daily update, Wednesday April 1
1. Not the IRS 11am-noon. Wherein I finished one return and uploaded it for the client to approve or return with comments, and called a couple other clients to leave messages. I also mostly cleared out my little cubby in the back room since I currently only have one more scheduled shift before April 15 and whatever happens after than, it will be at the valley office rather than my office.
2. Phone call with Susan at 1pm. :D
3. Repaired one pair of pants and got 3/4 of the way through repairing a second pair. I intend to finish up this evening.
4. A few days ago I finished one Great Courses series -- The Terror of History: Mystics, Heretics, and Witches in the Western Tradition by Prof. Teofilo F. Ruiz (which is pretty cool, though I am a little 'eh' about some of his analysis of the history and purpose of religion in general (though it fits pretty well with Christianity and he does treat Judaism separately) and also I am firmly of the belief that all historical analysis can be improved by NOT drawing on Freud or Jung) -- and have moved on to How the Earth Works by Prof. Michael E. Wysession. I listened to several lectures today while doing various household tasks and walking or driving to various places.
5. Took my daily walk to Cascadilla Creek and back so I wouldn't start climbing the walls.
6. Made almond cake! I halved the cake recipe and loosely two-thirded the icing, and baked the cake in a 9 x 13 pan so it's a little thicker than the original intent (even with the halved amounts), but it smells fine and passed the toothpick test, so I think it came out all right. It's cooling on a rack now and I will have a piece or two for dessert.
I have not written anything yet today, but I may or may not get on that after I finish repairing my pants. *wry*
