Emailed in sick. It took a while to get the dogs back inside. First Bella came in, and Gracie refused to come in. Then Bella went back out and Gracie came in. I finally got them both in. Fed us all.

Slept until 2 PM. I was dreaming that I was writing a book set in New Zealand and was doing research to get the character right. I have never been to New Zealand but would like to go. (I tend to have vivid dreams when I'm sick.)

My nose is running, and Oliver is sitting on my tissues. Sigh.

I received a message that the home sleep study was “non-diagnostic” and they want to do an in-house sleep study. Also sigh. They called me already but they’re out until April.

Home Depot does closet consultations. I’d like one after I get the library room together and cull my clothes.

Had a bite to eat. Took some DayQuil and Emergen-C. Gracie ran out of the bedroom, which was good because she’s less restful to sleep with than Bella, but I wouldn’t want to kick her out.

Slept until 6:30 PM. I dreamed that I was on a smaller cruise ship and fell for someone who worked there. They weren’t allowed to get involved with guests, so we were trying to work it out. Let the dogs out. I’m trying to decide whether to go to work in the morning. I guess that I’ll decide tomorrow morning.

I’m telling the dogs that they’re my two clowns.

Fed us all. I’m going to go back to bed soon. I seriously need sleep.

I’m looking forward to the Olympic ice skating.

Woke up at 3:30 AM and couldn’t fall back asleep, so it’s not going to be a representative night for the sleep study. Nothing I can do though.

My throat hurts.

Ugh. Oliver ran into Zara’s room and Lily is in the basement. Okay, they came out. Fed us all.

Went back to sleep, this time with the dogs, and slept until 10 AM. Hmm. I’m not feeling like going shopping today. Maybe tomorrow? Or could I have stuff delivered? Placed a delivery order for tomorrow with the lentil soup stuff.

It was snowing when I let the dogs in.

Booked my flights for the "Orient Express" trip. I’m flying through London on the way back. Too bad I can’t stop there, but the trip is long as it is. Emailed the travel agent to see if I can pay for the trip now. I'd like to have it all paid for.

Crap. My car was issued a ticket for having an invalid registration, so I need to go to the DMV. I think that they open at 8 on Monday.

I’m trying to figure out what to do for a half-hour. Then I need to get into the shower. No, I just canceled my singing lesson due to my cough. So I’ll go lie down.

Bella has her chicken toy. I told her that’s okay; that’s a dog toy, but I think that she’s not sure what is and isn’t a toy. It all looks like toys to her!

Snow tonight. Lovely.

Ate an orange. Maybe it’ll help my cough.

I bought a hook from Home Depot for my purse. And a fruit basket from Amazon.

I was looking at cruises to Bermuda, which I want to be my next cruise, but only the luxury lines have their 2027 cruises up.

My dad says that I should skip lunch to lose weight. Hmm. That’s kind of a form of intermittent fasting, but most people skip breakfast, not lunch. But I can’t skip breakfast because I take meds that have to be taken with food. So lunch it is.

Went through the sleet to return my sleep study equipment. Made it, but one of my windshield wipers popped off when I was coming back. Sigh. I might need to have the Kia jump-started tomorrow.

I made a payment for the Orient Express trip using Zelle, but I can make only $3500 at a time.

I added the ingredients for Overnight Oats to my grocery order. (My dad is encouraging me to get the kitchen together and cook.) I'm going to go to sleep soon and get up early to hit the kitchen hard.

I contacted property management companies in Urbana last night for tours on Monday. One place got back to me so far, and I have appointments to see a house and an apartment on Monday. And I'm setting up a time to see an apartment in Champaign on Wednesday. I need to set up my aunt's TV and stereo this weekend so that I can drop the old ones off at Best Buy to be recycled on Monday.

Mom said yesterday that I could look for places to live during Thanksgiving week, and I said that I'd need a place before then. Thanksgiving Week is for packing.

I now have an appointment to pick up the sleep study equipment on November 2nd. My life is all about the appointments.

I met with one of my professors about some problems that I got wrong on the exam, and she said not to worry about getting problems wrong as long as I figure out why they were wrong. She said that she thought that I could do well in the class, which is good to hear.

One other place in Urbana wanted me to view a place tomorrow morning, and I said, "No". I have a boatload of stuff to get done around here, and I'm not driving 2.5 hours total just to see one place. We settled on Monday morning. I don't like those people already, though, so that's not a good sign.

I sent out requests to view houses in Champaign on Wednesday. A couple responded that the houses have been rented.

Talked to my aunt's nephew, talked to Mom, and called my aunt's nephew again to ask him something I forgot about. Not sure why I'm the go-between, but Mom said that she didn't have the time to talk to Tim but she'll talk to me. Okay, whatever.

I seriously need sweet stuff to eat plus some more frozen stuff, so I'm going to go to the grocery store now. Abort. It's raining, and I don't feel like going out in the rain. I had a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich and called it "dessert".

I reserved the U-Haul van for moving Mom's stuff from my aunt's house. I have to admit that it's easy with the app.

Paid a bill.

There's a big honking wolf spider living in one of the plants that I brought inside. I don't really want him to live inside with me, so I'm going to take the plant outside and try to shake him out. After the rain stops.

I watched a couple of plane crash videos because that's my jam. I'm really, really tired, so I'm going to crash. Oops, maybe I shouldn't say "crash" :)
