I am still working on my list of things to do that I posted here on Tuesday. Not to say that nothing is getting done. LOTS has gotten done.
- have sitters for both my dog and foster dog for trip next week and for foster dog for trip in Sept.
- deposit sent to realtor and money transferred to cover it
- child and immediate family all know about all stuff house
- good lead on potential renter for part of time I will not be in house
- a couple other potential leads for remaining time house will be empty
- had meeting with boss and boss's boss about timeline and possible remote jobs for current company - will re-meet in a month to update on their findings from discussions at HQ
- notified volunteer gig of time away
- have bag mostly packed to make house a serviceable bare-boned rental
Do not flog self! (advice for all)
Edit: so is there no way to make a less-than carat show up here? I tried as many as four.

Ahhhh! I used to know that!
Thanks, friends.
The Outside Lands music festival is taking place this weekend not far from my apartment, so I will be able to
hear
it all weekend, whether I want to or not. I've always been in Chicago for VividCon the same weekend as Outside Lands, but VividCon is no more. I'm planning to hole up and not spend much time out and about in my neighborhood while it's overrun with festival goers, so I guess I should knock off some things on my To Do lists.
OR I could just sit around and read all the library hold books that just came in and eat Jaffa cakes. I guess we'll see.
It's a perfect beach day out here right now, and is supposed to be the same all weekend I think, but I just want to lay around my house and also get some things done and I don't think I can do all of those AND go to the beach. Maybe the hammock, though!
people with robot vacuums - what kind do you have and are you happy with it?
I am getting a fair amount of work work done, which is good. I should still probably put in a few hours each day this weekend because I AM DISTRACTED AS FUCK!
Things that have made me stop and go look at pictures of the new place today:
- worry that the backyard has no shade and I will need to immediately plant trees (it has shade)
- wondering if the oven has a handle I can use as a towel holder (may seem small, but I hate ones that can't. it does btw)
