edenfallingThings done today:
1. Two apartment tours. One was technically scheduled -- by which I mean that Mr. Geniality set it up and emailed the tenants of the one occupied apartment the prospects wanted to see, but he then neglected to add it to my calendar, so I flailed really embarrassingly when the two people showed up. *headdesk* The other tour was a walk-in, and they showed up LITERALLY five minutes after the other tour group left, what even.
2. In the middle of all that, I had to sort out a tenant who was moving out of his apartment and dropped his keys god-knows-where in the process. So he now has a set of spares to return tomorrow, and knows that if he can't find the lost set, we're going to charge him for the lock change.
3. Spent another hour sorting out various key storage/filing nonsense. I have now cleared my desk of all the stray keys that were waiting for me to process! ...And I picked up some new keys from Mr. Geniality's desk, since he'd shoved them off in a corner and I suspect neither of us knows WTF is up with any of them. *sigh*
4. Rearranged some furniture in preparation for staging a vacant apartment. I didn't actually stage it because one of the kitchen cabinets has a completely bollixed hinge and that's not a good look in advertising photos and videos, but the staging itself should go pretty quick next week.
5. Went to Michael's and bought A) a frame for my latest complete cross-stitch project, B) two new Aida cloths, and C) something like 30 skeins of embroidery floss for two new cross-stitch projects. I have used up one of my birthday gift cards and about half of the second, so go me for being efficient!
6. Sent two messages to my doctor asking her to give me a written referral for a mammogram (because apparently the mammography lab wants one instead of me just scheduling an appointment on my own? even though they sent me a reminder letter?) and also asking for clarification about some stuff in re: my upcoming colonoscopy.
Unfortunately I can't communicate by email with the gastroenterology office OR with my dentist, so I will have to wait for Monday to ask my other clarifying colonoscopy procedure question, and for Tuesday to request a refill of my prescription fluoride toothpaste. (I have the world's shittiest enamel -- thanks, Mom! -- and I live in a town without fluoridated water. My poor teeth need all the help they can get.) Ah well, that's how it is sometimes.
7. Finished reading Holes, by Louis Sachar, which is something I'd been vaguely meaning to do for decades but finally got around to thanks to Amazon's current Kindle reading challenge thingy, which had one bookmark/task for reading books that have been turned into movies or TV shows. I hate that I am so susceptible to their gamification, but dammit, I WILL earn all the bookmarks in each new 3-month challenge period. (Except if a bookmark has something to do with Kindle Vella, which I am determinedly avoiding like the plague.)
Now I am going to unwind for a bit and finish today's NY Times Spelling Bee game. :)
