For example:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>Checked off over 20 items on my task list\u2014usually these days I get through about 10 in a given day. (Most of today\u2019s items were either small things or incremental-progress-on-ongoing-projects things, but all of them were good things to get done.)<\/li>\r\n  <li>Prepared for cleaners, including getting enough stuff off the floor of half of my room that they could vacuum there. (Usually when the cleaners come, I just tell them not to clean my room.)<\/li>\r\n  <li>Dealt with an annoying customer service situation without getting too upset; got the situation resolved, and decided not to attempt to report the bug in the company\u2019s order form that led to the problem. (Because in my experience, most customer-service people don\u2019t understand the concept of reporting a bug, so my attempts to do that usually just make me more stressed.)<\/li>\r\n  <li>Successfully synced all of my mobile devices with my new computer. (The two iPads were easy, but the iPhone (which I keep a lot more stuff on, because it has more storage capacity) kept getting to the final waiting-for-items-to-copy step and then sitting at that step indefinitely\u2014a couple of times, I waited for about 12 hours for that step to finish before I gave up and canceled the sync. I ended up removing all the music and photos and syncing successfully; then gradually added stuff back in, syncing after each addition of a category of stuff; and I\u2019m now back to doing a full sync (currently in progress: \u201cCopying photo 183 of 34,785\u201d). Hoping that will work.)<\/li>\r\n  <li>Made my first attempt at making coconut rice in my rice cooker, more or less following an average of the three or four recipes I looked at online. (I say \u201crecipes,\u201d but they were very simple.) It came out not-bad, and I have ideas about how to improve it next time.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Had stalled about a week ago on the dealing-with-stacks-of-paper project; got moving again on that by dipping into the publications-to-read-and-decide-what-to-do-with stack. Made useful progress on that.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Of course I didn\u2019t get through <em>everything<\/em> on my task list for today, but I never expect to get through the whole list on a given day. It\u2019s more an aspirational list than a plausible one.<\/p>\r\n<p>Anyway, all very pleasing.<\/p>\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-19745","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\/19745","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=19745"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19745\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19746,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19745\/revisions\/19746"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
