Officially started taxes. Maybe can get 'em done by the same date I did last year. Maybe.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Did my taxes on Friday, which is gratifying to have them finished in January.
My skin is so dry it's painful. Not even direct applications of coconut oil + hazelnut oil is providing relief. I may have to go to the medical grade stuff.
I know have the crud the rest of my family has. This is Not Good. But I will get up and swim tomorrow anyhow.

When I have a crud, about the only time I feel vaguely human is in the pool.
I didn't get my w2s until this past week, but I think I have all the paperwork now.
I've found the culprit for all my open drawers: Loki. And he doesn't even fit in them!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I did the taxes and am getting money back for the first time in ever. But need to pay state, although about half of my federal refund. So since we're pinching pennies right now I'm going to go ahead and file federal and wait to file state.
Which I have to remember to finish on Friday.
And I also have to remember tomorrow I have to finish cleaning out the car and get cash from the bank including quarters and wash the car and figure out how to pull up the car seat. Before 9:00. And it's snowing right now. Woes.

Officially too cold to sleep. Powerco says restoration by 2/9 HPF has school on 2-hr. delay. We might just decamp for a month to Hawaii.

Yikes! Sunday is too far away. Maybe not Hawaii, but a hotel room?

Holy crap. They found the Lipinski Strad: [link]
Props to the Milwaukee police, I did not see that coming. (My sister believes Neil Caffrey must have been involved.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, Sox, is there any way to get into a hotel for a couple of nights?
Not nearly this severe, but my parents are having their (only) bathroom redone, and it's a good thing the tenant is friendly! They have a working toilet and sink, if no walls, but not a shower, so they came down yesterday to use mine. And since it seems like all that's happened this week is demo, I shudder to think how long it will actually take. Yikes.
ION, there is a team that apparently pulled an all-nighter here last night, and that is just wrong. I know that's how it goes some times in their area, but yikes.

Our taxes have a habit of cancelling each other out, as in we owe to the state what the feds are refunding us or vice versa.
