stuff done, and a note about highly tentative future plans
Stuff done recently-ish:
1. Applied for a federal direct subsidized student loan. I think, if all goes well, that I can get an associate degree by the end of 2018, which means I will not be ruinously in debt and should be able to pay the damn thing back early. *crosses fingers*
2. Put a hold on my mail over Christmas.
3. Harvested four peppers and cooked two batches of veggie sidedish. Also cooked a batch of Laddie's hotdish.
4. Began the process of figuring out when the Stewardship Committee will have our meetings for the 2018 pledge drive.
5. Paid bills.
6. Figured out when I need to call my doctor to get a renewal of my Celexa prescription. (I have not yet figured out if there's a way to do this online, which would be my preference. But I can suck it up for a phone call -- or, more likely, a couple days of phone tag -- if necessary.)
7. Made a packing list and a to-do list for my Christmas trip to NJ.
And various and sundry other things, but those are probably the most immediately relevant.
---------------
In other news, Vicky plans to move to Minnesota (greater Twin Cities area) sometime in early 2018. She may not stay -- this is an experiment to see if she can live there year-round rather than just visit sporadically -- but if she does, I may join her in 2019. Tax preparation is a fairly portable job, and by then I should have my trained monkey paper (aka associate degree), which would make hunting for non-seasonal jobs a bit easier. And living together would definitely save us both money, so.
I guess we'll see what happens!
