#1 - A roommate from college called unexpectedly because she wanted to do a quiet writing retreat this weekend and she wondered about options. #2 - Of course I jumped in on research and suggestions, this is definitely up my alley! I was also grateful to talk with her and hear what inspired this.
#3 - I bought some curtains at the thrift store, but they are a bit long with my baseboard heaters. I emailed a friend's mom to ask if she had a sewing machine last week. She did and said she could hem them. I dropped them off last Friday and said, "no hurry". I bought blackout blinds for my bedroom because of the exterior lights, however I didn't get them quite wide enough to block the light that seeps in the sides and it has been annoying me for months, though I always forget this during the day.
Anyway, she said they are already done! I don't even have a curtain rod yet.
#4 - One of my co-workers had a back surgery recently. I volunteered to do the home visits for one of her family's if it wasn't too far away and it fit my schedule. Today her manager sent me a couple options and I picked one that will be less than a 15 minute drive, so I'm glad to be able to help out.
#5 - I've had fungus gnats on a couple of my plants that have really started driving me nuts. I've had sticky pads on the soil for a while which has been killing some, but not taking care of the problem. I bought some "neem oil" spray and did a couple more things today to take the situation a bit more seriously and hopefully make a dent in the proliferation.
