ten things to do before midnight
posted by soe 1:14 am
Here are ten last things I’m hoping to cross off my to-do list before the calendar turns over, in no particular order:
Paint my nails something sparkly.
Finish reading and return my last overdue book to the library. (They’re closed and won’t know, but I will.)
Vacuum.
Make some year-end donations. (Done!)
Eat ice cream with Sarah.
Check in with my BFF.
Get a negative COVID result. (I was on a plane yesterday with a horde of unmasked travellers, after all.)
Take out the trash and the compost.
Put away the groceries.
Listen to new music.

this week’s to-do list
posted by soe 1:44 am
I’m not going to lie: this is going to be a busy week for those of who dwell in the Burrow. What am I hoping to get done, all before my annual tree-trimming party next Sunday, you ask?
Head back to D.C. from Connecticut
Learn how to use the 3D printer at the library’s maker lab
Play volleyball
Complete a couple of handmade gifts
Finish cleaning the Burrow
Kick off the Virtual Advent Tour
Tackle a couple cooking projects
Buy a Christmas tree
Have friends over for dinner and a game night (potentially)
Attend a seminar with tips for improving your job search
Grocery shop
Do laundry
Make a couple library runs
There are probably some other things that I’m forgetting, but that’s baker’s dozen list as I have it right now.
