For the first time in what seems a long time I was able to get caught up on all my paperwork. My new office area and system worked well, except for the times when I popped up out of my chair to go to my filing cabinet that now sits right beside me. Although I don’t have any extra room for sorting papers on my desktop, the cutting table is within arm’s reach so I can sift through the piles as I need them.

I did a bit more shopping today. Before heading “up the lake” I wanted to get a set of jumper cables for the car. The car has been running fine, but I’ll be too far away for help should anything happen at the retreat. I also picked up a flashlight to keep in the car – the set of jumper cables I was going to buy had an LED light included with them but when Pat looked at the reviews that particular design was more expensive and had quite poor reviews. The set I purchased had good reviews, were cheaper, and came in their own little storage bag. Fingers crossed that I won’t have to use them (but I have the instructions on my iPad should the need arise).

Two films in the space of a day (one last night and one this afternoon) makes me think we’re back in film festival season. Last night’s movie was a one-time event and since I have a Guild demo tonight we had to go to the Cinematheque movie this afternoon.

I have a few more sewing things to pack up and then I’d better pack some clothes!
