In no particular order:
1. We're changing up the schedule at the rental company a little as of next week, because their current temp is leaving after Friday, Ms. Busywork's medical leave has been extended indefinitely, and having Mr. Geniality back and forth between the main office and the satellite office isn't working well.
So I will still be in Collegetown on Mondays, and will be at the satellite office 10am-6pm on Saturdays, but Wednesday through Friday I will be at the main office from 9am-11am so I can A) coordinate better with Mr. Geniality, Ms. Rise-and-Shine, and Ms. Random Numbers, and B) do some of the scanning and filing. Then I will go to the satellite office until 6pm.
This is going to be a little logistically annoying, but being able to talk to the main office staff face to face should be helpful.
2. My congregation has been having some personnel issues lately (details redacted because privacy and confidentiality are still things), and the Board repurposed tonight's planned balcony meeting to discuss that and some related issues, instead of our planned discussion about our vision of ministry and strategic planning. Sometimes events happen and you have to deal with them, you know? I wrote up some quick and dirty minutes and emailed them to everyone for reference, which is kind of my job now as clerk.
Agreeing to be clerk was probably a bad idea, but somebody had to do it and if I can't write and organize stuff by this point in my life, something has gone Very Wrong with the universe. (I mean, more than 2020 has gone wrong in general. *wry*)
3. I think I may have killed another tiny clementine tree, goddammit. And I've been doing so well with the one I bought in January! (That one is still fine, don't worry.) The difference is that the new one had more root and less soil in its pot, so it dried out faster than I expected and I didn't water it soon enough. *sigh* I mean, it still has... four leaves? It might recover. But I suspect not. :(
4. After several weeks (...or longer...) of letting comments stack up in my inbox, I am finally trying to reply to them. I got through maybe fifteen today, which is not bad at all.
Now I am going to drink some cider and try to clear my mind with creative writing.
