Where does the day go? Yesterday was so productive. Today? It’s after 2PM and I’ve spent all day on my butt. Doing things that are important and not fun.
- Balancing 4, yes 4, checkbooks: 1 personal and 1 business account at the old bank, 1 personal and 1 business account at the new bank. I’ll be really happy when all my deposits go into the new bank and I can close the accounts at the old bank.
- Making an appointment for an energy audit. It’s free and can only provide me with helpful information. I may or may not be able to implement their suggestions to reduce my energy usage this year, but I won’t know what’s recommended if I don’t get the audit.
- Calling 2 roofers to get them to come out and give me estimates on replacing my roof. I may or may not be able to do it till spring, but again, I won’t know what kind of cost I’m looking at if I don’t ask. I’m going to have them give me 2 prices, 1 for shingles and 1 for a metal roof. I’m hoping I can do the latter. If these prices are something I can do this year, I’ll get a 3rd estimate just to be sure.
- Talking to the really nice man from Birchcrest who came to look at my window. A pebble from the grinding clearly made a ‘ding’ in one of my studio thermopane windows. Birchcrest is used to dealing with problems and will take care of this one. (Sure glad I washed my windows yesterday or may not have noticed this for months, when it would have been too late to take care of it.)
- Calling the window company that installed the relatively new windows in most of the house for a repair/replacement. One of the windows that I washed yesterday wasn’t just dirty, it’s clearly cloudy, and since it’s still under warranty, now’s the time to get it fixed.
- Entering bills paid and checks received into Quickbooks for my business. How is it possible I hadn’t done this since May??!! So needless to say, a PITA to catch it all up.
Now I can FINALLY sit down at the loom. But first I have to wash those sliding glass doors!
Talk about a busy day!!
And I suspect someone was hoping that a walk was on the schedule too. Cute pic of Jack.
A walk is ALWAYS on the schedule. I do that first thing in the morning. Previously alone, now Jack is on my walks, between 2-3 miles in the AM and a much shorter one later in the day.
Jack is an adorable dog. Glad that he was put in a safe, loving home.
Jack is indeed adorable. Being here is very good for both of us. 🙂
He gets cuter each time I see a picture of him.
Busy woman, it’s great to be walking twice a day with a lovely companion, isn’t it? You and he are both reaping rewards unknown before he came into your life.
Looking forward to seeing what’s on the loom.
