Wow, what a day! I have made it through another really tough day. Er…
Ok, so it wasn’t all that tough a day. And I did almost nothing. Go me. What the fuck is going on with me?
I guess I am just in one of those cycles where I am feeling really unmovitvated or really overwhelmed. Or maybe both at the same time. Yes, I took a few baby steps forward today. Ok, maybe one or two baby steps. But nothing that really felt like I was moving towards any recognizable goal.
What did I do? I took a shower. That’s a good thing. And I ate some lunch. Woo hoo. Oh, I took a pair of chicken wings out of the freezer so that I can make buffalo wings for dinner with my frozen pizza tonight
I did do something for JC and EC. I called a moving company the CC had found, based out of Rochester, which gives free estimates. But in order to do that, they request a walk through with a phone that can stream video (which is most modern phones I think). So I called them, then called JC and talked about availability. And then called the moving company people again to set up an appointment for Monday. I will head down to their house and do the walkthrough with/for EC and JC.
A small task, but one I put in my phone to do, was to get the charging cable out of the car and bring it into the house where it could warm up before I re-rolled it and put it back in its case. Woo hoo!
In neatening up my room yesterday, I also started to try to move forward on the picture sorting and scanning that I have been doing. I found pictures from a roll of film from early in my time here in Geneva this last time – from around 2011 I think. Unfortunately WalMart did not time stamp either the pictures or the thumbnails. And of course, I made no notes on the envelope. Grrrr.
I had a realization or two. And a political thought or two – see below in the Augustus for President section for the thoughts.
The realization I had was that I could, if I wanted, go to two trivias a week for the month of January. I probably won’t do that, but I might go to the Wednesday night one a couple of times. And maybe the Thursday night one a couple of times. We shall see.
The other realization isn’t so much a realization but an awareness that I might be able to do some more things to aid me in keeping myself young and spry. Thank you YouTube for lots of interesting information.
And that, my friends is about it. That is what I did with my day. Not so much, sadly.
Augustus for President: I am still stuck in a couple of places. This morning I had planned to file my paperwork for becoming an official candidate for president with the FEC. I had hard copies of the forms and filled those out to the best of my ability. But I had and have questions. I thought that maybe the FEC wouldn’t be working today, so I have put calling them off until Monday, when I will hope to file – probably electronically. I don’t think there is a fee.
The other place I am stuck is on the whole business end. I know I need a credit card for the campaign. A debit card won’t cut it just as the only money in the campaign is my own personal funds. And I need an accounting application as the FEC is much more rigorous in keeping track of campaign funds than I am with keeping track of my own funds. I am trying to decide between a regular accounting system like Quickbooks and one that is designed and tailored more specifically towards campaigns. And my mind whirls.
