My agenda:
- Pay my rent. (Since the bank will be closed on Friday and I get paid on Thursday.) [Well, I got my money order but will pay it when they're in the office and can give me a proper receipt.]
- Go over to a friend's and watch Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on DVD (I haven't seen it yet.) [That I did, and enjoyed it thoroughly.]
- Come home before dark. [It was after dark, but not too late.]
- Do laundry. [That'll have to wait for Saturday.]
- Work on notes. [I crashed due to the insomnia the night before.]
- Watch the ball drop in New York on TV. [I woke up just in time to see the new year's sign light up after the ball got to the bottom.]
- Wish some friends Happy New Year. [That I managed to do, although I was freaking over not getting things done, so I think they were amused.]
- Sleep. [Yes, although not enough to fully catch up.]
On New Year's Day itself:
- Sleep in a bit. [Yes.]
- Work on notes. [Yes--that night, not during the day as I'd planned.]
- Clean up the kitchen and take out the trash. [Hah! That'll have to wait until Saturday evening.]
- Listen to U2's 'New Year's Day' on YouTube [and probably 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' just because I like classic U2]. [Indeed.]
- Go nowhere until work. (The buses don't run that day.) [True.]
- Work at double-time pay that evening. [Plus 1 1/2 extra hours.]
On Saturday:
- Work early.
- Do a quick straightening up and maybe wipe down the bathroom (there's a little soap scum on the sink under the dispenser).
- Clean out some of the duckweed in the aquarium and add some water.
- Relax since the notes will be finished.
- Go to bed early to get up for the game.
On Sunday:
- Prepare for game.
- Play game.
On Monday, things will return to normal and it's back to the hospital, but in a new (and hopefully more promising) year.
