Lone Man #5

How I kept myself busy today:

• Got up, read scriptures, got ready for the day.
  
• Went to the Post Office. Got Gas.
  
• Did a week's worth of dishes I've been putting off.
  
• Chop carrots for lunches and salads. Make lemonade.
  

  Aside: These small Kool-Aid packets were on sale, so we tried them. It feels wrong to need to pour 1 cup of sugar (or splenda) into a 2 quart "soft drink"....anyway

• Late breakfast of leftover blueberry pancakes.
  
• Hang up my suit coats I've left on the couch.
  
• Tried to renew vehicle registration online; realized I needed to get emissions.
  
• Read a few pages of Preventing Surprise Attacks while waiting for emissions test.
  
• Came home and renewed registration.
  
• Work on pre-registration stuff and pre-assessments (for school and stuff).
  
• Ate leftover breadsticks and tried canned Maryland crab soup for lunch (wasn't that great)
  
• Take out the trash.
  
• Go to the library and pick up a book for Jill.
  
• Unloaded the dishwasher
  
• Dealing with Twitter (Un)Support on a hacked account issue for one of my handles. It's incredibly hard to (1) get answers and (2) manage your personal data (ie, tweets) -- pondering closing them all down in a fit of frustration over data control / data liberation.
  
• Received 4 emails from the property management company for our apartment complex regarding service requests. Only problem: they weren't from me, and they were from 4 different complexes. Responded to each of them notifying their service center of the problem.
  
• Cooked dinner and cleaned up.
  
• GVidChat with Jill and CJ !
  
• Course planning and other prep
  
• Traveling salesman made the house smell like bad men's cologne; only had the door open for 15 seconds and had to run the a/c for about 20 to get rid of the headache. Good luck, guy...
  
• Read CJ her bedtime story
  
• Finalized course planning for the whole grad program. (Until I meet with my yet-to-be determined academic adviser, that is...)
  
• Spoke with Jill one more time
  

Didn't mean to have so many driving excursions, but hadn't planned on needing emissions (the e-mail renewal notification didn't tell me I needed emissions, so I only found out once I Notes found today -- (mushy/almost-TMI warning ;-) ) Pantry:
