House-sitting and other notes.

I’ve been house-sitting for most of the past week; given that there are no pets in said house, it’s pretty light duty all things considered. It took me about a day and a half to get over the I’m in someone else’s house all alone wrongness sensation, and am now settled in quite comfortably just in time for the proper residents to return and my own voyage to the other side of the continent.
Is it possible to be allergic to sunlight? I don’t seem to do very well on bright, warm days if I spent any extended period outside.

I got a slightly unquiet e-mail from my department secretary today, asking for a bunch of documents relating to renewing my work visa. Guess I forgot to notify the proper Powers That Be in the Urban Commuter College’s System that I am, in fact, a more-or-less documented citizen of the country now. Oops…
What lese has been going on? Certainly not work; I’ve got a pretty minimal requirement of What Must Be Done by, say, Wednesday and the flight out West: one paper needs to be fleshed out and rationalized. And hopefully, that’s what’s happening tomorrow.
