wherein Liz thinks out loud about various upcoming tasks
Scheduling stuff:
1. My Anthro final mini-essays are submitted and I am officially DONE for the semester. Of course, my summer classes start on the 30th, but I plan to enjoy the heck out of my week and a half of freedom. :D
2. WIP Big Bang snippets are due tomorrow evening. That's not really a problem for me -- I have ~45,000 extant words of "Lemonade" to choose from, after all -- so I just need to pick three that are A) characteristic and B) would maybe make good illustrations.
3. I return Dottie to NJ on Sunday. On the one hand, this is sad: no more dog. On the other hand, this is wonderful: no more dog. I always underestimate how much having her around throws off my schedule.
4. I agreed to work overtime again this coming week, since we still don't have a replacement for Miss Cactus. "The extra money is worth it," I tell myself. I am starting to wonder if I'm telling myself the truth. *wry*
5. I need to get a haircut in early June. (Should I talk to Vicky about potentially dyeing it purple while we overlap at the cabin...? Hmm. Something to consider.)
6. Should I try to schedule an optometrist appointment this summer? I feel like it's been a while since I got my eyes checked...
7. I failed to give blood yesterday morning -- low hemoglobin, to nobody's surprise -- so I'll try again in a couple-three weeks.
8. I need to buy several new work-appropriate short-sleeve shirts to replace the ones I'm going to pull and donate to my church's recycling sale. (If I don't actually wear them, there is no point in having them take up space in my closet, especially when they would be perfectly good shirts for somebody who isn't me.) I must remember to get to the mall soonish.
9. Maybe I can see Infinity War while I'm out there?
10. I should also remember to buy a replacement pair of brown dress/work shoes sometime this summer.
11. I need to unpack and set up my small floor fans.
12. I should check the book requirements for my summer classes, in case I need to buy actual physical stuff from the TC3 bookstore. That would require a dedicated afternoon and also a cash fare for the return trip, because of TCAT's fare zones.
13. I think I will try weeding the "garden" and planting some squash seeds this coming week. Probably not Monday, but maybe some other evening since I won't have a dog to wrangle anymore.
14. Oh god, I need to start thinking about tax preparer continuing education courses, don't I.
...
Right, that's more than enough to be getting on with at the moment.
