Stuff I Did – January
I decided that it would be much more useful (and much less painful) to list the stuff that I did in a given month, rather than the stuff that I should have done and didn’t do. Obviously, there’s a huge (hyuuuuuuge) to-do list behind this, but it’s more positive to be positive, or so I think.
- Cleaned out garage. This means that all of the tile stuff is downstairs for mosaic projects (if and when I find time), all the dirt and leaves and grass have been swept out, all the cobwebs are gone, and all of the stuff on the shelves is more-or-less straightened out. A good day’s work.
- Took down the Christmas tree. Got everything downstairs, too.
- Fixed the big hole in the wall. Right before Christmas, I was walking a big bag downstairs; I missed the last step and sent the bag swinging into the wall. I patched the drywall with spackle, and it looks OK.
- Repaint downstairs bathroom wall: Don’t want to get into details, but there was some damage to the paint in the downstairs bathroom, and I put the first coat down yesterday.
- Query letters: I have four or five out (with one insta-rejection); waiting to hear back on some of those before sending out a couple more. If these don’t pan out, then it’s back to the drawing board.
- Got pictures hung up: the ketubah from our wedding, and the new baby picture we got.
