I found a gym in Memphis that has yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, and rowing. No pool though. I might have to go to the Y, unless I got a membership at the University of Memphis. Must get to Memphis. Hmm, I looked up the estimated fuel cost to get there, and it's actually cheaper than the train!

Italian was fun. I learned passive voice, which I don't think that I ever learned in French (the language that I studied the most). We also talked about modes of transportation. No Italian next week because my teacher has a conflict.

Had a nap. Now I'm trying to decide what to do. I had planned to go over to the storage place and go through more boxes, but it's overcast and kind of dark. Hmm. I also want to get more index cards to use as flashcards and some cookies. Plus, I'm hungry. Maybe I should just work in the kitchen tonight.

It's supposed to be sunnier tomorrow and Wednesday, so I'll go to storage then.

I'm going to make a frozen pizza. The pizza was good (Home Run Inn). I found some index cards and still have some cookies, so I'm going to stay home. I think that I need another nap after I feed the girls. Well no, I need to get the garbage out and get the mail (done). I now have the Managing Anxiety with CBT book, so I need to tackle it.

I found a slow cooker recipe for pineapple chicken, so I think that will be on my cooking list soon.

I'm still tired, so I'm going to post books for sale. I also want to study Italian, but I might not have much time for it. Oh, I need to do a couple of things for work too (done). And I started laundry. I almost forgot.

I listed ten books on eBay. And forgot to put my laundry in the dryer! Aargh! I might have to go to sleep while it's still drying.

The rain has started. It's going to rain on and off all day.

Italian went well. Mimi joined in at the beginning. We talked about animals that bring good luck in Italy. Now it's storming.

I want to take a nap, but my pension fund is having a meeting. I want to hear their update. I found out that only half of the pension liabilities are covered by their investments, and they need to rely on the legislature for additional funding. Sounds shaky to me. They pointed out that you forfeit cost-of-living increases if you take a lump sum, but still, funding sounds iffy.

I've been enjoying the scones, so I looked for a recipe to make them from scratch. I found one with sour cream and raisins for which I have all the ingredients, so I'll make them after I finish the carrot-cake ones.

Had a nice nap. Had a strange dream about cataloging books. I was groggy when I woke up, so I finished going through my box of books. I got a couple of books to keep, a couple of books to sell, a bunch of books to toss, and a bunch of books for the library. Zara has discovered the empty box :) And now Mimi has checked it out.

Worked on the kitchen. Got the garbage out. Opened a couple of windows to get some air in. Had dinner, but it was the last of the veggie bake, and I might need to have some soup before bed too.

Oh ack. I went to list some books on Amazon, only to find that two books required approval to sell, which I got but it hasn't gone through the system yet, one had too many listings, and then I got a good one, but it wanted me to change my debit card again. Sigh. I need to check eBay. Oh, at least I got the Amazon seller app, which you can use to scan barcodes. Oh, and eBay has the same thing too! Oh, and I found some CBT books that I would like to get. (Yes, I'm fighting a losing battle with the number of books that I have!)

I'm not sure what to do now. Maybe go through some magazines. And get to bed early.

Added: I found a Web site with healthy recipes: https://www.eatingbirdfood.com/

Got up early and got my hair cut. And then I dropped off the dead printer and monitor for recycling after getting a little confused as to where to go. And the recycling didn't cost me anything! And the printer and monitor are out of my kitchen!

Had a nice nap. Started laundry. Went to the storage place and went through four boxes of books and brought two back to get rid of, plus a bookcase to replace the one that crumbled and the basket for my yoga stuff. I'm beat, so I need to sit a while. Maybe I should post some books to sell.

Hmm. I'm poking at airfares to Seattle and Washington DC, and Seattle is cheaper (which makes no sense because it's a longer trip). I've heard some horror stories about Airbnbs, so I need to look at hotels. It's kind of looking like the Extended Stay America for Seattle. Then I could eat breakfast there and maybe some dinners. Hmm, another advantage of Seattle is the time change. I'll have classes on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, and they would be over earlier and I'd still have some time to do things.

Filled a bag of garbage from the kitchen. Brought in the basket and a box of books. Just remembered that I need to put clothes in the dryer, but I need to sit for a moment. Went through the box, but there were only a couple of books worth selling. I need to find out if the public library is taking donations for their sale. Put the clothes in the dryer. Emailed the library director at the public library, who is a former colleague of mine, to ask if they are accepting donations. Went to sell some books, only to find that Amazon wants me to verify my charge method, and it'll take a couple of days. Sigh. Maybe I should just sell on eBay.

Not sure what to do now. I'm feeling tired but not sleepy. Make German flashcards, maybe (done)? I'm going to eat some soup and go to bed.
