Friday

And not just any Friday, but the Friday before "fall break"! Which means I had my choice of prime parking places this morning.

Saw one of the maintenance folks on my way up to the office. "Looking forward to your vacation?" they asked.

And we both laughed.

It's a bright and shiny day here in the neighborhood. I've got some errands to run around campus a little later, which will be pleasant. My desk is clear for the moment, though I expect to be doing some data entry a little later, when the mail hits. Otherwise, it looks to be a quiet day.

Which is fine.

I made my various to-do lists* yesterday and own myself a little intimated by the sheer mass of stuff that needs doing, on all fronts. I mean, really, some of these lists have sub-lists. To-do lists usually make me feel like an utter slug, just frittering time away instead of doing Needful Things, and this one's a doozy. Maybe if I do one thing from each section every day until, oh, 2015, I'll get it all finished?

It's a plan.

How do you manage your to-do lists? Who's caught up?

AKiCiF: Help Rolanni take care of her clothes

Quite some while ago, I took "Girl," which was at that point in history a required course, failed, and never retook it. Yes, I have lived most of my adult life with an Incomplete on my record, though in practical terms, it matters about as much as calculus, another skill I managed never to acquire. Mostly, I get along fine without both, but occasionally my lack of Feminine Wiles(tm) catches me up, as it has now.

I have purchased a very nice shirt to wear to the book launch (here's a picture). When it arrived, I tried it on, decided that I liked it very much, that it did fit, and hung it up on a hangar. It turns out that this is not how I ought to be treating this kind of fabric, but I'm at a loss as to what else to do. If I fold it up and put it away with my t-shirts, the tie is going to get crushed, and the whole thing will likely get crumpled, and -- sigh.

Suggestions on how to store this thing until its hour in the sun arrives -- and after, assuming the party falls (just a little) short of Inspiring the Bards?

Abundant Spanish Aunts.

Thank you!

Thanks to everyone who shared their expertise!

The shirt is resting quietly and I have high hopes for a complete recovery.
