To-dos
I update the website for a neighboring township, and while I need another job like I need a hole in the head, this one is a big win-win because I save them a lot of aggravation and they pay me fairly and heap lots of praise on me, plus it only takes me about an hour a month. As I was updating some local events listings today, I thought, "Dude, I really need to start going to this stuff." There's a hike led by a naturalist every Saturday and Sunday morning at 10am just up the street. I need to at least go to that.
As I scanned my to-do list this morning to see what needs to happen today in the world of JCP, I came across this weekly list.
TO BE SCHEDULED
[X] Call handyman (if he doesn't call back, call again next week after Mac is delivered. MY GOD IT'S DONE
[ ] Edit/produce Zero Hour
Ha ha, am I relieved or what! I crack myself up. A plumbing repair that was hanging over my head for a year is finally done, after I called FOUR different people to try to get it handled. My next door neighbor recommended a guy and it was just no big deal for him to do it. No phone tag. No cryptic emails. His office* took my call, and then he just came over and did the job. WHEW.
*and "his office" is probably just his wife, but she's obviously doing a great job of scheduling him.
Which reminds me of this, because it's another husband/wife business... I just found out the dentist I love got offered a big prestigious job heading up some kind of cancer-jaw program in Tennessee. I'm happy for him but sad for myself. It took me forever to find a good dentist. When I was a kid, my dentist drilled all my teeth without Novocaine and told me not to be a baby about it. (Sounds like I grew up in Soviet era Poland or something.) He is handing off his practice to a colleague he's been grooming for the spot. Hopefully she is as good as he is.
