Things since my last post:

1. Plate count at church on Sunday. It was super exciting. We got a whole [redacted] dollars. Anyway, I wrote up a deposit slip and left it for the congregational administrator to deal with.

2. All four apartments in my house lost heat late on Sunday afternoon, but fortunately Landlord Dude was able to fix the boiler after ( Read more... )

Summary of the previous week and a half:

I have been so goddamn tired and I don't know why.

Anyway, Christmas was good, I got home safely, nothing weird there. I bought some cute otters-in-snow postage stamps and used them to send thank-you notes in a timely fashion as well, so go me! And I spent Aunt Cara's Target gift card on some more long-sleeve ( Read more... )

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 ( Read more... )

Things and stuff:

1. Saturday was a slow work day -- I did some photo edits and some emails, and also got asked to help jump-start a parking tenant's dead car, which was a first for me. It also reminded me that I don't yet have any jumper cables, so that has gone onto my Xmas/birthday wish list.

2. Hospitality team work at church this morning, which ( Read more... )

1. I got my Covid-19 booster shot on Saturday. The overall effect has been much more similar to my first shot than my second -- no fever or general flu-like malaise -- but after the initial muscle soreness in my left shoulder wore off, I seem to have developed some joint soreness and possibly a slightly sore/swollen lymph node? Or then again, maybe ( Read more... )

Things about today:

1. Got my Covid booster shot! This was annoying to schedule, but the actual shot part went very smoothly. My upper arm has been getting achey as the day wears on, but so far not too badly.

2. The local Collegetown burger place I sometimes order from has changed their order/payment processor YET AGAIN, which is frustrating and ( Read more... )

Things about this week:

1. Worked in the Collegetown office on Monday, as per usual. Got a bunch of stuff done, but not the main project Miss California left for me -- mostly because of an absolute deluge of packages that had been building up over the Thanksgiving break. Do not speak to me of packages. *headdesk*

2. Had my annual urology checkup on ( Read more... )

Which is pronounced Oh-lee-ann, or Oh-lee-uhn, apparently -- it's related (via oleo) to oil deposits in this part of western New York.

Anyway, things about today:

1. Two separate apartment tours: one for a 3-bedroom and one for a studio. The studio prospect submitted an application right as I was leaving for the day -- I need to email Mr. Geniality ( Read more... )

I have had a very strange week, by which I mean I have spent since Wednesday the 13th effectively going through what feels like the excruciatingly prolonged recovery from a bad bout of flu (exhaustion, general aches, tendency to overheat or freeze at the drop of a hat, no reserves whatsoever) without actually, you know, having had the flu. The ( Read more... )

Well, I was officially under a quarantine order for about... oh, 90 minutes? this afternoon, but obviously that did not last long.

Basically I got preventatively quarantined on account of having had contact with Ms. Random Numbers, but was very shortly thereafter exempted because the state verified that I am vaccinated. The one potential issue is ( Read more... )
