one attempts creative work as one can

Things done today:

1. I had a tour scheduled for an apartment whose tenant is moving into assisted living, but the prospective new tenant no-showed, which is always annoying. I mean, I got some fresh air since I waited by the building's front door until 15 minutes after the scheduled time? But still. :(

2. More apartment photo editing, more apartment tour video review. Blargh.

3. Drew a floor plan for an apartment that had none, based on a bunch of measurements I took while doing apartment staging this summer, and a shitty ballpoint pen sketch I made on lined notepaper. This new version is more-or-less to scale (1 cm = 1 foot, ish), and now exists as a digital image file I am cleaning up and making all fancy.

The best part is that once I get the basics done, this will neatly double as the floor plan for the apartment right next door, because they are literally mirror images of each other. :D

4. Slogged through some more tax prep CE. I enjoy actually doing taxes, but some of the CE courses are written in a way that seems expressly designed to turn my brain off under a steady stream of jargon. *sigh*

5. Put away some of the laundry I washed and dried last night. \o/

6. Signed up to usher at this Sunday's service, which I think will be the first church-related thing I have done since... uh, since the June board meeting. Literally. The break has been good for my mental health, but socialization is also important, and I do like participating in small projects, so. This feels like a pretty low-pressure way to dip a toe back into the water. :)

(Also I can finally return my building key, which, as I am no longer an officer of the society, I really shouldn't have in my possession anymore. But see above in re: avoiding all church-related things over the summer for my mental health. *wry*)

Now I think I will go work on my current paint-by-number project (I started working on that again since I've cleaned off my tables and counters!), and then slog through some more tax CE.

-----

ETA: I got some painting done and then finished a two-credit course on tax treatment and tax implications of cryptocurrency (with some discussion of NFTs).

I swear, the more I learn about crypto, the stupider the whole idea sounds -- and let's not even get into the nonsensical scam of NFTs. Additionally, probably because the people who create cryptocurrency blockchains are at least partially motivated by a desire to evade/avoid government regulations, the crypto market is currently structured in such a way as to make reporting transactions wildly, unnecessarily complicated when compared to stocks or fiat currency (aka, you know, ordinary money).

Also also, crypto mining is an environmental disaster.
