not so quiet this week....
Jul. 11th, 2025 05:51 pmnothing unexpected, just a lot of it.
- finished the "solo" portion of the basement reorg. BC and I still need to get downstairs and go through things in the fireproof cabinets so that the files that need to go into them will fit. and if not? Order another fireproof cabinet. (State law says that there are some things that must be kept "permanently", so they need fireproof cabinets. Other things only need to be kept for 7 years, and BC thinks that there's a lot of 7 year stuff that can be disposed of (via the shredder, natch).) All of the maps I could corral are in the Zoning/Assessor room, and are now their problem. The old computers are in the BBO space, and the IT guy knows both that they are there and that they are his responsibility. There is still some election stuff in the shed, but that's where it belongs....
- did my 5 minute training for taking tax and utility (sewer) payments. Treasurer will only be gone one working day, so she will do the actual deposits when she gets back.
- had two concerts, one in Howell and one in Farmington. Farmington's summer repertoire is about the level of Livingston's regular season, but they were both a lot of work. And of course, both on work nights, so I'd already spent a few hours of the day either working in the "sauna" (storage shed at 95F 95% humidity) or the damp 70F basement. There was a FCB gathering at the ice cream shop after the concert, but by the time J and I and the rest of the crew had everything packed (an hour after the concert was over), I just wanted to go home.
- took a long time Wednesday to run errands, much longer than usual. There were a couple of extra stops, true, but still....
On Tuesday, Sup asked BC and I if we wanted any tomato plants, as she had some extras. BC said she'd take a couple, and I said I'd take a cherry tomato plant. Sup came in on Thursday with six! plants. so now I have to figure out where to put four tomato plants. I'd put them in the new strawberry bed, but they won't be done bearing when I need to move the strawberries. Maybe I'll go digging through the shed here (not nearly as hot as the one at work!) and see if I can find a couple of big planters. And if not? The home improvement store isn't that far away.
The hummingbird feeder in the front garden is very popular. I don't see hummers at it very often, but they empty it in a couple of days. (The feeder is below window level, so I don't see them fly up to it. I do occasionally see dogfights, as one defends "his" feeder.)
