Found my professional indemnity insurance certificate and filed it in my Diploma portfolio.
Arranged to collect my Diploma Case Study which had gone astray in the Tutor's hands.

Sounds like an adventure. :)

Started filling my taxes for the first time--I want to beat the living day lights out of for congratulate the person who designed the California tax system in all it's confusing and idiotic complexity. ( :o )

I think this is a good idea
can we all do it?
it helps me focus on the positive

I sent an email complaint letter to a wedding listing company-they keep billing me even though I have properly (as per business agreement) told them not to bill me any longer.

Helped a lost and not very bright professor arrange parking for her students so that she could take them on a University field trip. Note: I am positive the prof is brilliant at her thing, her speciality, but not this anyway.

Did my daughters taxes- with her-second year and she is learning. (and yes Scrib i've heard about those Cali taxes!, in fact as I was born there I still get something from them, i suppose they figure we will just blanch at the forms and simpy send them something  :mrgreen:)

to-dos
do something about Mt. VHSuvius in my living room, unpacked them all. Well at least I now have end tables.

Half installed the new chant room at the Hermitage.
Burned the DVD copy of the video tape.
Paid 2 cheques into the bank that have been lurking for weeks.
Got a beautiful bracelet using the credit note from one that broke; credit note having also lurked - for a year - and actually expired on 31st March but the shop honoured it.
Picked up my case study from the Tutor who mislaid it.
Bought 10 CDs to copy audio tapes to (so I can listen to them in bed) - kicking off a New Project - the transfer audio tapes project.
Bought some cheap picture frames to put Baby Photos in.
Had a migraine.
Failed to buy any food. Too bloody knackered.
Failed to order supermarket food delivery online. Too bloody knackered.

To Do:  Decide whether to raid the freezer and risk food poisoning as everything in there is about 6 years old.

Timescale: whenever migraine clears up enough to eat.

Let's see...couldn't sleep last night, so I researched Etsy shops and wholesale yarn purchasing on the 'net, then slept half the day.

Responded to a list of knitters and crocheters, responded to three yarn companies (No, I do NOT wish to purchase 2 tons of woolen yarn, custom dyed, thank you.) gathered patterns that would work with a basic Red Heart Economy Grade Yarn (basic scarf, hooded scarf, toboggan-type cap, uhhh. I forget)---and played Doggie Mommy to a Schnauzer with a chunk of glass in the pad of his foot. (Got 2 face lickin's and a nose-kissy.)

Attended a Democrat's Club meeting, took on the getting of an appreciation gift for retiring County Chair, sluffed Precinct Chair (our precinct) off on Dan, got appointed as interim Precinct Chair for another precinct that doesn't have one...AND WE HAVE A RUN-OFF TUESDAY!!

Started gathering the "You MIGHT be a 'Noid" one-liners for collection into a booklet, and possibly a sleep-shirt with illustrations. Decided that we don't have (as many of us were misdiagnosed) IBS--Irritable Bowel Syndrome, we instead have INS--Irritable 'Noid Syndrome.

Got to my e-mail about 10, got here about midnight.

Tomorrow is MOMday... :tantrum:

Slept until noon, went and got Mom's medicine (ate Chinese food while in a town with Chinese restaurants) and brought my friend Denise a Venti Breve Toffeenut Latte with Whipped Cream on it. (This is significant because I did NOT have to call her and then repeat what she wanted to the barista. The Bryan Starbucks crew was VERY proud of me!)
