I slept most of the night again. Woke up a few times to go to the bathroom. Finally woke up around 6:30 and stayed awake. Decided to get my shower and eat breakfast and go into town a bit early so I could get some groceries before my tax preparation shift.
It felt like I was trying to cough up my toenails this morning so decided to get a face mask to wear while doing taxes so I wouldn’t cough all over someone. I couldn’t find any at Walmart so had to go to Walgreen’s to get some. Stopped and got an iced tea to keep my throat moist and went to the tax place.
Only did two returns today – both were easy. I was able to watch the review process today and learned something both times. Both clients got money back so they were happy. One of the returns I did was for an ex-employee. It was nice to see her.
After I was done doing taxes I went for a quick lunch and then went to watch Ellexia’s gymnastic meet. I sat with her for over two hours before it was time for her to do her 5 second routine. She placed fifth which isn’t bad considering this was her first meet. I brought Tagen home with me as she had another event at 5:30 this evening and Tagen had been at the Symphony since 7:00 am and was done with it all. Tagen and I have been chilling at my house this afternoon.
I am feeling better this afternoon. I woke up coughing this morning but it seems to have finally quieted down. I think I am on the last days of this crud – finally!
One of the clients that came today saw my mask and told me to stay far away from her. She was not kidding! I then heard her tell the leader that she didn’t want me to do her taxes. Geez! I wore the mask to protect her not alarm her. I don’t think I am contagious anymore anyways. Whatever! I guess when something is free you get to be demanding. The clients I did take were most grateful for my service and made up for the one rude lady.
Next week I do taxes Monday, Tuesday and Saturday mornings. I was to have done them Wednesday evening but since I have grandkids they found someone else to cover that shift for me. I am getting more comfortable doing them already and it is becoming fun to interact with the clients. This is a good volunteer job for me.
Sitting in my peaceful valley enjoying having my grandson out here with me. I have been texting my Match guy and laughing at his sense of humor. I was in service to others earlier today and got to see my granddaughter perform. Life is good! I am blessed.
Grateful for feeling better each and everyday, grateful for time spent with grandchildren today, and grateful to have been in service to others today.
