9/11

I booked my next piano lesson, the songwriting and music theory classes, and the hotel for my trip to Michigan the weekend after the next one.

I forgot to mention that I found two trunks (one, two) that I’d like to use as end tables. But I’d have to drive to the Chicago area and Crown Point, Indiana. But they’re cheaper than buying similar ones on Wayfair. Hmm. It would be faster to go to both places in the same trip. I'm thinking of going on Sunday. No, I don't have enough money for them right now plus take my trip up to Michigan.

When I start dating, I might try Chemistry.com. I read an article about dating sites and it sounded interesting.

Overslept but logged on in time for work.

Reading LJ reminded me that it was 9/11, so I went back to read my LJ entries for that day. I'm surprised at how coherent my discussion of it was. And my mom got into an argument with [profile] rillifane. I can't believe that I've never been to New York since then. I hope this year. Mom had been back. In fact, she went to New York two weeks after 9/11, and she went to Ground Zero. I don't know if she ever saw the memorial site through.

Found a notebook to use for my songwriting and music theory classes. I need to take a shower because I overslept my nap at lunchtime.

I’m trying to “tell” my mom that I joined a choir. She would be interested. My dad, not so much. He never liked my singing. (I think that he thought that it was a waste of time. Something that makes me happy is never a waste of time.)

Well, great. The songwriting instructor hasn't showed up. I guess that I'll practice piano and singing until my music theory class. No, I ate dinner.

The music theory class did happen. I had a hard time hearing the teacher, so I ran and got my headphones. I'll need to order an extra set (done).

The songwriting teacher said that he had checked last night and no one was enrolled, so he assumed that the class was canceled. I enrolled after he checked. He said that he would be willing to gave the class just for me though. Cool!

I was practicing piano when my back started hurting, so I went to sit down and study Italian. I also need to get the garbage out (done). Finished practicing piano and practiced singing and one of my choir pieces. Scanned that choir piece for my singing teacher and sent it to her. Studied the Italian imperfect tense.

Now I need to do some work for work, do dishes, scoop cat boxes, and go to bed.

Cool, I got my new Perl book. I hope that I'll have time to work with it one of these days.

Mimi is asleep on a reusable bag, and I hate to wake her up. Speaking of bags, I need to find a place to recycle bags because I have a big bag of plastic bags, and I don't think that Walmart has their bag recycling container up. Maybe there's a place in Champaign.

I'm up early. It's hard to believe that it's been 20 years since 9/11. I watched a feed of some of the reading of names in New York. I was wishing that the country could come together like it did after 9/11, but remembering that time, people were fighting about what it meant and what should be done. We need more solidarity, but it's not going to happen.

I remember that day quite vividly. I was in California and still asleep when most of the events happened. My mom called and left a message, saying that she was okay, but you'll find a lot has happened when you get up. I called her back and found out what happened. Then I emailed my boss at the time, saying that I was glued to the news, but I'll come in for the all-hands meeting. Well, the meeting and work that day got canceled. The CEO of the startup that I worked for said that if anyone needed to take the Golden Gate Bridge home, they would pay for a hotel for them. There was worry that the bridge would be a target.

Had a nice nap. Ate lunch. And hmm, I'm feeling sleepy again. I did suck it up and tackled my homework. Ran into a snag and emailed my instructor. Ran to the store to pick up oatmeal and milk.

Talked to Mom. She's feeling cranky and frustrated and old. She thinks that, if she has to have surgery, it would be better if I came after she got out of the hospital. But it this point, we don't even know if she'll have to have surgery.

Oh. No Italian tomorrow. I can sleep in. But I think that I'm going to sleep soon. I just want to read my next programming assignment so that my subconscious can work on it while I sleep.
