Which has been really nice, but I\u2019ve done very little of what I planned to do with my time off.<\/p>\r\n<p>And that\u2019s fine; rest and relaxation are good. I don\u2019t <em>need<\/em> to be productive all the time.<\/p>\r\n<p>But even so, it does feel a little like the week slipped by without my noticing it.<\/p>\r\n<p>Things I had intended to do this week included:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>Make some progress sorting papers.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Work on a couple of lightweight coding projects.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Make some phone calls.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Do a bit of day-job work that I had said I would do by the end of the year. (I had even thought I might spend a whole workday on this, in which case I would unmark that day as a vacation day.)<\/li>\r\n  <li>Keep up with daily Duolingo, piano, guitar, and exercise.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Finish up my end-of-year donations.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Read a couple of books to reach a nice round number in my unread-books project.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Things I\u2019ve ended up doing included:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>Reading. (I did reach the hoped-for number, and continued on, so that\u2019s been nice.)<\/li>\r\n  <li>A little progress on donations. (I need to get the rest of them done today and tomorrow.)<\/li>\r\n  <li>Posting a bunch of stuff to social media. (This furthers my goal of reducing my vast backlog of links-to-post, but I could perhaps have done a little less of it.)<\/li>\r\n  <li>Keeping up with Duolingo. (Of the other daily items, I\u2019ve done piano practice most days (but not as regularly as usual), but very little of the guitar and exercise.)<\/li>\r\n  <li>Attending an online roundsing (which was, alas, plagued with technical difficulties) and an online concert.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Sleeping longer than usual. (Though also staying up later than usual, which I\u2019ll need to stop doing next week when I\u2019m back to having early-for-me morning meetings.)<\/li>\r\n  <li>Starting to put away some file folders. I felt good about that\u2014I\u2019ve had a few stacks of file folders waiting to be filed in my various filing cabinets for years, and I recently bought some hanging files to put them in, and the other day I finally put some of them in the hanging files and put the hanging files in the cabinets. Very satisfying.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>So I have been doing <em>some<\/em> stuff. But even so, there\u2019ve been a few days this week when I\u2019ve looked up and discovered that it was late afternoon and I had barely gotten started on my day.<\/p>\r\n<p>Plans for today include:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>Phone calls.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Pick up new glasses, if optometrist is open.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Finish donations.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Get through everything else on my to-do list for this week. :)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life-updates"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19637"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19637\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19638,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19637\/revisions\/19638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
