Things done.

[lyorn]

I had one day each of comp time the last two weeks and managed to whittle down my ToDo-List to about half its length. And read two doorstoppers.

• hosted a kaffeeklatsch with traditional plum cake, chocolate tarte and sherry cherry cake


• saw a movie ("BlackkKlansman"), with flederkatz and Ceridwen. Went to the pub for banana pizza before.


• got glasses fitted for working at the computer


• went to the doc for my shoulder, had checked for systemic problems (none), and got a reference to an orthopaedist


• trained Tullamore the Tabby to let me brush his fur (I haz shiny tabby now!)


• improved my backstroke enough to consistently manage 50 metres without getting lost to the left, or right, or bottom


• had a quite satisfying ensemble practise, where I mostly sang first sopraono and managed just fine (but Dunning-Kruger still feeds the panic hamster)


• bought a smartphone and managed (with flederkatz' help) to get it running


• finally managed to get a data privacy statement written and uploaded for my other blog


• after two years found a carpenter willing to look at my old dinner table and agreeing that he would fix it (in October)


• got the duvet cleaned (while the nights were still mild)


• annoyed the leather worker enough to have him finally fix two bags I brought there in April. It took him 6 minutes. I was watching.


• had the craftsperson come over (after six months) and fix the fly door in the bedroom


• got a mirror for the hall, so I do not have to walk over to Ceridcen so check if my dress is too short or the shoes do not match


• got rid of 20 books I have picked up only for dusting or moving in the last 20 years


• finished Anthony Ryan's "Draco Memoriam" triology (will probably read again)


• got rid of a very expensive insurance that I do not really need anymore (still scared. Still looking for a name for my panic hamster)


• tracked some minor financial stuff and got it back on track. ("Oh. I see that no one has paid their fees this month. Seems our automated system is down. Thank you for alerting me to this.")


• found that the manufacturer of my much-beloved coffee maker is insolvent and their successor answers the phone but has no idea how to fix a coffee maker, nor do they know who might have one, nor are they the least bit bothered by their ignorance. :-(


• found out where to send the money for the music workshop in November, and did send it
  

If I had a day off every week, I could take over the world. Or, maybe, get enough sleep.
