I was able to work on chores today. It's amazing how it can sometimes feel like a luxury to have time time to do them. For the most part though, they were boring chores. I did make some raspberry jam, although it didn't seem to be setting very well. Oh well, I'll use it like jam anyway. My to do list has gotten slightly smaller, but there are still a lot of things on the "this is important to do soon" list.
I put the baby gate back up today. After asking people multiple times to please take stuff downstairs and put it away and everyone, including myself, 95% ignoring me, I put it up as a reminder barrier. It has an aggressive sign that says "BRING SOMETHING DOWNSTAIRS." It's been amazing in the four hours it's been up - about a third of the stuff has been brought down.
I also got a jury summons for next month. Of course. It's been a crazy week so let's just add that on top of it. I asked for a deferral until December and they granted it. I know December is often busy too, but teaching wise it's easier to hand off to someone else. Don't worry - I'll complain if I get called on a week I didn't want to be called on. (The first week of December would actually work really well.)
