edenfallingThings and stuff:
1. Saturday was a slow work day -- I did some photo edits and some emails, and also got asked to help jump-start a parking tenant's dead car, which was a first for me. It also reminded me that I don't yet have any jumper cables, so that has gone onto my Xmas/birthday wish list.
2. Hospitality team work at church this morning, which mostly involved A) getting items from a drawer, B) sitting at a table and helping a few people with nametags, and B) putting items back into drawers.
3. Took an afternoon nap, which was lovely. :)
4. 5:30pm wine and conversation Zoom gathering with my parents and their friend Mary. Nick was unable to attend due to recent illness, alas.
5. Speaking of Nick's illness! We don't know what it is, though my money is on some kind of ear infection -- he has fluid in his inner ear, as well as weird migraines and an inability to deal with screens or bright lights. Also maybe some fever? Anyway, he has been to urgent care twice so far. Steroids have not helped much, nor has Dramamine, and now he is on antibiotics which will hopefully produce some results. He was unable to schedule an appointment with any specialists until January (they are all booked solid), and he's having a bit of an anxiety/depression spiral. :(
Dad flew out to Minnesota this morning and will be staying in Nick's guest room indefinitely. Our current hope is that Nick gets better enough fast enough that either Dad can fly home and Nick drives to and from NJ for Xmas as planned, or else Dad carpools to NJ with Nick, carpools back to MN, and then catches a rescheduled flight home. We shall see.
6. I am currently working through my NY state required tax preparer courses, all four hours of nonsense. I want to get this done tonight so I can renew my NYTPRIN on Tuesday -- it usually takes 24 hours for completion of the courses to transfer to the NYTPRIN registration system, because computers and bureaucracy are an occasionally absurd mix.
7. On a related note, I have now taken my annual sexual harassment training for the rental company (NYS requirement), and my broader anti-discrimination and anti-harassment training for Not the IRS (combination of federal requirements and state requirement). So that's a thing that has happened.
8. In re: Yuletide, I will simply say BEARS and leave it at that. *wry*
And now back to training. *sigh*
