First week update:

A lot of mine are and will be on hold until the end of the semester. Guess I should have put all the grading in the world on the list.

But I did make some progress on the chapter yesterday, and a lot of progress on the poster earlier in the week, and got my co-presenters going on things, which is even better.

Still don’t know what classes I’m teaching a month from now, so that’s great. I know some, but prep comes after finishing current ones. Cookies (loosely) scheduled for sometime next weekend, and name change paperwork depending on when the young friend gets paid because that shit’s expensive.

Progress as of 12/7:

  • make progress in garage: clear a substantial amount of floor space (sub-goals: get rid of bed frame, take load of stuff to dump, clear out sunflowers, move rugs/large cloth items on treadmill, take cans to bottle drop, take out glass recycling )
  • submission spree (submit to 4 more journals)
  • get a will written even if it’s DIY
  • finish reading at least one more book (my goal was 20 for the year; I think I’m at 14 or 15 so I’m not making that)
  • call internet service provider and ask why our bill is higher/ask for lower rate again <–no luck on that; they said we are already paying the cheapest possible

Absolutely zero progress.

Husband was super sick last week and now I’ve got something.

Changing the outlets is the easiest in the sense it requires the least thinking.

I gotta get the taxes done to get Ford’s bribe money. While I’m annoyed at the bribe, I still want the money.

Week 1 check in:

  • go through MacBook Pro and delete duplicate photos.
