Ooh, I found something nifty. Sunsama displays a Kanban-style to do list next to my Google calendar. I wish that it could integrate with my work computer too.

Music of the Baroque is playing tonight, but I need the study time, so I'll get an "on-demand" ticket (done).

Italian was fun. I think that it's more fun because it is a group of people, but it's still a small class, so everyone gets a chance to talk. I'm thinking of asking my instructor if he could take me on as a private student to work on my pronunciation.

Ran my errands. I'm back with two-and-a-half boxes of books to go through, one of which is intriguingly labeled "music books". There's another box of "music books" that I'll grab next week. I also want to bring home some bookcases to put the books that I'm keeping on. I think I that I could put some in the hall. But I need to start at the end of the hall because I need to leave room to get the office futon out eventually.

Mom called. My aunt's surgery is off. The doctors are going to run a cardiac catheter in, have a look around, and possibly put in a stent.

Had a nice nap but overslept.

Talked to my aunt. She seems in good spirits, considering that she's in the hospital. She's not worried about the procedure tomorrow.

Need to do some homework. Done. And I'll even get a decent night's sleep.

Got up at a decent hour this morning to have a blood test done (15 minute drive). Then I brought a couple of old computers to the Computer Recycling Center (1 hour drive round-trip). Then I returned some stuff to the pet store (1/2 hour drive round trip). Then I talked to my mom. Then I went back out to pick up a paper shredder that someone on Freecycle gave me (40 minutes round trip). I ate a couple of times in the middle of all that. Now I'm pooped (must be all the driving).

Someone in the Tightwad Gazette suggested using shredded newspaper as kitty litter, so I'm going to try it and see what happens.

The question is whether I'm going to some garage sales tomorrow or not. I'll decide tomorrow. In general, I need to get rid of stuff more than buy stuff, but I could use some clothes and microwave-safe cookware.
