I sure didn’t want to get up this morning when the alarm went off. I had trouble falling asleep last night. I slept hard once I fell asleep though.
I took my jug of pee to the lab to drop it off. They noticed I hadn’t had my TSH checked for two months so took care of that since I was there.
Went to do taxes when I was done at the lab. I only entered one return today as we didn’t have many clients. But I did help resolve a couple of returns that had been rejected Tuesday. I was glad to see the other preparers weren’t sure how to handle them either. Not sure if they are resolved yet or not.
I went to the Vet’s office when I was done doing taxes and got flea and tick medication for the two dogs and two cats. Man that stuff is expensive.
Stopped at a new to me place for lunch. I won’t go back. It is the BBQ place by the old Water’s Hardware store. The meat was so burned that I couldn’t find much tender enough to eat. I left hungry!
Went through the car wash on my way to Walmart for groceries. Got what I needed at Walmart and came home. I hadn’t bought groceries for a bit and had to restock some essentials.
Haven’t done much since I got home. I am tired as I needed more sleep this morning. Maybe I can go to bed early tonight and get extra sleep.
Tomorrow I am meeting a couple for lunch in Florence. It will be fun to meet them and pick up the money she made at the Rally in Wichita last weekend.
No plans for the weekend. I am looking forward to two quiet, stay-at-home days. We might get some rain Friday evening which we need. We got a bit last night but can use more.
Next week looks fairly quiet. I may or may not have taxes to do. Next week I am doing them Tuesday and Wednesday if needed. One of my co-workers needed to have Wednesday off so we traded shifts. So far there is only one person scheduled for Monday and I think only a couple on Tuesday and then none for the rest of the week.
My TSH came back 1.37. The blood draw was taken only an hour after I took my meds so I expected it to be lower than it normally is and it was. I hope the Doctor doesn’t try to adjust my meds. If she does I will have to tell her not to. I usually have it drawn 4 – 5 hours after I take my meds so the results are more consistent.
I seriously need to do some housecleaning this weekend. It has reached the point where I can’t handle the dirt anymore.
I haven’t mentioned my spending freeze that I started the end of December. I am still honoring it. This is the longest I have ever gone. Material things just hold no interest for me right now. I keep feeling that I need to stay on this path for the foreseeable future. Now doesn’t feel like the time to do unneeded purchasing. I have increased my charitable giving though. I have a feeling too that things are going to get increasingly difficult for those that live on the margins and can’t absorb the rising gas, food and fuel prices.
Grateful for a short and easy day doing taxes, grateful for the rain we got last night, and grateful for a quiet weekend ahead.
