Tuesday update
Stuff about stuff:
1. Current holiday plans are as follows: Nick has an MRI appointment tomorrow noonish, after which he and Dad will start driving east. They plan on three easy days to get from Minnesota to New Jersey, arriving late afternoon on Xmas Eve. Meanwhile, I will drive down on the 23rd. Beacon has decided to do a virtual Xmas Eve service, so we may or may not watch that. I will head back to Ithaca on Sunday, and Nick and Dad will take another 3-day drive back west to Minnesota at some point thereafter, with I think the goal of arriving on or before New Year's Eve.
2. I have purchased all my gifts (except a charitable donation that I need to make and print up a record to put in a nice envelope or something), and mailed all my cards, so that's dealt with.
3. Still doing endless photo editing and video tour review at work, though we are also slowly but steadily signing new and renewal leases, as well as processing sublets.
4. My Covid-19 test from this morning came back negative, hurrah! I was a little worried because there has been a distressingly high transmission rate among Cornell students, and my job by definition exposes me to a lot of Cornell students. Community transmission is also high in Tompkins County in general right now.
For example, Mr. Commercial, my annoying coworker who I fortunately rarely see in person, has caught Covid a second time, which I think is again his own stupid fault for not taking appropriate precautions at a church function. (I am judging his church so hard right now, you have no idea.) One of our Maintenance staff may or may not have Covid himself, but his spouse and kids all have it, so he's stuck in quarantine regardless. So that's been a thing.
...
I think I am going to buy some wax melts, because I am running out of those and this is going to be a long winter. If you want to comment on this post, you can do so over here on Dreamwidth, where there are currently (
