Signed in to tax software and okayed all the autofilled items from last year. Tracked down a little income that I didn’t have in my tax folder. Logged in to Social Security and copied down the 1099 info (also not in my tax folder  ).

 Good morning, Andrea! It’s good to see you again! Started a load of towels. Had meds and made bed. Put away suitcase from trip. This takes more time and coordination than you’d think.  Do taxes. Decide on and communicate insurance decision. Wash dishes.

Took care of auto insurance changes. Filed taxes after finally getting out of a loop I didn’t understand. Took a headache pill, talked with family, and did some deep breathing to recover. Put away dishes. Go for a short walk. Write a summary of things to remember for next year’s taxes (navigating the software) and file it.

Good Day goldenthreads, You got a lot done yesterday! Hi CourageouslyLion SeeksSerenityta-da: Not much. We had a huge wind storm blow through our area yesterday afternoon. It took out our power. We are on generator power at the moment, but that doesn't power everything and I never seem to feel as productive when the power is out. We just got a call from the power company that they expect our power to be restored in about 6 hours. Meds to cat Ate some nuts Sent some texts about power outage to-do: Send out an email for church Prepare for leading CLA meeting this evening Do a bit of decluttering Eat something else? |

I will learn to use this tablet, I will learn to use this tablet. I miss the laptop. I touch an area I shouldn’t, and weird things happen. This morning, I buried a show somehow, and could not find it to turn it off. The display was bizarre. I managed to find and kill it after several minutes. Just now, I highlighted an entire page instead of selected text, despite repeated slow and careful attempts. Grouse, grouse, grouse. Thanks, CourageouslyLion SeeksSerenity! I know you’re with me on frustration with forms. The tax story is too boring to tell, but my head felt like it was swelling. The solution was not intuitive, thus the need to document for next year. Hello, BetsyMarie. I take about 10 seconds to make my bed. The blanket, if it’s on, is roughly smoothed  , and then I use excellent athletic form to get the comforter to cover it all in one motion. If anything sticks out, I tuck it in. I’m here to say this qualifies as making the bed. No top sheet + a duvet, European style, changed my sour attitude about making the bed. Ally May the power be with you soon! Canceled two streaming services for annual savings of $235. I enjoyed them, but didn’t choose to watch very often. Had meds and made bed. Folded towels and put them away. Same as last night. |

goldenthreads, Good luck with your tablet. I hope things start to go more smoothly! My power is back!!! About bed-making: Goldenthreads, I have been often doing similar to as you describe, although I recently heard an allergist say that it was better to leave the bed unmade so it can air-out. The moisture trapped under the blankets causes the dust-mites to thrive apparently. ta-da: CLA meeting this morning Went out to give the chickens some snacks, but discovered that their automatic door was stuck closed. I had to use a screwdriver to open it. RSVP'd to two events taking place in about 6 weeks (birthday party, and bridal shower) to-do: I go back to work tomorrow, and need to be there a little early so I need to prepare as much as possible so I can get up and go in the morning. Pack up food for meals and clothing for event I am attending right after work. Prep for meeting that I will lead this evening. Continue to declutter, Do dishes Look at bridal shower registry and also garden supplies? Shower in about 2-3 hours

Luckily, we have very few if any dust mites here. It’s too dry. I do wait a couple of hours to make the bed. Started dishes soaking. E-signed the insurance form. Washed dishes. Plan meals.Work on clearing the sofa.
Go to library. Get gas. The indicator is much less obvious on this car, and I’m afraid of forgetting. Maybe there would be an alert? |
