This has been mostly a stay at home day. I did go to the post office to buy some stamps, I stopped and dropped off my water bill and then took the stamps and some mailing labels to the detention center. Other than that, I have stayed home and haven’t done much.
I did call to get an appointment to get the dog’s haircut for the summer. The first day they can do both dogs on the same day is May 13. I didn’t get Roxy done last year but she had a long, hot summer so need to do both this year.
I do have to go in to do taxes tomorrow. We had a couple returns rejected from yesterday that I need to help figure out a solution to so they can go through. I anticipated a problem with two of them and not sure what the solution will be. Sometimes the options they give us doesn’t fit the problem. I will take my pee jug into town and drop it off at the clinic before taxes. Luckily our first appointment is at 9:45 so I can get there a bit late.
I need to stop and get flea and tick medication for the dogs and cats after I am done with taxes. I also need some groceries so it may turn into a longer day in town than I would prefer. Glad I can get all this done in one trip though and not have to make another trip Friday or the weekend.
No plans for the weekend. Monday I am meeting a friend for lunch. Not sure if I will go to town for taxes next week or not. When I was there Tuesday the schedule for next week was completely empty. Maybe some appointments have come in though. I will keep my calendar free in case I am needed.
Felt good to have a quiet day today. Yesterday’s tax session was exhausting as it was so long with a couple of complicated cases. I was completely peopled out by the time I got home. It will be good to have a couple weeks of quiet coming up.
We may get some storms tonight. It has been cloudy and cool all day. We need rain so won’t complain if we get rain. Trusting the stronger winds and severe weather stuff stays away from here. Not sure where we would go if there is a tornado. This house is 126 years old and still standing so not too worried.
I attempted to read the news today and felt so detached to it that the news felt like I was reading a comic book. Things are really heating up and moving at a quick pace. Old, rich white men are scared and when they get scared they do crazy stuff to attempt to remain in control. My heart goes to those that are getting caught in their crosshairs.
Grateful for a day at home, grateful for the chance of rain, and grateful for a quiet weekend ahead.
