Hit Bottom

Yesterday was another disastrous day. But it had one upside: I think we've now successfully hit the bottom and can start climbing back up.

The purchase of the birthday present is now done: we were able to get some direct feedback from the recipient which meant that we went from having a bunch of not-very-satisfactory options to having one solid choice. From there, it was just a matter of placing an order.

The issue with the wall switch has also been dealt with, thanks to a timely intervention by my father-in-law. My own efforts to resolve it were stalled out by a combination of bad light, sticky screws, and a lack of space in which to work. But, thankfully, it's now done.

And I managed also to get the church website updated, which needed to be done yesterday because it included events happening today.

The upshot of all of that is that there aren't any urgent tasks looming large any more, just a number of things that can be dealt with when time permits.

Of course, there's now all the fallout from the past eight days to deal with - as I said, it has been fairly disastrous. And much of the fault there is mine.
