My plan for today was to do a couple of quick things that resulted from the Board meeting last night, get a deposit ready, and head out for a few errands – the bottle and recycle depot as well as get some gas. Then I remembered that I had to do the cleaning at the Hall for awhile (our regular cleaner is having surgery), but if there wasn’t anything in the Hall over the weekend it could wait until Monday. As luck would have it there is an event there on Sunday so I’ll do my running around and cleaning tomorrow. Those full days at home are so hard to come by!

First on my “quick list” was changing a wrong mailing address with Revenue Canada. I spoke to someone who couldn’t change it because I wasn’t on the list of Directors that she had. I had our last filing in front of me but she didn’t and wouldn’t budge on making the change. I demanded (yes, I had to demand) to speak to someone higher up who would have access to our latest records and I finally got someone who could help me. Sorting it all out took a long time, but hopefully the address has been changed in all the right places.

The deposit was quite quick, as were the other items on my list. I had barely moved on to something else (shredding more paper) when the phone rang and someone wanted to drop off money for Sunday’s Hall rental; it was either redo my deposit or create a new one so now I have two deposits to make tomorrow. I have to let the renter into the Hall (and check her out) on Sunday afternoon; I’ll stay for at least part of her event and then go back to the Hall, do the cleaning for next week and lock up.

I was ready to do a bit of sewing by the time lunch was over. I put the binding on my card, as well as the binding on the quilt that I used as practice with the long-arm. Both are ready for some hand stitching so I’ll do that until it is time to get ready for the Guild meeting tonight.
