What a day! I went to Emporia early afternoon to drop off something for Ellexia. I had two checks to deposit and then I had a quick lunch. Went to the tax coordinator’s house and finished up getting certified to do taxes. It was a bit of a circus at the meeting. I think there were three phone conversations going at the same time at one point.
I was pleased that two of the three problems in the workbook that I completed were correct. The second one I gave up on and they gave me the answers. It was a situational problem that we will not see while doing taxes. My give a shit level was pretty low by that point and I was done with it all.
Found out the reason I had trouble doing another portion of the taxes was I hadn’t been given the download I needed to do them on. What a difference that made. The one problem that I had worked was correct so I called that exercise good too. There were three other problems I could have worked on but the coordinator said not to worry about them.
Not sure the final two things I had to do was sent to me correctly. I may have two more things to read. We shall see. It seems to be a bit chaotic to get these last minute things taken care of. There are broken parts in the system that drive me crazy. Good thing actually doing taxes is easy.
I am going to be working from 9 – 12 and from 5 – 8 every Wednesday starting next week through April 10. Hoping I can work my exercise program in the afternoon. I will have to find something to do in Emporia every Wednesday afternoon for a couple of hours. Not sure I want to put 70 miles on my car every week by making two trips to town that day. Ideas? Anyone know of a volunteer thing I could do in Emporia on Wednesday afternoons?
When I got done doing taxes I went to Walmart to pick up my grocery order. I was early but one of the workers checked in with me and he checked me in and I got my order early. Bless his heart. I can now order ice with my on-line order. Yay!
Came home and got everything unloaded and put away and did the chicken chores. I got 22 eggs again today. They are meeting their summer high production right now. I think they like these 70 degree February days. The rooster gave me the stink eye today but left me alone.
Tomorrow I am going to Matfield Green to a Celebration of Life Service in the afternoon. I have another service to go to Sunday afternoon. I promised Tagen a special dessert so I will take that in Sunday to him when I go to town. I got the stuff to make it with my grocery order today.
Next week looks much calmer. This week has been a whirlwind. I will enjoy a couple of days full of empty space next week. My pending list got shortened this week though so some things got done. Sometimes I feel pretty overwhelmed with all it takes to keep this house running. I don’t like waiting for someone else to do something. My style is to just get it done – now!
So far I have been able to hold myself above the neutral level on the consciousness scale even with all the chaos of the week. I am going to need to take some time to refill soon though. Lots of stuff going on in the background that has me riled up. I didn’t sleep much again last night. I am overdue for a crash and burn moment.
Grateful the tax prep crap is done, grateful for another spring day in early February, and grateful I have some empty space in front of me this evening.
