Things done today:

1. Work meeting to review changes to our paid time off policy given recent changes in NY state law regarding how paid sick leave is accrued.

2. So much advertising stuff, blargh.

3. Board of Trustees meeting, which I think was quite productive. :)

4. Made green bean casserole, because I realized I can do that whenever I want; there's no need to wait for holidays. I don't think I cooked it quite long enough -- the recipe I followed said 30 minutes, but I believe my mom told me 40 minutes when I asked her prior to Thanksgiving, and I think she's right.

5. Bought winter holiday presents for Mom, Dad, Nick, Cat, and Susan. Also bought birthday presents for Mom and Cat. (This is necessary for early January birthdays, because if you don't bundle the purchases in with your winter holiday purchases, you WILL forget to buy/make anything by the deadline. Trust me on this.) Amazon offered me a free trial of Prime, so I have free shipping for a bit, which is nice. I just need to remember to cancel it around New Year's.

6. Started a batch of experimental crockpot chicken with assorted spices, chard, and a few onions. This is mostly to create protein for portable lunches, and also to use up the chard I grew this summer and fall. It should be done by the time I get up Thursday morning.

7. I also made the unpleasant discovery that the freaking aphids have been munching on my chard as well as my peppers and my eggplant. Ugh. So I sprayed all the plants with more soapy water and moved the chard planter further away from my counter, since I believe a handful of adventurous aphids have been crawling up and exploring.

And now, bed.
