the_rckWe didn't make it to the library to pick up holds yesterday, so I need to do that today. I won't need to carry much on the way there because Scott dropped everything off at Traverwood yesterday.
I also need to run laundry and the dishwasher. I got about half of the dirty dishes into the dishwasher while I was making breakfast for myself and Cordelia, but there were a number of items that need soaking. I haven't been able to persuade either Scott or Cordelia that rinsing bowls right after using them is something they really, really need to do. Maybe a new dishwasher would be robust enough to deal with dried on food, but the current one isn't.
Beyond that, today should be mostly Yuletide related things. I would like to pack up more stuff to get rid of, but realistically, we're not doing another run for a couple of weeks. I'm frustrated in terms of my of to-do list in as much as it consists mostly things that I simply can't accomplish quickly (or need help with) or readily break down into steps that can be accomplished. I keep looking at it and realizing that I haven't finished anything today and won't tomorrow.
I'm still, for example, only halfway through cleaning out the hall closet. One of the two things remaining to be done requires Scott's presence because I need him to decide which coats he wants to keep. The other thing to be done is to wipe down all the flat surfaces with something damp to remove the dust. I'm hesitant about that because of the dust it will raise, even if I'm careful. (The hall closet is directly across the hall from our bedroom door.) Also, I don't think I can reach the top shelf for dusting even with our step stool.
I'm tempted to pull all of those coats out and put them on the loveseat where Scott normally sits so that he has to deal with them, but I think today is not the day for it. He needs to pay bills today, and work hit with a big project on Friday that needs to be completed today even though everyone in the office* who has any clue how to do it will be out. Scott's going to be trying to figure out something entirely new to him and to the plant without the support of his coworkers. Oh, and he might need to go to urgent care for a skin infection that hasn't responded to the prescribed antibiotics.
Then again, the looking at coats thing should take about ten minutes. If there are a dozen things in there, I'd be astonished.
*There are only four employees in the office. One had kidney failure right after Thanksgiving, and no one knows when or if he'll return. Another scheduled a bunch of medical appointments for today, planning it months in advance. There's no reason that the big new thing must get done today except that the folks higher up want it immediately.
