I realized a few hours ago that it felt as though I had gotten a lot done today. Thinking about it, that's a combination of having spent most of the late morning and afternoon on those things, and I think that I did several things, in chunks large enough to feel like they count, yet small enough that none of them used the whole day, or even half of it.
Putting the electricity and natural gas for our new apartment into my name is two significant useful tasks done; it took maybe ten minutes, counting the time to write a reminder to take a photo ID to the Belmont Light office, and note their summer hours, closing early on Fridays. I like the idea of getting my electricity from a municipally owned utility, rather than Eversource or National Grid (or Puget Sound Energy, Consolidated Edison, or Northeast Utilities), even though this is also the first time I haven't been able to set up electrical service over the phone. (It's two tasks because having a gas stove means we will also be doing business with National Grid.)
Getting my hair cut didn't take very long, since I just told Taylor to do the same fairly simple thing as last time. Neither did going to the Davis Square farmers market after lunch, but I came home with strawberries, cucumbers, a Boston lettuce, and smoked fish pate, so that definitely feels like something accomplished.
Before all this, and after it, I finished editing and sent back another chapter of the book I'm working on.
And I did several of my PT-related exercises (and crunches, which aren't really part of my shoulder, hip, or knee physical therapy homework/maintenance, though the therapists I saw for the hip and knee were in favor of them).
