Why Are My "Days Off" Busier Than My Days "On"? LOL

Today is a "day off" and it's a super busy day. I have a 9:00 am appointment with my orthodontist for my next adjustment. I'm looking forward to it, but it's also a bit of a PITA because there's so much else to try to get done today. I also have an 11:00 am zoom call that I'd like to attend, I have to mail a Priority Mail package to a customer, and I have to squeeze in grocery shopping and laundry before chatting with Aearwen at 4:00 pm. I won't be bored, which probably is a good thing because, like many of you, I tend to munch when I'm bored. 

Being bored (which is pretty rare in my life) is never 
a good thing. That's when I tend to eat/munch by 
habit, not hunger. That's what will push my weight 
to the upper part of my range instead of allowing 
it to settle closer to where I'm comfortable. 

Since I'll have an adjustment to my braces, I probably won't feel like much of a lunch, so I guess that's a positive, in essence. I can always whip up a couple of eggs for lunch if I'm "dying" of hunger, but since I'm at a good weight, it's doubtful that skipping a meal would affect me much at all - LOL. 

I almost always pay my bills on-line, but there are a 
few institutions that require a paper check. Ugh! LOL 

By the way ... in case you were wondering ... we STILL 
don't have a functional land line (phone) at home. 
Supposedly that will be fixed on Thursday. We'll 
see if that actually happens. 

I have notes and bills all over my computer desk that need to be paid, and a repair for a customer which is stalling me out right now, but I'm going to try something new for the day with it, and see if that might do the trick. I'm trying to rescue all of her beads to reuse in the repair, but it may not be possible - glue had been used and I haven't found the correct solvent for it yet. I'm trying yet another solvent today. 

I have no idea what type of glue was used to 
glue the strands of beads into the end caps. I 
tried soaking it in pure acetone for 48 hours, 
but that didn't work (it works for most things, if 
you ever might need it). Today I'm trying 
something stronger - paint stripper. We'll see 
if that might work. 

So that's my crazy busy day today. I'm exhausted just reading about it - LOL. I'll be glad when 4:00 pm rolls around and I can just relax and chat with my long-time on-line friend again. I have a feeling I'll be needing that bit of relaxation - LOL. Have an excellent Wednesday, I'm off to the swimming pool to start my day on a good note. I'll be back tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
