highlyeccentricSomewhat better today. Overslept this morning, but ho hum.
Done today:
- ordered furniture from IKEA (second batch), and booked assembly for both batches. This took a long time, and will not eventuate until 20 May, because apparently everyone in Switzerland is refurbing their living space via ikea delivery right now.
- didn't die when i tallied up the total $ spent on furnishing this flat, although. o_0
- called parents, got them to agree to post my Box O Stuff on. Got general update - aside from being a bit lonely Ms10 is doing well, enjoying "home" schooling and insisting on minimal parent involvement therein. I have been sent a video of Peachie playing with a toy turtle.
- took the bin out, checked mail, have a mysterious letter about the water meters that I will figure out later
- ordered some coasters. In the absence of tasteful ones that match my desired aesthetic, i ordered amusing ones online. Three sets of. I will be FULLY PREPARED for a housewarming party of AT LEAST TEN PEOPLE come june
- did some more work on the Fiesole paper, and registered for conference
- made banana and coconut muffins
- grocery list and food-i-am-going-to-make list
- some more reading on American Chaucers. i'm into an interesting section about women lecturers / elocutionists on the public lecture circuit in the early 20th century
I probably only spent half an hour today being angry about Ill Informed COVID Takes (... people are REALLY resistant to the fact that evidence points away from children being vectors, because EVERYONE KNOWS children are germ factories).
Still haven't unpacked sewing machine or sewn masks.
Tomorrow. 9am PRIVATE german class. Unfortunately I have been assigned a teacher I don't much like. Groceries. More work.$
ed: forgot my greatest achievement today, which was: rearranged the bathroom so I can fit the spare towels in the cabinet, and thus freed up a tote bag. Oh, and I vacuumed.
