I got started on the…

I got started on the read-aloud, and it's going well enough -- lots of tiny clean-ups, mostly cutting unnecessary words. My style errs on the side of minimalism. But I hadn't anticipated that one obstacle would be this cough that I still have; I'm having to take a lot of breaks even within chapters, or I end up coughing too hard. I've calculated that it'll be about eleven hours of reading aloud overall. This is going to spill over to Monday, I'm pretty sure. But I still have hopes that I can send the book out on Monday anyway.

Sunday:

• take more things over to house for storage, clearing Kavi's room - x
• print out Rasathi, read aloud, doing absolutely final edit - in progress; two chapters (9150 words) done
• post garden path blog entry- x

• straighten and sweep Kavi's room
• notify remaining grant applicant -- informal letter sent; formal letter waiting on response from colleagues
• figure out web page access for ASAM

• return Kevin's present that doesn't fit (shoes from Lands' End)
• return Kevin's present that was shipped in a ladies' size instead of men (texting gloves)
• drop off Samanthi's present if she's available

Monday:

• send Rasathi and proposals for books 2-3 to Bob to send out. Eep.
• prep for Tues classes
• pick up Synthroid
• order microwave (talk to Deb)
• look at stain samples for trim and floor
• call fridge people about replacing door
• review vent hood plan with Pam -- get pricing and into her schedule
• decide on fireplaces
• order storage piece for master bath -- waiting on Kev's decision (check with Pam re: swing of door)
• call about replacing broken Harmony needle (so I can get back to work on Kavi's owl sweater)
• take two bins in car and two toy boxes over to house for storage
