a slow yet productive day :)

edenfallingThings I have done today:
1. Got up early, drove to the Not the IRS valley office, and successfully renewed my NY State tax preparer registration. \o/
2. Answered so many emails at the rental company office, under both my Collegetown and my downtown hats. Which is understandable, after we were closed for four days, but still.
3. Fielded various people's various sublet woes. People are just not very good at setting up sublets, which is frustrating because we have a pretty simple process and there are clear step-by-step instructions on our website and in an email template we send out to any tenants who let us know they're working on a sublease. *sigh*
4. The FedEx driver figured out that we were open. The UPS driver figured out that we were open. And yet somehow BOTH mail carriers decided (despite the OPEN sign on the door, our lights being on, and our holiday hours posted clearly on the door!) that we were closed and just shoved letters in through the drop slot in the aforementioned front door. WHY.
Anyway, that's why I was stuck at work 15 minutes late processing rent payments, which I otherwise could have handled during actual business hours. Gnrgh.
5. Took some more pepper plants outside and disposed of them. (I harvested the peppers last night.) I am now down to one jalapeno plant and one bell pepper plant; in both cases, I'm waiting for some existing fruit to ripen, after which I will chuck those as well. It's the only way to finally murder the aphids.
Death to the aphids!
6. Roasted zucchini and cooked rice, because I am a productive human being and I can feed myself! ...Even though what I really wanted was a BLT and was tragically thwarted in that desire because the sandwich shop was closed. :( Ah well. It's not as if leftover turkey and roast zucchini is in any way a bad dinner.
(The turkey is from Christmas, since Mom gets a free turkey every year through some program whose name I forget, and obviously we did not eat it at Thanksgiving. So Mom, Dad, Nick and I did Thanksgiving for Christmas instead. *wry* Christmas Eve was salmon, and Boxing Day was takeout from Il Goccino, an excellent Italian restaurant in downtown Madison.)
And now I think I will have some buttered bread as a follow-up, because I do love me some bread and butter. :D
