Tuesday/Wednesday

Checked off a few more things on the list, but haven't gotten to others because the jewelry is defeating my desire to move along in a business-like way. Also, I need to make a few repairs -- a couple of glass gems need re-gluing (one is an earring I intend to give away but still). Nevertheless, some progress was made.

Suggestions on glue to use?

Checks written for Nature Conservancy and Arbor Day Foundation. ADF still offers to send you 10 trees with membership but I prefer to choose my own. Besides, they now have other options like using the funds for those trees for educating the public or planting 10 trees in national parks affected by fire; I chose the latter.

Tired this morning. Wake-ups from cats or from husband awoken by a cat plus the furnace making weird sounds. This last was followed up (as we lay there wondering if he was up and about) by William coming up the stairs to get fitzw's help with figuring out what was wrong with the furnace, as it was overheating. Being up in the wee hours wasn't a complete loss for me though, as I got in some practice on forms and watered the plants.

However my training in politeness may be a little strained this morning.... I do dislike having an irregular night. Just a warning to my friends online, that the various faculties are somewhat diminished today.

Postal Stuff

Checks posted in the mail box. Turns out no one had brought yesterday's mail in so I picked it up. All for me and L this time, including a book order (haven't had one of those in a while), and the extended version of the LotR DVDs. Whoot!

The mail order is a U.S. postal money order, which means I can send off the book right away too. And handily, cash the check at the post office, so no need to go down to the bank (a couple towns over).

Things are looking up for today!
