I more or less did my taxes online, but I apparently owe a bunch, and have also been drinking rum (medicinally! At my mother's suggestion!) so I saved it to review later. The owing makes sense, because of the consultant pay, but I'm not sure I did the two states right. Remind me to move on New Year's Eve next time.
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The status is NOT quo.
ita, reading the past few hundred posts, I realized I should share two things: I have car and Cosco membership and am happy to share both, and Drew has a truly incredible Scotch collection you should try sometime. I give him one really old, fancy bottle for Christmas every year. This year was a 42 year old one that made him drool.
Stay safe, snowistas!

I'm not too good at estimating snow depth, but when I went out about an hour ago, it was a few inches above my knees.

Oh, taxes. I should start those to see where things stand before I go to Vegas. But first I need to make a Walgreens run, and then I need to play with the netbook that arrived today.

At the competition. A kid's eligibility was revoked yesterday and one of the other two kids in that division was coming separately because he is in a wheelchair. We needed to be here by 8:40 AM. He left his house, 20 minutes away, at 6:35. On the way, the van broke down and he had to wait for a new ride. He got here at 8:35. I was so anxious, and not in a good way, about the whole ordeal.
But all 8 of my duckies are doing there thing. I hope it goes well.

Timelies, all.
They flew a lot of us home from LA early because of snowmageddon. We were so lucky -- a few of us were on one of the last flights into Dulles before everything was canceled. So I got home yesterday morning, went out to grab a meal before the snow started, and then slept for 6 hours. Then I puttered around and called my mom before going back to bed for another 12 hours. I almost feel human again.
Two trees behind my place were leaning precariously last night under all the snow. They both have now collapsed onto the tennis court. Smashed the fence up, too. Poor trees. But the birds have been swarming the feeder on my balcony.

I just made a giant batch of cashew ricotta, to be used in lasagna later today. I have not done anything at all to clean my apartment, which is what I really need to do today.

That is why we must never let polar bears win the arms race.
