Spent the day communicating with people, mostly by email. Tidied the room for the housekeeper. Maryanne came by with her handwritten piece for the writers group. I had agreed to read it for her. Her vision is very bad and she has a lot of trouble reading her pieces, although they are well-written, detailed reminiscences. The prompt this week was “Freedom” and she wrote on the freedom of having gotten tenure as a teacher; how she was limited and constrained her first three years, then as a tenured (I didn’t know that high schools had such a thing as tenure) teacher she could bust out and teach Dickens and such classics her own way.
Composed emails to the people who are responsible for the boxes of stuff in the green room, proposing a meeting. I had a notion for how they could be better stored but I needed help. Later in the day, one of them, Donna, wrote back that in fact they had gotten a promise of a cage space in the basement for their stuff. That was very welcome news. More emails to try to make that happen.
Attended the Appreciation Fund meeting at 2pm. I had been asked to do what I did before, take an audio transcript, run it through an AI to generate meeting minutes. I did that; the newest version of Claude did a very nice job.
More emails to set up meetings with various people. Finally it was supper time and I decided to be a hermit, and had a sandwich and tea in my room.
