Hooray for holiday Mondays

lmkNick and I both had off work today, so I spent some time today on the continuing quest to clean up the cruft in the house. I have made some progress. I have to remind myself of that, because it really doesn't feel like I'm getting anywhere. That's because there are still the same number of boxes sitting in my office waiting to be unpacked. It's just that several of the boxes are noticeably less full.
As part of regular maintenance, I went and tried to run the portable generator today (it's supposed to be run every ~6 weeks for a few minutes). I failed to start it and injured my wrist in the process. Ooops. Now I don't know what to do. I'm so glad we're planning on moving to a whole-home generator that starts itself. Now if only our electrical upgrade permit would come through, so we could actually do that....
I thought I had to go up to Maine on Wednesday to meet a contractor. Hooray, it turns out I don't, I just have to tell him where the spare key is hidden so he can get in and he's willing to do it over the phone. Of course, I put in for the day off work on Wednesday, so now the question becomes do I tell work I don't actually need the day off, or do I take the extra day and spend it cleaning house? Decisions, decisions....
I think I am going to plan to go to the Saturday of Boskone. That lets me participate with minimal planning and commitment, and a full day of recovery before I have to go back to work.
