Things I have done today:
1. Edited three more articles for the encyclopedia. Or rather, constructed three more articles -- I am playing cut-and-paste, yanking out some complete irrelevancies, and correcting gross errors, but Dad and his co-editors are the ones who will trim the excessively wordy articles down to size and make sure all the science stuff is right. But it's a hell of a lot easier for them to do that once I've taken a mish-mash of information and worked it into something that is actually article-shaped. :-)
Dad says he will bring me a check when he and Mom visit Friday night, en route to their next stay at Cass Lake. (They are also leaving me a car! I will have wheels until early October!! So exciting!!!)
2. Closed my NJ bank account, both savings and checking. I opened it when I was 16 or 17 and needed somewhere to put the money I earned working for Pat, and for a while it was useful because it was a joint account with Mom and she diverted a bit of money in each month to subsidize my health insurance (I have awful health insurance, but it's better than nothing, right?), but since Mom retired there is no point having my money split up between two banks in two states. So I called them today and they will send all my funds to Ithaca as a check, which I can then deposit in my local account.
3. Paid my bills. Aaaaah, air conditioners are expensive! I haven't even had it turned on for about a week now -- the weather has been surprisingly mild for August, even for Ithaca -- but it was very welcome in July and early August and I'm sure I will be grateful again next summer.
4. Cleaned my bathroom and dusted my apartment. Because Mom made disappointed faces the last time she and Dad visited, and while I didn't feel up to vacuuming, the least I could do was swipe at my bookcases and baseboards to remove the worst of the dust bunnies. (I use up all my cleaning impulses at the smoke shop and have none left over for my own home. It's tragic. Or it would be tragic, if I actually cared, but I use up all my caring at work as well.)
5. Slept in and was generally lazy. This is because A) it was my day off, and B) I was afraid I might be coming down with a cold, which I absolutely, positively CANNOT AFFORD until we hire at least one new employee at the smoke shop. Right now if anyone gets sick, there is literally no way to cover unless everyone else works seven days straight, and that leads nowhere good. We are already suffering from increased stress and interpersonal tensions, and I am honestly a little afraid that if it gets worse JM or MS will have some kind of emotional breakdown (and possibly quit), or BW will have a physical breakdown (and maybe end up in the hospital), or PM or I will either just blank out/shut down or completely lose it at a fellow employee and/or customer. Long-term stress does nobody any favors.

Bonus #6. Wrote more of that Aradia<3Aradia kinkmeme prompt, which is now at 1,100 words. I have gotten through the exposition (dreambubbles, duh) and the foreplay (a lot of laughing and some bad Troll Indiana Jones roleplay, because why not?), and am about to start the actual sex. Yay?
