Stuff done:
Organized a yard sale for later this month.
Completely emptied out one armoire and sorted/culled things before hanging the
to be kept
garments back up.
Made lamb stew for dinner, which is currently simmering.
Later tonight, hand-sewing.
Alterations to a frock coat.
Removing buttons from a waistcoat I'm getting rid of.
Taking the Hogwarts patch off a jacket and setting it aside for when the next frock coat I order gets here.
All while rewatching Penny Dreadful, because I CAN.
Your mom was in absolute heaven with that baby girl.
I'm really glad to have met Ellen because of you. Well, and everyone else too, but she's the newest!
So much TCB! An extra day really does help.

Awww, yay! I do think that's one of my skills--getting cool people to meet other cool people!
Extra 3 days for me. And I need every one of them. (Taking off tomorrow too, clearly.)
There's a reason I describe you as my concierge for Baltimore. And my friend! But when explaining how I came to this that or the other when it takes a crowbar to get me out of my immediate area normally. "lisah"

Totally. I am already sad that I have no more holidays until Thanksgiving. Although I am taking a floating holiday for Rosh Hoshana, so that'll be nice. If I was a more sensible person I would take a bunch of Fridays off and get my house in order. Maybe after I get back from Iceland and start accruing vacation again, just start taking days off as soon as I have the time banked...
still undone:
mop kitchen
clean off dresser
wash car
vacuum other half of car
I have 2 more pairs of pants to measure and this first stack of clothes will be done.
hmmm. I think starting on the dresser is all that is gonna get done tonight, as it is bedtime. Maybe I can vacuum that side of the car in the morning before we leave.
I'm taking the last of my vacation save one day the week of Halloween. Figure I should keep a day for emergencies. I have things I want to do over All Hallow's and I like having that time of year off.
edit: and since I find myself in the role of minor job producer, I'll do my liberal best.
