a full day
Dec. 19th, 2021 11:56 pmThis Sunday I:
1. Ushered at the church service, which was in-person but masked and socially distanced and we checked everyone's temperature as they came in. Hopefully that was enough precautions. We have regretfully cancelled our Tuesday night Solstice ceremony, but the Christmas Eve afternoon pageant and evening candle services are still on for the moment.
We may have to swap back to virtual-only services in January, depending on how the Covid situation progresses.
2. Changed my linens and prepped for laundry, which I will deal with Monday night after work.
3. Bought groceries, including various baking supplies and some cheap plastic plates with a reindeer on them to serve as packaging. While I was at the grocery store, I found somebody's EBT card on the floor and turned it in to the customer service desk. Hopefully the person who lost the card was able to retrieve it!
4. Took a 1-hour nap.
5. Baked brownies, almond cake bars, and snickerdoodles, and then made up five plates to take to work tomorrow. They are for Mom Boss, Aunt Boss, Miss California, the Maintenance department at large, and Ms. Expansive (one of the concierges; the other, Ms. Fretful, is on vacation until January so I shall have to think of something else for her). Tomorrow I'll take in five more plates, for Mr. Geniality, Ms. Random Numbers, Ms. Rise-and-Shine, Lawyer Man, and the downtown Maintenance crew.
6. Collected my trash, took the bag to the bin, and then took the bin to the curb for pickup because it was finally full.
6. Made a list of people to whom I need to mail holiday cards. I will write the actual cards Monday evening, because I ran out of time today.
And now, bed!
