Trying to Care

Having a little trouble with that this week. I made massive (radical) changes to the 'Nut campaigns late last week and now all I can do is bite my nails and wait for data to accumulate.

As NewBoss Anais reminded me a few minutes ago, there's one part of month-end reporting I forgot to do last week. I'm going to start on it in a minute, but thought I'd catch up on my blogging first.

This past weekend was adventure-free. That's good and bad, I guess.

I worked on the storage project (Boxes-To-Buckets - I'm dumping all of those decaying cardboard boxes in favor of keeping the books I have in storage in cleaner plastic buckets and yes I know plastic kills the planet but I am childless, so I've already done Mother Earth a big favor in this lifetime) on Saturday and went to Target to buy some shampoo, then to JoAnne's to buy some thread. Whoopee!

This week I've been thinking about weekends. Now that I'm securely medicated to overcome my slacker thyroid's disinclination to produce, I've decided that it's time to Do Things on the weekends. Shopping has, for me, a limited amusement value. If I need something, then I'm interested in shopping, but window shopping--shopping just to pass time, is not amusing. I am old and don't have that much time left.*

This city is full of museums and parks and oddball little neighborhoods and whatnot. I've decided that it's time to start becoming acquainted with some of them.

The Tut exhibition is, IIRC, the first time I've been in a museum here in two years. Downright embarrassing. I can't even remember the last time I went to a movie, even though I like going to movies. I think it was that ridiculous Sherlock Holmes mess I saw on New Year's Day.

I am making a list. Places to go and things to do. (I'm big on making lists. Not so good at the follow-through.)

I'd like to tour the Governor's mansion but that only happens on Tuesdays. Sigh. I want to go to the Molly Brown house and I haven't been to the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys in years.**

Ditto for the Colorado History Museum, but they closed it. (Not permanently--they're moving to a new facility. I'll miss that old building.) It might sound odd but I think the Denver Firefighters Museum could be interesting.

And tea! I haven't been out for afternoon tea in ages. I'd like to try Wystone's or House of Commons. (I think I've been to House of Commons, but not for several years.)

Sigh. I'd better go do some work.
