What a fricking cold day.  The cold combined with the wind made chores a very cold job today.  It looked so nice out until I stepped into the wind.  My hands were ice cubes by the time I was done with chores.

Got a text from CVS telling me they can’t fill my new prescription as it is too soon.  Evidently Walgreen’s processed it through insurance even though it was to have been cancelled and transferred.  Walgreen’s hasn’t let me know if the script is ready to be picked up.   I wasn’t in the mood to get it all sorted out today.  Maybe I will be tomorrow.  Good thing it wasn’t an urgent situation and I needed to have started the medication sooner rather than later.

When I was doing breakfast cleanup I realized my feet were getting wet.  Looked under the sink and found water dripping out onto the floor.  When I cleared everything out from under the sink and turned the water back on to see where it was coming from I found it coming from the bottom of my garbage disposal.  Called the plumber and he said it needed to be replaced.  They were able to come out this afternoon and take care of it for me.  Scheer Plumbing is the best.  I think my house was missing them.  They hadn’t been out for over a year.

Went to class tonight and am feeling a bit better about being prepared to start doing income tax returns.  I was able to input a sample return and found it to be rather easy.  The leaders promised they would start me with simple returns and not give me the harder ones until I was ready.  I think I can, I think I can.  If you want your income taxes prepared for you for free call the Emporia Sr Center and they will schedule you.  There is no income test or age requirement.  Anyone that lives in KS can have them done for free as long as your return is within our scope of what we can do.  We can’t do rental properties that require depreciation or a small business that has inventory considerations.  Most returns we can do.

I will need to go to Emporia tomorrow.  I didn’t allow enough time this afternoon to go to the vet’s office to get flea and tic medication.  I’m hoping I will have a prescription to pick up for me tomorrow too.  I also need a few groceries.  I hope it is warmer tomorrow.

Grateful for my plumber that always takes care of me promptly, grateful for volunteer opportunities, and grateful this day is almost over.
