Things done:

Sunday:
---I skipped the church YouTube livestream in favor of sleeping in. Then I did, frankly, very little, aside from changing my linens.

Monday:
---Rental office 9am-5pm, where I did more data entry from the old apartment tour records, walked around to label packages, answered some phone calls, sent some "hey, NYSEG told us you're behind on your electric bill and they'll turn off your power on X date if you don't pay up" emails, and processed some rent payments. I also participated in an emergency email Board of Trustees vote to submit a PPP application, since that had a 4pm Tuesday afternoon deadline.

Then I came home and got into an obsessive reading spiral for a fandom I am not even remotely in, and of which I don't even have more than a thimbleful of fannish osmotic knowledge. I was rereading an old story in a different fandom, noticed the author had written a couple things for this unknown fandom, and got sucked into the AO3 equivalent of wiki-walking until about 3am. It was weird.

Tuesday:
---I slept in until 11:30am on account of having been up until a bit past 3am. Then I gathered my laundry together but decided not to actually, you know, wash it. What I did manage was to confirm my new toothpaste prescription, and walk into town to deposit a check at my bank's drive-through window. I ordered some postage stamps online. I watered my houseplants. And I cut off the obsessive reading spiral, which I think showed impressive mental fortitude on my part. *wry*

The monthly Board of Trustees meeting ran 6-8:20pm on Zoom. We recreated our email vote to submit a PPP application. We discussed some community support and fundraising issues. We discussed what's going on with our search for a new Director of Religious Education (DRE) given the Covid 19 travel restrictions and social distancing, as well as financial uncertainties. And we reluctantly decided to cancel our annual August recycle sale, mostly for health and safety reasons. It was a very productive meeting, though kind of emotionally draining.

Wednesday:
---Today I did many things!

1. Laundry. Ugh.

2. Paid a couple bills online.

3. Texted ResistBot to email my senators and representative in support of the US Postal Service.

4. Arranged phone calls with Nick, Cat, and Susan.

5. Bought groceries and picked up my new prescription toothpaste. :)

6. Repaired a broken plate with Krazy Glue.

7. Baked banana bread.

8. Baked brownies.

9. Called my parents to catch up. (Also, apropos my parents, I should mention that Mom mailed me three homemade cloth facemasks, which was very kind of her. I need to find some wire -- maybe a braided handful of twisties? maybe pipecleaners? -- to sort of shape the bit that fits over the bridge of my nose, since at the moment my breath escapes that way and fogs up my glasses something terrible, but aside from that they're quite comfortable to wear.)

So that's what I've been doing. How are all of you?

I'm intrigued by the fandoms you were reading if you don't mind sharing. I have definitely experienced the joy of AO3 wiki-walking.
