Christine and i found a way to make going through our drifts of papers and receipts seem almost romantic yesterday evening. Lugging it all into the living room, spreading out in there, and putting on a mix of music was enough of a change of pace that it seemed special. Now, on to following up on the outstanding actions we found in those papers.

I haven't done anything towards re-membering or resume polishing. I did have a lovely offer from a friend to run some resumes by her friend. Despite my anger on Friday, it does seem getting my personal affairs in order after the intensity of past weeks is appropriate.

We stopped to eat and watch something: Netflix apparently put up a screen saying only a limited number of things were available to stream. We watched a PBS Mystery, instead. This morning Netflix is still the usual Netflix. I'm not sure when the day of splitting occurs, but i'll give them a little credit that it seems they've improved their outage handling. Too little too late, i suspect, for the exodus. I'm hoping we will be able to bring ourselves to cancel the streaming account.

I realize there is one more lost thing from this year: a plantronics bluetooth headset. I really like the attractive and comfortable Jabra stone with which i replaced it. Unfortunately, no one else does. Apparently the microphone quality is poor in the car. I've been using a wired headset with my laptop and landline for phone conferences: i'll just switch to that for the car, as well. I did try charging up a rather old Motorola headset. Now that i've found its manual, i'll try pairing it with my phone.

The remaining lost things are, though, really lost, i think. Not merely misplaced. On the other hand, that's what i had concluded about my Meeting notebook. There's still some chance that the plantronics headset will spill out from under something at some point.

Yesterday's e-mail brought some meeting contention to my attention. I am glad there areother clerks to follow up on that. Meanwhile, i know an active and elderly member of our community is in care somewhere and no one has been able to get news since Wednesday. I wonder if we are pressing the spouse and family too much with our attention: voicemail messages piling up and too much to deal with. I know how i could feel. I've tried to have one person be the point contact so we don't overwhelm the family.
