Here's what I've done since awakening at 8:15 this morning (it's now 3:16 –hi John!)
Fed babykins a million times
Put the toddler in the bathtub after he used a dry-erase marker to color himself green from his toes to mid-shin
Written a refund-request letter I've been meaning to write since November
Contacted my local copy shop about a proof
Investigated Google analytics for a client
Scrubbed a mailing-list database
Edited the introductory letter for a press release
Scheduled one press release to go out on Monday
Scheduled another press release to go out on Tuesday
Confirmed with one client he wants his PR to go out on Tuesday
Spoken with the pharmacist about the ramifications of leaving the toddler's ear-infection medicine on the counter overnight
Spoken with the health center about whether the toddler's currently explosive diarrhea is due to his ear-infection medicine
Consulted with the doctor as to whether we should change the toddler's ear-infection prescription
Futilely urged Monstro to go see Yusef Komunyakaa read at UMass tonight
Showered
Helped my best Northampton friends rid my home of all non-money recycling
Watched Susan Boyle on YouTube — justified because one of the aforementioned friends hadn't seen the clip yet
Listened to Susan Boyle sing “Cry Me A River” on a different YouTube clip
Gone to the post office to send the aforementioned refund letter certified mail with a return receipt
Gone to the bank to deposit a check and get some cash to convert into laundry quarters
Folded a bin's worth of laundry
Gone to the grocery store for $116 worth of groceries that would have cost me $160 at another store, plus I was able to buy the good local microbrew sampler at this store — those in California will laugh their butts off to learn that one cannot buy beer at all grocery stores here
Dropped off the old bottle of ear-infection medicine at the pharmacy, to get a new bottle
Gone to the pharmacy for baby supplies, cold medicine, ear-infection medicine, and birth control
Blogged
Confirmed that the press release for Tuesday will indeed go out on Tuesday
No wonder I was awake between 3:00 and 4:30 this morning, fretting about everything I needed to do today!
Whew! Im tired just reading your list! And whats up with the beer thing. I thought MA was more liberal than TX, GA, etc. is it only a certain grocery chain? There is one in TX that wont sell alcohol even on the days it is allowed to do so. Love Katherine
Yeah, I don't know what's up with the beer thing. There was a measure on the ballot a couple of years ago that would have given cities/towns the right to vote in more liquor licenses and it was voted *against*. I truly do live in bizzaro-world. If you come to visit we will be sure to only take you to the grocery stores that sell liquor. Wait, make that, the grocery *store* that sells liquor. 'Cause there's only one. Crazy.
