Got the letter ready to send about my student loans. I need to get up early and mail it.

Woke up at 6:15 AM. Because I need to mail the letter, I decided to get up. I think that I want to go back to sleep though. I’ll mail the letter tonight.

One of my coral bells is missing? WTF?

Do I want to take a flower-arranging class? In a couple of weeks, there's one at the place where I picked up the plants yesterday.

It's raining again.

I really want to take a nap.

Found the coral bell. Someone (Bella?) dug it up. I put it in a planter until I can replant it. I want to get more irises for the garden. They should be planted in fall, not spring though. I read an article that says that spring is okay.

I found a podcast from The Atlantic: How to Age Up. It would be good to listen to while I'm cleaning. I also found a senior living place in the area that sounds interesting: ClarkLindsey. I'm also looking at Evanston, my home town. There's a place called The Clare in downtown Chicago that sounds wonderful, but I get the feeling that it costs megabucks.

I bought some investment books. I'm buying used books at ThriftBooks. They have most books at a discount. Bought some irises.

Fed us all. Ran out to mail the letter.

I bought the Roam Luggage at which I had been looking. I wound up with Aspen (light gray with white trim) instead of London (black with tan trim) because I wanted something that would be easy to spot in a baggage claim.

Booked my hotel before the cruise and the flights. I splurged a little and got Economy Plus seats. And I booked the Hilton that's across the street from O'Hare Airport for ease of traveling. (I'll need to come up on Christmas Eve and stay over through my flight on Christmas.) The room has a view of the runway! And I booked a nice hotel in San Diego. I won't book the Sardinia trip until I check the dates with my boss, who is at the conference right now.

Heck. I'm hungry. I'll post and have some oatmeal. Then I'll fill some litter boxes and go to bed.
