To Do List
For no reason at all, here are the current contents of my to do list, as maintained in Palm Desktop, with commentary.
Backup Kaufman (Priority: Highest, Due: Jan 26) — I try to backup my laptop's hard drive, which is named after Charlie Kaufman, every two weeks. This is less often than it would ideally be backed up, but much more often than your average writer's computer, I'll wager.
Send DVD Player to Mom (Priority: Highest, Due: Unscheduled) — I promised to send our old DVD player to my mom and dad at Christmastime, and have no excuse for not having done it yet.
Get Replacement Shelf from Pop's (Priority: High, Due: Unscheduled) — We ordered our oak bookshelves from Pop's Unfinished Furniture, and when they came, one of the shelves had a mangled corner. We filed all of the necessary claims pretty much right away, but they have failed to uphold any reasonable measure of customer service in communicating with us on this matter.
Re-grout Shower (Priority: High, Due: Unscheduled) — The grout between the tiled wall and bathtub in our house's bathroom has been cracked since we moved in. I finally bought all of the necessary materials to get this done a few weekends ago, and at least that's progress.
Caulk Shower Faucet (Priority: High, Due: Unscheduled) — As above, but regarding the caulk that seals the place where the faucet meets the tile. Even less excuse here, since this is basically a five-minute job, as opposed to an afternoon-long job.
Wash/Clip/Advantage Abby (Priority: Medium, Due: Jan 11) — This refers to the bathing of the dog, the trimming of her nails, and the application of her anti-flea drops. We do this once a month. While she was bathed by the due date in question, her nails have not been clipped because it is a task that all three of us hate, and she has not been Advantaged because we have run out and haven't been to the pet store to buy more.
Buy Barricade Gel (Priority: Medium, Due: Unscheduled) — I put this one down on the to do list when the wildfires were raging. Barricade gel is a fire-retardant that you hose your house with when it looks like the fire's about to come burn it down. A full application looks like it will cost about three hundred bucks, but hey, that'll beat the hell out of having your house burn down, even if you're insured.
Assemble Emergency/Earthquake Kit (Priority: Medium, Due: Unscheduled) — This seemed like a logical thing to add back when I was adding the Barricade gel item. We have absolutely no excuse whatsoever for not having done this in the three and a half years since moving to California.
