Our toilet has been malfunctioning for a couple of days: it rarely flushes properly when we use the handle (maybe 1 time in 10), and is running constantly. (This at least means that we aren't dealing with unpleasant or unsanitary overflows.) We left a note for the super yesterday; he called me about 9:30 this morning. Since I was already at work, I arranged for him to come tomorrow at 9 a.m. I then walked over to my boss, explained the situation, and before I could ask she told me to work at home tomorrow because my "productivity would be higher," presumably compared to, say, showing up at 11 if the plumbing didn't take long. So, I have both emailed myself the files and brought them home on a thumb drive (along with a few relevant photocopies).
When I got my most recent credit card bill, it showed that Delta had refunded the change fee they should never have charged us. Since Mom paid for my tickets, including that added charge, I emailed her to say we had a refund. She asked me to put it in her New York checking account. So I wrote a check for $250 to my mother, turned it over, wrote "For Deposit Only" on the back (that always reminds me of my grandfather, who wrote that on every birthday check he mailed any of us), signed my name, put the account number on it, and filled out a deposit slip. This is a joint account (though I almost never use it; she set it up that way so I could do banking stuff for her), so this isn't actually unreasonable, but it feels a little odd to write a check to someone else, then turn it over and endorse it myself. Even though I suspect I could have signed it "John Wilkes Booth" and nobody would have noticed.
After work, I went to the gym: a shorter workout than often, but varied.
( cut to avoid boredom )
Also, I got email this evening saying I won the auction for those hand-knit socks.
