- Amazingly productive spurts of work from home while in PJs.
- No technical issues with VC'ing in to training events from home (this is a surprise).
- Was still able to answer a couple tickets even though not in the office.
- Finally bought a cutlery organizer!
- Stocked fridge with a bit more food.
- Made a pizza with caramelized onions, orange bell pepper, and goat cheese...mmm.
- Managed to fit everything in Dan's car to bring back to JC.
- King size sheet set and duvet cover don't look too ridiculous on our queen size bed.
- Color scheme of those bed linens matches my prized silk Turkish carpet quite well.
- Dan's grandma's lentil soup for dinner.
- Got in a good amount of unpacking, just craft supplies, random pantry stuff, and decorative stuff left.
- Finally got to watch Up, on Blu-ray, courtesy of Netflix and my mom's Blu-ray player.
- Made it from our apartment to pick up the car in Newark in less than an hour.
- Found the bag of sheets and duvet cover that I'd left behind in the move.
- Found an additional piece of furniture in the garage that my dad let me take, will be used for craft supplies storage.
- Found frozen food (chive patties) in the basement fridge.
- Cooked said patties (somewhat) successfully for the first time.
- Spent quality time with the kitty, even if she did also flinch and run away when I coughed.
- Our clients are the best: I told one of them I wouldn't take his ticket myself because I was probably going to go home early sick and he was totally understanding of it.
- People being very nice in general about me leaving work early to go home sick.
- Managed to still make the biweekly 1:1 with my manager by vc'ing from home.
- Bought the cutest vintage bird sewing caddy from Etsy, off a tip from Frecklewonder's blog. Look at the clever cute with the scissors!
- Though being sick is gross, Dan is here to take care of me and run out to get me tissues, cough drops, and ingredients to make chicken soup (I did still have to make it myself).
- Also, Friday night catching up on email/internet to-do's! It's always exciting in mi casa.
- Ran into KP at the PATH station--we're neighbors.
- Had plenty of time to fix up my presentation before sending it off to Legal.
- Lunch w/ BB & co., felt like it was the first time in awhile.
- Figuring out that the one call I got during my shift wasn't actually an issue directed at us.
- Sewing class: the work itself wasn't great, I think I might throw out the fabric for this skirt entire because it's so irritating to work with (you get what you pay for, etc.) but someone else managed to get far enough along that Jenny could demonstrate the rest of the steps and I think I could figure it out.
- Got home by 9:20 after leaving the class at 8 (back to my parents' = 10pm, maybe).
- Got to pick out today's outfit from clothes that were hanging up in my spacious closet.
- Found out the renter's insurance under MetLife can probably cover things that go outside of the apartment too, like laptop, jewelry (ring), and phone.
- Finished putting together the slides for a presentation just before the self-imposed deadline of noon (west coast morning).
- Pretty light afternoon overall, a nice breather, so left work a bit early and got home before 7.
- Unpacked and set up the kitchen a bit more, made our first dinner (soba noodles with spinach and poached eggs, my go-to easy weeknight meal).
- Finally got around to finding a new doctor. She does online appointment scheduling!
- With some finagling, copied all the info sent in for my Droid rebate onto one sheet of paper.
- The gentleman who received my call to ask about renter's insurance was very excited about it.
- Brought home the rest of the plates and such bought from the guy at work.
- Unpacked most of my clothes; going to leave the ones that have been packed for months in their plastic bins a little longer, though.
- Discovered we now own a potato masher and a baster, among other things in the kitchen implements bought from the guy at work.
