edenfalling1. Brief visit with Mom, upon the occasion of her taking Dottie back home to NJ.
2. Removed air conditioner from window for the winter. Also put away my box fan for the winter; this involves taping a plastic garbage bag over it to keep out the worst of the dust, and then lifting it on top of my bedroom closet.
3. Bought groceries, mostly on Friday but with a supplemental trip on Saturday.
4. Prevented a neighborhood fire and/or downed power line disaster, go me!
5. Took my kitchen compost to the outside bin.
6. Facilitated church youth group, which involved a little bit of planning for Friday's community dinner and music night (which they are co-hosting with the music committee), but mostly involved discussion around a set of question cards I found on one of the supply shelves.
7. Changed linens, which was more of a production than usual since I also turned my mattress (I do that maybe two or three times a year) and switched from my summer blanket to my winter comforter.
8. Washed laundry, dried laundry, put away laundry.
9. Took recycling bins to curb for pickup.
10. Called Susan on Sunday and Cat on Monday to chat and generally catch up.
11. Cooked a batch of fajita filling. Also cooked a batch of rice. Took resulting compost to the bin.
12. Photographed my peppers, posted the pictures to Tumblr, and crossposted them to Dreamwidth. I also finally got around to crossposting last week's pepper photos.
13. Brought my peppers indoors for a few days because of frost warnings. I will take them back outdoors Saturday morning.
14. Attended a Tuesday night Not the IRS continuing education course on depreciation. Signed up for a two-part course on rental income, and attended the first session on Thursday night.
15. Got hired to do some pre-season receptionist work for the downtown office of Not the IRS. Nothing is scheduled yet, but I will get that straightened out sometime next week.
16. Signed up for the Daredevil Secret Santa exchange. Received my assignment, which... hmm... will be an interesting stretch for me as a writer? Yeah, let's go with that.
17. Vacuumed my apartment.
18. Did some food prep for the Friday night dinner-and-music event at church on Thursday afternoon.
Next week will be a little crowded because I am covering Miss Cactus's Monday shift in payment for her covering my Tuesday shift this week.
We got mildly chewed out by our supervisors for that swap, btw. See, they'd approved our previous attempt at shift swapping because the days we traded (Tuesday for Thursday) were within the same week, so we kept our overall hours-worked at the same number. But we had to rejigger that because it turned out Miss Cactus needed to be at the office on Thursday for a training session, and our next attempt had us swapping days between two different weeks... which would normally have kicked Miss Cactus into overtime. And we are not authorized to give people overtime hours. Oops.
(Coincidentally, Miss Cactus is not actually getting overtime because she's not working this Saturday, which means I will be staffing the office entirely on my own for eight hours. That should be interesting. But neither of us was thinking about that when we arranged the swap, and we should have been.)
