dchenesBack to the grind...I was a good kid and didn't even sniff at my work email for the three days I was off. So today I merely had 10 things added to my list from those three days: three meetings requiring invitations with Zoom links; one article to submit to the JDE, one to format for the JDE and one to proofread for the JMDS; one clinical faculty survey to proofread and test for functionality; one request for the current curriculum map; one request to order AV equipment from Amazon; and one request to advertise two seminars coming up at the end of the month. That'll do.
Too bad going through my email pretty much harshed all the mellow I had built up over the three days off. I really needed at least a week and the weekends at both ends of it, in retrospect, but there just isn't a good week for that until after Memorial Day. So at least I got my three days.
I also got my new mattress yesterday. Delivering the new one and removing the old one took about 20 minutes, and I was mightily impressed. Granted the delivery men were both 20 years younger and a foot taller than I am. The new mattress is very flat, compared to the old one that had a trench in the middle, but I slept just fine last night. Quirk is confused, because the old mattress and box spring were up on end in the bedroom to make room for the new ones, and the new ones don't feel like the old ones, so she isn't sleeping on the bed. I'm glad she didn't take advantage of the fact that she had a straight shot outdoors for a couple of minutes. I had shut her in here, but then opened the door to get cash to tip the delivery men, and didn't remember that the apartment door and the building front door were both still open. Fortunately she headed for the kitchen and stayed there.
The vet's office mailed some buprenorphine for Lily, for just in case, on March 31. It sat in the Natick post office for two days and then went to Nashua, NH, and came back to Brighton yesterday. Good thing it's only for just in case, because if I had needed it last week I would have been very upset. I have to go to the actual post office and sign for it. I went yesterday after the mattress delivery, but so did everybody else in Brighton, so I stood in an unmoving (but growing) line for 20 minutes and then decided to come back today instead. Hopefully everybody will have gotten their need for the post office out of their system today.
