Sent a letter to a student whose e-mail account had stopped working. Prepared old floppy disks for destruction (actually, secure recycling). Prepared info for a student to add names to a listserv. Linkchecking. Lunch with Joel at Cybelle's: salad and pepperoni pizza for him, chicken on dutch crunch roll with seasoned steak fries for me. Scanned photos and retrieved admissions documents for Cindy. Computer requirements web pages. Cable management for James. At home: moved the car, did paperwork—checked on my tax refund and payments, organized receipts, took care of snail mail, paid rent, deposited a check. Determined that our purchase of Ecco Mist air freshener on October 26, 2003 has lasted 6 months and cost us less than 13.9 cents per day. We ordered 4 bottles from mothernature.com at $6.26 per 8-ounce bottle, and now they're almost all gone. We like them because they smell great, they're all natural and non-aerosol, and since they use aluminum bottles, I think they can even be recycled (though I'm not certain how to confirm that). Dinner at home by myself: chicken and rice canned soup with oyster crackers. Easter candy from Joel for dessert. Let Chris De Lay borrow an article from our GL and R magazine.
