**{{{swampy}}}** Everything went well at the eye doctor. I didn’t even have to have an injection! 🙂 I hit the Asian market for supper makings before my appointment (lemon ginger poke with asparagus and oyster mushrooms and half a Korean melon for dessert). Traffic wasn’t too bad on the way home. I got in between lunch rush and the afternoon wave. Studio time! ---

I gave up on the taxes for now. I have to be doing something wrong if I owe almost twice what I owed last year, or as my friend said, maybe I screwed up last year and owe them even more. I’m hungry, no dinner yet as I was too busy. I’ll eat something after irk is done. ---

I consider it a major accomplishment that I dragged my carcass out of bed this morning. I had no idea I was so tired, but I guess waking twice during the night will do that to a body. We’ve got us a chilly, dreary day here, so no yard work. I do have to run to Food Lion and the credit union, but I don’t plan to venture out beyond that. I’ll run a load of whites thru the laundry, too, and there’s a mess of flung kitteh litter that needs to be swept up - stoopit cats! Mostly, tho, not a lot going on. At least I don’t have to fret over a lunch decision - I have leftover sketties! 😃 I like leftover sketties. Yay! And that’s how we start a rainy spring day! Happy Wednesday! ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! _YAWN_ Up and caffeinatin’. 'Tis 68 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 89 for the day. This is a little unseasonably warm for this time of year. I don’t like that Ive had to turn the a/c on before May but a bear’s gotta be comfy, right? 😃 Ok, that’s all I got. Outside of irk, not much goin’ on. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands to be fed. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. Happy Hump Day Y’all! ---

OK, enough being a bum. I need to get out of my comfy robe and slippers and venture out into the rain to get my errands done. So quit distracting me! You people should be ashamed of yourselves, delaying my productivity like that!!! 😛 ---

Happy Hump day! It’s rainy and miserable outside. It’s chilly inside as well. I scrapped my taxes last night and started over. I don’t get it, if nothing changed much between last year and this year why do I owe almost double what I paid last year? If anything I have more deductions this year. So that is on the agenda for today, finish this up and do a line by line comparison with last years taxes. I have some ground beef thawing in the fridge that I have to do something with today. Either spaghetti or chili. ---
