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.
