Things I have done this week:

1. The endless saga of photo editing continues. *flops disconsolately over desk* The problem with photo edits is that they are horribly, mind-numbingly tedious, and yet I can't just automate them by saying, "Kick up the light by 30, kick up the color by 50, increase clarity by 15" and so on, because every photo has a ( Read more... )

I got up a bit later than intended, and then took a little longer getting ready to leave than intended, with the net result that I left at 12:15pm instead of 11-11:30am, but my drive was pretty smooth and I made it to NJ before sunset, so it's all good. I listened to the latest episode of Enthusigasm, and then several lectures in my current Great ( Read more... )

Things done today:

1. More photo editing. I am very tired of photo editing. I have so many more photos to edit. *slumps wearily over desk*

2. Wrangled Mr. Geniality down to the Commons to shoot an intro clip for an apartment he videoed on his own (probably on a Tuesday, which is my day off) during the period his voice was lost. He didn't tell me he ( Read more... )

Things about today:

1. Did laundry in the morning(ish), and successfully finished before the afternoon rain.

2. Zoom call with Susan and Cat at 1pm. It is really good to see them, even virtually! :D Also, Susan has okayed telling people, so I am pleased beyond words to announce (to you guys, who don't know her at all *wry*) that she is pregnant, with ( Read more... )

Things about today:

1. I worked 10am-6pm instead of 9am-5pm, because Mr. Geniality is out for the week (his friend got free tickets to Vegas and he needed to use up some vacation days) and I wanted to make sure someone was in the office in case a tenant came in between 5 and 6pm. In the event, one person did came in to pay some back rent, so yay for ( Read more... )

This post will be vague for privacy reasons.

So.

I left later than I'd hoped, which is partially because I accidentally cursed myself to sleep poorly (I always sleep poorly the night before I travel somewhere), and partially because I wanted to get some stuff done in Ithaca before hitting the road.

But! I loaded Mom's two boxes of nice china dishes into my lovely car (along with a basket of ( Read more... )

On Thursday evening, I had a brief phone chat with my parents to catch up on general stuff, during which Mom mentioned being a little worried that Hurricane Ida might have done some water damage to their basement and garage, which they were in no position to do anything about. (Mom and Dad are currently at the cabin in Minnesota.)

Today I recalled ( Read more... )

I am this close to being done with photos and videos for 2020!

...By which I mean done with taking them, of course. Now I get to turn my attention to editing them and uploading them to our website, as well as maybe getting back to my long-abandoned project of creating Shutterfly albums as a repository of all the photos that don't fit on our website.

Whoops, haven't posted in a while!

Anyway, stuff in my life:

1. The remainder of my vacation was lovely, and I enjoyed getting to see Nick's house (complete with creeptastic basement!) and neighborhood between leaving the island and catching my flight back to Newark. I may make a more detailed post sometime.

2. Susan's wedding was lovely and I will ( Read more... )
