I had problems falling asleep last night. Couldn't shut my mind off. So much for getting up early.

I was thinking how I buy possibilities. I'll have the treadmill (once I put it together) and the exercise bike and the dance videos, so I can choose what I feel like on a given day. It would kind of be a drag to have only one thing to do.

I was also thinking that my mom said that my uncle's life ended (in terms of being engaged) when he stopped working. I said that that worried me because work takes up a lot of my life. My mom said that I'd be okay because I'm interested in lots of things. Possibilities, again.

I've given up on travel plans for the year. Even in November, who knows if we'll be in a second wave of the virus. Now I'm looking at Spring Break next year.

I decided to not put on makeup because the likelihood of a video chat is low. (There wasn't one.)

Hmm. Lincoln Land Community College is offering an online American Sign Language class. It's not cheap, but it would give me the chance to see if I want to pursue it further.

Today is the first day in which I'm working using the new desk chair, and it is a lot more comfortable.

I was looking at seed potatoes to grow in a bag. I'd like to grow Yukon Golds, but their growing season has long since started. The problem with growing potatoes that you have to get a lot of seed potatoes in one order. I need to plan my garden better this coming winter.

Hussled my garbage out. Isn't my life exciting?

I'm busy "snoozing" people that are posting really dumb stuff on Facebook. I don't know why I don't drop them. I guess because they might notice. Facebook is kind of wallowing in the muck and finding a few gems.

I just made Chunky Soup for dinner because I didn't feel like cooking. Plus, I want to finally put the treadmill together and use it. I had Chicken Corn Chowder soup, and Zara was a little out of control. She even dragged her tail through my bowl, but luckily I was about done. (Now she's grooming her tail.)

BBC News: "Trump believes that there will be a vaccine by the end of the year." Oh Lord. I wish, but in your dreams. There's also an article about what travel might be like before there's a vaccine. Must read.

I've been coveting a DSLR camera for years. I've always wanted to get into photography. Well someone was selling a Nikon D3100 without a battery or charger on Mercari for very cheap. I can order the battery and charger. So I bought it.

Well, I started to assemble the treadmill. And in my unerring lack of talent for assembly, I started to put on the bottom of the treadmill backward. I undid it, and I'm done for tonight. They need arrows with "This End Up" for people like me. Do not assume anything.

Treadmill

Slept for 11 hours. Yikes.

The treadmill has been delivered. The box is soaking wet because it's raining. My hair got wet wrangling the thing inside. Bah. The cats are checking out the box. It looks like it's too big to fit under the TV room futon, so I'll have to figure something else out. I have a good spot for the treadmill in the bedroom, so I'll clean the floor there and assemble the treadmill.

I was going to go run errands today, but it's supposed to rain all day. Maybe I could split them up and go during dinners during the week. Well, I should have time to put the treadmill together at least and have a nice walk. Hmm, flood watch. That doesn't sound good.

Walmart refunded the money for the first set of masks, assuming that they're lost. Yeah, no kidding. Glad that I ordered the second set.

It didn't take long for the treadmill to become a cat perch. (I haven't put it together yet.)

I wonder why my back hurts when I bend over. I found a spot in the kitchen for the treadmill (folded over), and I'm moving some stuff and cleaning. But my back started to hurt, so I'm taking a break. Got it swept, but I'm under cat arrest before scrubbing the floor with the floor cleaner.

The floor is scrubbed. Love the floor scrubber. Now I want to start on the bathroom, but I'm catted again. Cleaned most of the bathroom.

Talked to Mom. She had a rough week. A friend of hers died (of cancer, not of COVID-19, but he died alone in a nursing home because of COVID). Her power went out and her Wi-Fi wasn't working. Her printer wasn't working. Tiles are falling off of her roof, and she needs to call someone to fix it. She's been having problems sleeping because of pain in her hip, but she's been taking Benadryl, and it's been helping.

Through the magic of my microwave, I'm making frozen Shrimp Scampi, creamed spinach, and mashed potatoes. Yum. It was good.

I want to clean the bathroom floor and put together the treadmill, so I need to get cracking after I put the food away. Now I'm thinking that I should get up early and put together the treadmill. Food coma. I'll wait to wash the floor until after my shower tomorrow because I don't want to step on a wet floor when I go to bed, but I could sweep it.
