I overslept. So much for getting my recycling out. So much for my shower too. Put my clothes in the dryer. Fed us all.

I’m working on plans for my funeral for my will. I'm looking for a poem that I wrote many years ago, but no luck so far. Found it on the Wayback Machine for an old Web site! Yay! I think that I'll just say in the will to follow the funeral plans in the "End of Life Ceremonies" folder in the NokBox. Then I can keep modifying it without updating the will. (Actually, planning it is kind of fun. Is that weird?)

The Champaign County Master Gardeners are sponsoring a garden walk. It's the day after I get back from my business trip, but it's from 9 to 4, so I wouldn't have to get up really early? (Though I'll have to pick up Bella and Oliver first.) It sounds nice. I could use some ideas for my garden. It's only $10, so if I decide that day that I just can't, I wouldn't lose a lot of money.

Lily thinks that my leg is a scratching post. Ow.

Scrambled to get myself together for my therapy session because I forgot about it. She thinks that I need to get back to singing as a way to deal with frustration. (I booked some lessons. I also signed up for a Scales and Intervals singing class for the fall.) She thinks that I've had too many things go wrong for too long. I also was worrying about my job because it's detail-oriented and I'm really not, and she suggested looking at other jobs within the university. I don't have to take another job if I don't think that it's a good fit.

I forgot to mention that I got all my bills on automatic payment (except for the sewer, which is manual only) a few days ago. One less thing to worry about.

My new glasses are in, so I need to pick them up on the weekend.

I think that I want a nap after dinner.

Bella is picking up dog debris from the floor and flinging it into the air. I only live here.

Ordered dog food and dog treats from Costco. I noticed that they had a tennis ball launcher for dogs, but my inner voice asked me if I was too lazy to throw a ball for my dog. So no, I didn’t get it.

Took a nap and slept until 5 AM. I think that the pup thought that I was dead because she’s making a fuss over me :)

The appointment that I had was at 10. But luckily, I woke up right before then. The Betty Brigade people went through the house and made notes. They will send an estimate later this week. They said that they were scheduling four to six weeks out, but that's okay. That'll give me time to go through the books and DVDs.

Zara has been climbing on my lap a lot since I got back. She wants food--I've told her that she's a stomach with legs--but I think that I was missed.

I need to call the mower guy.

Oh hell. I forgot to tell a group of which my mom was a member the date for the memorial service. I just texted them. Some people whom I thought would be there can't go. All I'm hearing is people saying "No" right now. And the restaurant wants a count of people and the menu. I gave them a menu, but then remembered that a lot of my mom's friends are vegetarians. I asked if they could throw in a couple of Margherita pizzas. They said okay.

All my directories on my work computer have been made read-only. I opened a ticket with IT. I want a do-over this week and it's only just started.

Oh crap. The Betty Brigade folks want $18,000 to clear out my mom's house. That's even worse than I had feared. I need to seriously think that through. Crap, that really would wipe me out. I think that I should look into 1-800-GOT-JUNK first. I can book online, but I think that I better call them and explain the situation. Note to self: 1-800-468-5865. I guess that I need to go through the rooms and pull out the junk. I started going through the living room. I found a bunch of magazines that Mom put into binders. Those can go. I'm sorting through Mom's books now, and I want some of her photography books. I ordered some boxes to put the books that I want to keep in. I don't know what to do with the photo albums that my mom inherited from my aunt. And there are Christmas tree ornaments that I need to figure out what to do with. Some of them are as old as I am or older. I bought a storage box to put ornaments in.

I submitted a Kroger order. Gathered up garbage and recycling. Printed off the profiles of two psychiatrists that I want to contact. (I'll have some time for phone calls tomorrow.)

I ordered a small basket of flowers to bring to the funeral on Friday.

I think that I'm going to crash. I hope that more people RSVP tomorrow for the lunch on Friday.
