To-Do

I need to clear space on my desk to set up my light table. This has resulted in the following list of accomplishments since the weekend:

• Currency-converting and filing business expense receipts for the last 7 months (because I had some tax-related paperwork that needed filing, and if I'm digging up Ye Tax Bindere I might as well do it all)
• Scanning one character's design materials and the design of the Terra Nova's engine room I drew up while thumbnailing (because I can't put them away until they're scanned; it's a Rule)
• Candying a batch of orange peel (because I have a bowl of mandarins on my desk for Healthy Snacks, and I save the peel, and I finished that bowl's worth which meant I had a batch's worth of peel, and that stuff doesn't keep forever)
• Making a big shopping trip to Aldi (because they have the best mandarins and I needed to refill the bowl)
• Packing away the extra flour and preserves I bought in anticipation of the pound tanking (because I was at Aldi anyway, why not)
• Reorganising the boxes under my bed (because these things have to go somewhere)
• Vacuuming under the bed (because – yikes)
• Vacuuming the corners of my room (because I had the vacuum up here anyway)
• Including the terrifying corner where Ye Tax Bindere lives in sin with piles of life drawing and oversize books, which needed organising anyway (nice bit of synergy with item no. 1 there)
• Going to Wilko to stock up on vitamins etc (for the aforementioned poundpocalypse)
• Making an appointment for a haircut tomorrow (because on the way to Wilko I walked past the hairdresser's for which I have a coupon, looked at their prices, made a big nope, and booked at the place where I got it cut before)
• Making an appointment to get topped up on some extra sleep-happy acupuncture (it's in the same neighbourhood as the hairdesser's)
• Emailing someone for character design advice (because the char design sketchbook told me to)

And yet my desk still is not clear. It is a mystery.
