Surprisenly cool this morning. Please let it stay cool through the weekend.
Home today just chillin with my boy Louie.
Please tell me I will not be required to talk like someone out of the cast of 90210…
Gag me with a spoon…
That’s the only ValSpeak I know.
Fa’Shure.
On an unrelated note I started my Thursday shooting today (target not psychopathic) and hope to get back to it better than I managed last year. Wednesdays would be better for me but -------- the usual gang of suspects are Thursdays and I like the company.
Today we get to go visit the tax preparers. Our taxes are complicated. I used to do them myself but Wifey made me quit. Said all the cussing was getting on her nerves. I said everybody needs a hobby. Anyway, we both need to go along to sign things. Maybe there’ll be lunch. 
Me too. I haven’t been to the range in a couple of months. 
Of course the folks at the range are mostly a bunch of right wingers, but we don’t talk politics and get along just fine.
I went to my tax guy yesterday. Trump seems to have done me a favour, though I’m sure he didn’t mean to. Last year I owed $2,125 to the IRS. This year it looks like I only owe a bit more than $1,300. (California was $354, and I think it’s about the same this year.)
We’ll be meeting our accountant tomorrow. We got a chunk back from the Feds, but not enough to offset what we owe the state. Dammit.
We’re getting money back from both, and I’ll stick it into the IRA.
having a argument with my elderly cat …. ok since the car was totaled we’ve been going to Walmart for shopping well MS. cat has decided she’s tired of the flavors of the house brand and has been stomping around meowing for all week off and on when she remembers she’s mad about it
its sort of cute tho she stomped to the back bedroom which she never goes to and meowed like it was important and I was implored to see what was the matter I thought it was empty since we have one of the self feeders nope she growled at the food and looked at me like " ok humans we had this discussion already you were supposed it get it changed so why isn’t it ?
she’s 17 barley gets around and is well in the twilight years how ever we still half about a quarter of a bag … “grandma” says there finishing the bag whether she likes it or not ……
Actually this has been a mostly pleasant week as my nephew has been home and we’ve played ad&D more than I thought we would and younger nephew isn’t here to have head up grandmas rear too much…
next week will be back to normal…
Howdy Y’all! I procured provisions and then went to Sam’s to purchase stuff for the church and took it all over there. Whilst there I think I managed to piss of church ladies. Beyond pickin’ up the bed I mentioned earlier (doin’ it tomorrow instead of today cause the help I thought I had today couldn’t but can tomorrow) I have nuttin’ to do with the yahd sale. A couple of the wimmen there thought I would come in and move stuff around “since I was there.” I said no. Politely, mind you, but I said no. I had other stuff to do. OK, that other stuff was mostly sloth off at da cave, but still, that’s what I had planned. Oh and the Rachels I mentioned in my last post mysteriously turned into chili/cheese/slaw dawgs and fries for sup. 
Grody to the max?
Slow down doggio!
sari, it sounds like Ripple had fun. When Nelson gets a good romp at the dog park, he’s a tired pupper.
I need to go get taxes done. Usually my irkplace sponsors the tax bus and takes care of it gratis. This year, I have to strike it alone.
I irked over again today. I’ve put 20 hours in chasing our cycle counters’ screw ups this week. A week, I might add, that I had more crap on my plate for month end than usual. One of our new guys is working out, but the other one is a flake. When they screw up, I have to put more effort in tracking it down than I would researching and reconciling a count that didn’t have to be done over. :smack:
My boss saw that I was getting a little irritated this morning when I went to refill the paper on the printer. I found four empty paper wrappers in an otherwise empty box, a half a ream loose and a half a ream in another wrapper. This machine takes full reams very well, so there’s no reason to not fill it. The waste basket is right beside the printer, so no reason to leave wrappers. I think she saw that I was tired of being the mom to a bunch of grown ass people. 
I’s tahred. Time to chill.
**Red **- I know what you mean about printer paper. What earthly reason would one have for not putting a full ream into the drawer? And how hard is it to put trash in the trash can?? I get the added irritant of maintaining the paper supply.
Most of the paper is stored in the room next to the receptionist, which makes sense since that’s where the copier lives, as well as a printer. Our printer is near our offices, which also makes sense, and there’s sufficient room there to have a couple of boxes of paper on the floor next to the printer. But when someone takes the last ream out, do they go to the supply room and get more?? Of course they don’t. I have asked some of the young 'uns to fetch some, in the hopes that they’ll learn.
Got my car back to the tune of just over $900. Then I had to fill it - that was another $40+. What do I care? Disposable income? It’s disposed of before I get any…
Still, the maintenance costs of the car are still far less than ongoing car payments. So there’s that.
Time for some knittage.
reminder to never invite swampy to the swap meet check …
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work.
Woke around 4. Bleach. I’ve been playing with my tablet for the last hours or so. Time to get up, I guess.
Happy Firday!!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 46 Amurrkin out and dark (TWPTB say clear) with a predicted high of 77 and partly cloudy (mostly N.O.S.?) for the day. The biggest plan of the day is to get that bed over to the church house later this mornin’. Beyond that, I foresee sloth the rest of the day. Sup shall be Rachels for sure, with oven fries. Tomorrow mornin’ the mowin’ crews shall meet over to the church house. We have a couple of new members. YAY! The back forty gets mowed which won’t interfere with the yahd sale since that area is way away from where that will happen. Have I mentioned that as [del]church janitor[/del] Junior Warden, I have declared a irk day (an irk day?) on April 6th? ‘Twill be a purty up the grounds day with hedge trimmin’, spreadin’ pine straw, and other chores. One chore shall be to put two benches together, one of which will go in the playground, and one in the doggy park.
Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, onward into the day! Rah.
Happy Firday Y’all!
I’m up and about, and I decided to be nice and tend to Roxy so her parents can sleep in a bit more. She’s been fed and she’s playing with stuff at the moment. I’m breakfasting. Not a bad way to start the day.
**swampy **- I get the impression you like being in charge of stuff and people! Go you!!
Never turned off the alarm that was set for Dark:15, which is when I got up yestidy. I was already tired, now I’m even more so.
Iffn you’re putting them together how can they go in separate places? 
Happy Firday!
blurf
Happy Friday all!
The nephew and nieces are coming over tonight. I’ll have 5 kids to watch tonight, one of whom is only a couple months old, all on my own. This will be fun.
