nematome I spent most of the day today preparing food for the week. I ran to the grocery store for a few items with the main impetus for the trip being to buy Teriyaki sauce for the chicken tonight. I diced up celery, red peppers, scallions (putting aside some chives in the process), and tomatoes. I … Read more
We had an uneventful breakfast, and I got some house-cleaning and straightening done with Robert’s help. Vacuumed and mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors. He put some boxes out in the shed for me. We spent a little time looking up the program he needs to run the keyboarding lessons he bought, and eventually found … Read more
Sent a note to Woody right before leaving about the ISO auditing assignment. Need to start on rebranding my agent on Monday. Gave Susanne the Paris calendar I got for her for Christmas. She gave me two postcards from a collection of hers. Had lunch with Suzanne, and gave her her birthday gift. Always a … Read more
Love that date: 01/02/03 First day back to work was uneventful. Asked Mathis about applying for the HR Diversity position, and surprisingly, he said go for it. When I went to apply, I found the requisition closed already. Disappointing. I will apply for the ISO auditing position tomorrow or next week. Had lunch with Courtney … Read more
We got up at around 10 today, and had breakfast. Robert made eggs over easy, and we had them with waffles. Yum. He read The Zen of Oz for a while, and I surfed the web looking for two things, with no luck: 1) a “top 50” or “top 100 country hits of 2002” web … Read more
Slept in today. Went to Target and bought a bunch of organizing stuff — four big clear plastic bins and one very long green bin, some close-out holiday printer paper, a half-price tree skirt for next year, and Turbo Tax 2002 and ItsDeductible 2002. Once home, packed up the Christmas stuff, including the tree and … Read more
I spent almost the entire day today catching up my checking account and my two credit card accounts in Quicken. I’ve verified my capital gains situation and it’s in good order. I’m also ready for taxes now. Happy New Year! Tried the Coney Island Hot Dog place for dinner. Alright. Not great. Probably won’t return. … Read more
Spent most of the day packing up Christmas stuff and filing papers from 2002 in the new hanging folders I bought. Feel good about that! Tomorrow, I need to check my 2002 finances, specifically to see if I need to, for tax purposes, sell any stock at a loss before Tuesday to offset my IBM … Read more
Will called at around 11:00 asking if I’d be ready to go to the Goodwill place today. This got me motivated, and by 2:00, I had all my stuff together. He came over at 3:30, we packed my four boxes and the microwave into his SUV (along with the five big black garbage bags full … Read more
