stuff done: Friday-Sunday

1. First shift of the year at Not the IRS! ...Where I sat around doing pretty much nothing for five hours, because most people don't have their documents yet, and even if they do, efiling is not yet open for state returns. *sigh* I did make a few phone calls, but that was it. (The mall office is closed this year, so we have to notify all clients who used that office that they should come to the plaza office instead.)

2. Printed my 1099-G and started my own tax return, because why not. :)

3. Bought groceries.

4. Baked brownies for coffee hour at church.

5. Facilitated church youth group. This week they had a Skype call with the youth group from the Oneonta congregation, in which they tentatively planned a get-together for early March, and a follow-up Skype session for early February to finalize those plans.

6. Talked to the DRE about the annual stewardship pledge drive and the info we need from her to make that run smoothly.

7. Changed linens.

8. Washed laundry. I folded and put away all the linens, and I have hung up the stuff that needs to air-dry, but the rest of the dry laundry is still sitting in a bag on my armchair. I will put those items away on Monday or Tuesday, probably.

9. Crossposted a bunch of ficlets to AO3.

10. Took the house's collective recycling bins to the curb for pickup.

11. Took a two-hour nap earlier this evening, because I was suddenly visited by the exhaustion fairy, who slugged me in the face with a bag of sand. *wry*

12. Arranged a phone call with Susan, and we caught up and chatted for an hour and a half. :)

13. Touched up Mom's sixth picture frame -- by which I mean, I removed the masking tape (this was harder than usual, since the slight looseness of the frame meant that in several cases the tape was now a couple milimeters under the wood, and I had to pry it out with a knife blade) and applied a final coat of paint to problem areas. I will have to slice off a few bits that smudged over the glass in that process, but as with the laundry, I'll get to that Monday or Tuesday.
