General status report.
I managed to coordinate multiple recipes tonight - timing cooking dinner against the first long rise of the bread, letting the chicken simmer while I prepared the loaves for the second rise, and finishing everything up at its own pace. Both of them came out lovely, and tomorrow, I might do something similar, assuming I find another bread recipe that allows for long periods of waiting for the next step.
Last Friday at work, one of the big phases of the records project ended when the external consultants finished scanning the records. We didn't have the capability to do the full extent of the necessary scanning ourselves, so we got a couple of contractors to come in the last two weeks' Thursdays and Fridays, and they managed to finish around lunchtime Friday. They're sort of why I have managerial experience on my CV now: I had to train a couple of people to help me finish collating the records before the contractors left and took their scanner with them. It's taking some time to sink in I'll be doing something else come Tuesday - Monday I have off for the first day of Sukkot, which is why I might have the time for proper yeast bread tomorrow. It's something that calls for a dedicated afternoon or evening.
That said, with the crunch time past me and a little more breathing room opening up, I should have an easier time managing my sleep schedule. And getting back to cover letters, and hopefully, some more writing.
