Sorry, changing the subject!
Coral, I feel like a little kid coming for my head pats from you, but you are my auxiliary ego when it comes to keeping on top of my chores!
Today I went looking for my tax info. This required me to slog through the morass of mixed paper debris that blankets the kitchen table and chairs and carpets the kitchen floor. I got most of it picked up, picked through, and sorted into recycling, trash, or various bags/baskets of categories. I have the tax doc's although I still have to sort through one more basket of papers of the financial kind to be sure I have everything. I also downloaded from the web the tax table, and the 1040. I am going to file an extension, but to do so, you still need to basically fill out the 1040 as a draft. So that is what I'll do tomorrow morning. Then, I will go joing the "party" at the post office, standing in line waiting to send it off via certified, return receipt mail. My accountant once told me that it is especially important to do so if filing an extension.
My sink is still clean! And counters, and stove. I have been actually cooking food rather than relying on take-out. By cooking I mean nothing elaborate, for sure--just pasta, rice, steamed vegies, etc. But I hadn't used the stove top in months before that.
Yesterday, I took out trash and recycling, and did a few loads of laundry. Oh, and yeah, today I finally remembered to call about getting the washing machine repaired!! I have an appointment for next week. In the meantime, I'm using the communal machines, but since the weather is better it is not such a hassle.
Believe it or not I actually made the bed today.
Mind you, I'm on vacation this week from work--hence the extra time to get these things done. But even so, I've had plenty of days off when I just lie around like a slug. I think maybe the sun shining does help.
Ok, awaiting my ritual head pat from my auxiliary ego....
