rainy day means getting work done
I get to spend all of today in my pajamas. Which, considering the weather, is pretty much a perfect pairing.
I've got some ongoing goals that I'm working at, so it's not all kitty snuggles and knitting.
1. Pro Rata is transferring our banking software from Quicken to Quickbooks. And by Pro Rata, I mean me. Single line item by single line item. Assigning each a class and category, and setting up vendors and employees and donors. And I have to learn this new software as I go. It's slow going. But I am determined to prevail, and when this process is done, we will have a much clearer picture that make our financially minded board members very happy. Thankfully, we're starting with FY2010, so I don't have to do a decade of this. Just six months. I spent another couple of hours on it this morning, and have made it up to closing of Spanish Tragedy, which means I'm almost done!
2. Shrew research. I worked through 3 books yesterday. If I can get through three a day I will be done by the time my summer classes get into swing. I also need to go through the cutting and fix punctuation, and I've tasked myself at least one scene (preferably one act) per day to get it done by summer classes.
3. Hitch. I'm down to 10 hitchcock movies left. This has been a great experience to really understand who he was as a director, and I think I'm going to do it with the other 'top 25 most influential directors of all time' as well. Just for funsies.
4. Tartuffe. I want to get the auditions sides squared away soon, because that will be auditioning pretty much during tech week of Shrew, and I don't want to deal with it when I'm focusing on Shew. Must get on that.
...
So the plan for the afternoon is some Shrew research, some punctuation work, a Hitch, and then I'm indulging in the last disk of Carnivale season 1, all paired with Blueberry Streusel, which I made yesterday. Excellent.
