Yesterday was so productive.  Today?  It&#8217;s after 2PM and I&#8217;ve spent all day on my butt.  Doing things that are important and not fun.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>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&#8217;ll be really happy when all my deposits go into the new bank and I can close the accounts at the old bank.<\/li>\n<li>Making an appointment for an energy audit.  It&#8217;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&#8217;t know what&#8217;s recommended if I don&#8217;t get the audit.<\/li>\n<li>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&#8217;t know what kind of cost I&#8217;m looking at if I don&#8217;t ask.  I&#8217;m going to have them give me 2 prices, 1 for shingles and 1 for a metal roof.  I&#8217;m hoping I can do the latter.  If these prices are something I can do this year, I&#8217;ll get a 3rd estimate just to be sure.<\/li>\n<li>Talking to the really nice man from Birchcrest who came to look at my window.  A pebble from the grinding clearly made a &#8216;ding&#8217; 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.)<\/li>\n<li>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&#8217;t just dirty, it&#8217;s clearly cloudy, and since it&#8217;s still under warranty, now&#8217;s the time to get it fixed.<\/li>\n<li>Entering bills paid and checks received into Quickbooks for my business.  How is it possible I hadn&#8217;t done this since May??!!  So needless to say, a PITA to catch it all up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now I can FINALLY sit down at the loom.  But first I have to wash those sliding glass doors!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p>Where does the day go? Yesterday was so productive. Today?
