I have spent this past week shoving through a cold, which I started to come down with on the evening of Friday the 20th. (This is not surprising -- tax season ended, I wasn't running under pressure anymore, my body relaxed the constant "go go go" messages... and of course I got sick. That is just how life works.) Anyway, I've been sleeping and blowing my nose a lot, but I think I'm finally mostly better.
Last Sunday I went to my champagne-and-waffle brunch (yes, despite the cold -- it wasn't too bad at that point; Monday through Thursday were the really bad days) and had a lovely time. That meant I wasn't able to do coffee-hour cleanup, though I did still sign up to bring snacks. This week I again brought snacks, and also did cleanup. There were only two of us on the cleanup team, which meant we took a bit longer than ideal to get through the tasks (it's really a three-person job: one to wash/sterilize dishes, one to put away cleaned dishes, and one to gather used dishes from the parlor and clean up the tables) but we got it done.
Today I have been productive! In addition to the church stuff, I changed my linens, took my trash to the bin and the bin to the curb for pickup Monday morning, tossed some old leftovers that had gone funny (on account of them being Not Food to me right now *sigh*), cooked a batch of Laddie's hotdish, made a packing list for my flying trip to NJ later this week, sent a bunch of emails on behalf of the Stewardship team, backed up my computer, did my weekly reading for my Anthropology class, prepped for laundry tomorrow (I decided to postpone it one day on account of persistent rain, bleh), boiled eight eggs, wrote to-do lists for the coming week, and submitted my 2018-19 FAFSA application. So that's good. :)
Tomorrow's schedule includes phone chats with Susan and Cat, a lease update appointment with Landlord Dude (he wants to raise my rent because of property tax increases, and I'm hoping to bargain him down a little), a couple shopping tasks, laundry, vacuuming, some Stewardship team phone calls to people who didn't have listed emails, and various other things.
Hmm, what else, what else.
Oh! In other news, I should tell you about a ridiculous mess at the rental office. ( cut for a pretense of privacy )
Anyway, it's all up in the air and I guess we'll have to wait and see.
And that's pretty much my life at the moment. :)
