Quiet

It's very quiet here today. Not good. Not good because there's no work. No transcription work, that is. Sure, some may come in later, but it's been pretty quiet all week. I blame the holidays. But if it doesn't pick up again next week, I'll have to do something. Like start a Google adwords campaign.

It's also hot in here--79 degrees. And yet I haven't turned on the fan, let alone the airco. If I just sit here quietly, it's not uncomfortable. It's cooler outside, I could open a window. But then there's all those trees out there, with their allergens... Sigh.

I have played some solitaire today already, but at least some of it was by way of trying to figure out what chore I should tackle next. Of course, the rest of it was pure time-wasting. I'm going to have to stop beating myself up over this, maybe that'll free up my brain for other things. Like entering stuff into Quicken, at which I am terribly behind.

Mah jongg tonight--yay! Big question before that, though, is: do I do another round of laundry this afternoon or not? And, if yes, then should it be more towels or should it be blankets/sheets/the odd undies and socks? I hate having to make decisions.

Speaking of which, the one big thing I should do today is look at my brand-new IRA account and figure out where to invest it. I'm getting all sorts of advice on Echo, but not much specific. I think I'll have to browse around the Sharebuilder site and see if I can make heads or tails of it, at least enough to, yes, make a decision.
