or I could work on goal setting.

I woke up at noon today after a nice long sleep. The girls are restless.

Forgot to turn the coffee on.

Holy cow. There was a massive earthquake in Alaska. Time to turn on the news.

Called my doctor. Made a grocery list. Did a load of laundry.

I opened up the closet door in the living room while I was making the grocery list, and Mimi rushed in. She's now lying in the doorway, so I can't close it. Yay, verily, she's a cat.

Took a short nap. Ate lunch.

Ran errands. Went to the bank, got gas, and went to the grocery stores. Aldi had jumper cables on deep discount, and I figured that I should have some, so I bought them.

Came home and put groceries away. Then I tackled PiYo. It's hard. I'd like to see pictures of the poses, so I might play the video on my computer and take screen captures. Mimi likes the yoga mat. I'd also like to take a video of me doing the poses to see if I'm doing them right. I found a list of the most common yoga poses. That will help. I'm wondering if I should take a yoga class for a while to get the poses right.

Ate dinner. I'm going to pay some bills and do some homework, and then go to bed. Zara is snuggling on my lap. Aww.

RIP President Bush.

After procrastinating for a while, I finished the homework for one class. I need to get a notebook for the second class tomorrow. No, I found a binder and some paper. That'll do.

Read a couple of chapters of a book about REITs. It has been helpful already. I've invested in a REIT for senior living centers and nursing homes, and it said that most of the money from health care REITs comes from dividends, not appreciation. I don't feel comfortable investing in apartment REITs, and investing in retail REITs is crazy with all the mall vacancies. Anyway, I learned something. (The autocorrect wants to change REITs to TWITs. Hmm.)

It seems like a lot of investing is finding investments that won't work for you. Though I'm accumulating a list of investments to buy during a recession.

Woke up at 6:30 AM. Went back to sleep. Woke up at 10 AM. Got up, but felt groggy, so I went back to sleep. Woke up at 2 PM. Feel great. Mimi was fractious because she was hungry, but I hastily fed her.

I'm still wondering what's going on in Hawaii, so I decided to look at Hawaii Web cams. Apparently I'm not the only one that had that idea. But now I need to update Flash. I supplied my Facebook account to enter a contest for a free trip to Hawaii. I'm getting "This Webcam is currently not available". Guess that they took them in.

Another local store is going out of business, which doesn't bode well for Lincoln, but everything's 50% off. I've never had much luck with their clothes, but they have a set of cast-iron skillets that I want to get when I get paid.

I cleaned the kitchen listening to Canine Confidential. Interesting, so far. I forgot to mention that I was out for a walk, and a dog that I thought would greet me growled at me. I backed up and fell over the curb. His human said that she didn't know why he did that and usually he was friendly, and I said that there must have been something about me that he didn't like.

Mom is going to visit my aunt and uncle in Chicago next week. She said that she was going to get an early start and would stop if she needed to rest.

And rest in peace, John McCain. I didn't agree with all his political stances, but he was a good and honorable person. We need more good people in politics.

We have a few rooms in the house. So both cats are spending the day in the bedroom. Even though they don't like each other. Sheesh :)

Done with my load files. Hallelujah.

I was surprised that some of Aretha Franklin's best-known songs ("Respect," "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman") weren't written by her. Nonetheless, she OWNED those songs. (Otis Redding, who wrote "Respect," called it the song that was taken away from him.) What a singer.

Apparently Walmart does have tofu. I need to look for a tofu stir-fry recipe. Though my system might go into shock over the healthy food.

Quite the light show outside. I wish that the storm would produce some serious rain though.

I've been sniffy and have a sore throat today and might be getting a cold. I can't stop yawning. But I need to make it into work tomorrow. I need to go to bed early and try to sleep it off.

I was supposed to install our library system on the upgraded front desk computer, but IT didn't finish upgrading it. I hope that they finish tomorrow because I'm off on Friday.

Here's a lovely tribute to Stephen Hawking by Leonard Mlodinow, who co-wrote books with him (and also wrote books about science for the layman). Four degrees of separation: I was friends with Leonard Mlodinow's brother Steve in high school. And I met my ex-husband through Steve.

Leonard Mlodinow wrote a book called The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives, which I dipped into but didn't finish. I should check it out again and finish it this time. Boy, do I relate to the topic.

I forgot to put the trash out yesterday to be collected. And I have a full trash can. Drat.

Harlee has been wanting breakfast in bed the last couple of days and, because she's an old lady, I've been giving it to her in bed. Anything to keep my girl eating. (Hmm. No one gives ME breakfast in bed. That's because I'm staff :))

The colder weather is back (30s F). In a weird way, I'm glad. I'm not sure why. It's supposed to be back in the 50s again by the weekend though.

I have a tedious, mindless task at work that I try to make progress on every day. So I played classical music to do the "listen to classical music every day" thing. I'll have to buy the book of classical music selections sometime. I can't get it through interlibrary loan.

My boss was talking to me about possibly teaching some Information Literacy classes in the future, so I'm looking into Toastmasters and possibly volunteer tutoring. (Do I want to go to Toastmasters this week? I was looking forward to staying home on Friday.)

I found some volunteer online tutoring for children in Africa and the Philippines. I also found a group that will pay your room and board at various spots in Europe if you provide English practice. Some of the places are English-speaking though, which is strange: Ireland and the UK, and Malta. (Although their calendar shows only spots in Eastern Europe. Maybe the English-speaking spots are spots for ESL training?) You still have to pay your airfare. But (in a particular program) they will provide training in teaching English as a Foreign Language and give you some credits in it. They have a few sites in Poland, so I could get in touch with my roots, but I'd like to learn some Polish first. Damn, Language Loop in Chicago is no longer offering Polish classes on the weekend.

Damn, Ursula LeGuin has died. I keep meaning to read some of her books.

I decided not to apply for the research grant. My research project isn't the type of project that they're looking for.
