Oh, I forgot to mention that I got the title to Mom's car, and it made me sad because I can now sell it. My colleague/friend at work suggested that I keep it and get rid of my car. I'm considering it. I wish that it had map lights like my car. Now I'm thinking of keeping both cars for now because one will be better for hauling the cats, and the other will be better for hauling the planters and other breakable items. I can get it straightened out in Illinois. Maybe I'll buy a new car when the estate is settled.

My jeans keep trying to fall off of me. They actually did fall off the other day. I'll be happy when I go down a size.

I'm feeling depressed about my dad's memory issues and knowing that I'll probably have 10 years to do what I want in retirement before I'll have issues too. Aging is a bitch.

I'm wearing one of the new tie-dye hoodies and love it. It's very pretty in tones of purple and blue. I'll take a picture of it later.

I forgot to choose my BistroMD meals. I now have a reminder set on my phone. And now on my electronic calendar!

Okay. The dumpster people said that they'd pick it up tomorrow.

The sprinkler guys were here, and the fix was easy; the water was not turned on! Now to get the lawn reseeded....

I got my work calendar to sync to my electronic calendar. Excellent. Life at a glance! The calendar can also function as a digital photo frame when you're not using the calendar, so I decided to get the add-on. It would be cool to see some of my trip pictures while I'm working.

Ugh. I just realized that I never submitted Mimi's dental bills to the pet insurance. Too much was going on around then.

Verizon has already sent me a bill. Um, can you wait until I get the new phone activated?

The trust said that they are still in the period where creditors can claim debts on the estate. It'll end mid-October. They said that the house is not a part of the trust, however, and they need the binder with her will. I just found it and said that I would drop it off (done).

I had a free consult with a marketing student from the uni about promoting my travel blog-to-be on social media. She had some good ideas. I joined some Facebook groups for solo female travelers.

Yay. I finally got an estate sale person coming out tomorrow with a lot of misses because the house was out of people's areas. I think that some companies concentrate on the ritzy suburbs north of here.

I figured out that I want to stay at the Hilton Garden Inn when I come back to get the interior of the house painted. It has a refrigerator and a microwave. And I'm sure that their WiFi would be good.

I made an appointment to get COVID, flu, RSV, and shingles vaccines on Saturday. Wow, am I going to be sore.

Through a couple of hours of effort (and help from Sinéad O'Connor), I got my bedroom picked up and more organized. The suitcases are closed (and two are stowed in the closet), and you can walk through the room! Mimi does not approve because it's different.

My voice and guitar teacher had to cancel due to her singing somewhere, so I rescheduled during the week. While I was rescheduling, I noticed that I had lessons scheduled while I will be out of town, so I rescheduled those too. And I scheduled someone to look at the washer because it isn't spinning. I had put clothes on a drying rack until they were just damp, and they're in the dryer right now.

The lack of lessons does make things easier though for what I need to get done. Showered and shaved my legs because I got my new electric shaver blades. (Note to self: replace every three months.) I booked the pet sitter for my trip.

I snagged the domains thelonenomad.blog (the travel blog) and everonwards.blog (for the self-improvement blog). I need to set the blogs up, but I'll wait to do that. The kitchen awaits.

Moved boxes into the garage. Took out gobs of recycling. My back is killing me. Whoa, dizzy.

I can't find the Buddha Groove clothes, and I was going to wear them on my trip. I thought I remembered getting them, but they've vanished. I need to look around more in the daylight. WTF could I have done with them? It was a big order. I've also came to the conclusion that the tunics that are going to Urbana are not going to get straightened out in time for my trip, so I ordered a couple more of them. Maybe I didn't get the Buddha Groove clothes. The delivery picture does not show it. I'll look around tomorrow and file a claim if not and reorder the clothes. Sigh.

Printed my labels for the travel shampoo, etc. Filled the bottles. I need to wait to fill the small jars until I get another order of face care stuff. Bought a small travel mirror for the train.

Ate Tikka Masala Chicken Meatballs and BistroMD's version of cheesecake for dessert. I could eat that way for a while, which is good because I will be eating that way for a while.

I spent some time with BlueHost's support getting the WordPress sites up for my blogs. I started doing set up on one of them, but I need to get to bed soon.

Help?

I need to upload an image file and specify its URL in a WordPress widget. Any ideas on how I could do that? Photosharing doesn't work.
