miscellaneous update

Things done recently:
1. Got my bivalent Covid booster shot AND my annual flu shot Monday after work. I am gonna be SO IMMUNIZED. \o/
2. I'm continuing to work through various tax training courses. At this point I am well over the minimum credit requirement, but learning is good. Also apparently the learn-up option for advancing to Level 3 within Not the IRS is less of a problem than I thought? Which is good, because scheduling the test-up option is always a freaking nightmare to coordinate around my main job, and I would like to get the Level 3 "commission" rates. (They're technically not commissions because of assorted complicated reasons, but effectively they're commissions.)
3. Removed my air conditioner from the window for the winter. I am pondering a rearrangement of various closet junk that might let me store it in my bedroom closet instead of having it just sit on the floor of my study. And I need to sort and rearrange my closet junk anyway, so.
4. Made roasted zucchini sticks.
5. Began looking through the Yuletide tagset to see if I want to request anything besides the three fandoms I nominated.
6. Signed up to do coffee hour cleanup this past Sunday and the next two Sundays, because it's good to get out of my house and interact with people, it's good to participate in social groups, and it's nice to have clear, defined tasks with clear, defined end-points. :) Also washing dishes is meditative for me, as I think I've said many times before.
7. Finally finished watching episode 5 of the Sandman on Netflix. I'd been putting that off because I knew it was going to be difficult, but today it occurred to me that I could use my cross-stitch project to sort of... blunt the edge, maybe? Eat just enough of my concentration that I wouldn't get too wound up with sympathetic dread and/or mortification. And that plan worked, which was very validating! I am now halfway through episode 6.
And that's enough for now. Good night!
