Summertime!!!
School officially ended today, huzzah!
I'm off to a wedding in Ithaca for the first half of next week, but then there's a chunk of ~1.5 weeks before the trip to China. Didn't sign Miss Rutabaga up for any summer camps this year, so we'll see how those weeks go -- we might do some lazing around the house and some trips to the library, we'll see.
After over 5 months of searching, spouse has finally gotten a hopeful nibble on a job lead! (As in, he's talked to 3 of the 4 people in the company, to much positive feelings). So it might be that he'll have a job again by the end of the summer! I'm really proud of him -- it's hard to stay motivated when searching for a job, and he did so very admirably.
This is the time of year where I pick up all the things that I've let fall by the wayside during the final sprint of the school year (trips + end of year stuff). There's more stuff that fell by the wayside this year, mostly due to the months-long Batfam fic hole that I fell into, but I feel like I'm finally at a point where the compulsion to shove words into my eyes at every spare moment is somewhat slackening. Whew! I plan to make a second fic rec post and hopefully ease off of reading new fics and just read the fics that pop into my email inbox from the various author subscriptions. (aka the normal, sustainable pace).
Anyway, a to-do list for the next week+!
Today/this weekend:
- mail out Sunflower comics anthology
- write Chinese School checks and mail them out (Sunday??)
-schedule a Chevy dealership appointment???
-call Alaska and double-check airline seating??? did it online!!
- clean out car
- tidy up Miss Rutabaga's work from this school year and put it away
- write WASC check??? And maybe look up state life insurance??
-make tote bag print for my knitting apsaras?
After the wedding:
- get car wifi sorted out at dealership
- tidy up/organize house
- write/draw July 4th comic
- get info for upgrading our back patio doors
