Well. I woke up at 4 am today. I suppose I heard Don get up just before me, but what kept me up and awake after I had visited the bathroom was a tickle in my right nostril that made me sneeze over and over and then remain so stuffed up that I finally had to get up. I still have the tickle 4½ hours later.
I came downstairs and immediately took a shower, thinking the steam might help.
A first. I don’t think I’ve ever taken a shower that early.
Then I made some coffee, of course.
Anyway. I have to follow Don so he can drop off his car. Something, we think, with the transmission, which was rebuilt right before he bought it. So, this shouldn’t be happening, if, it is indeed the transmission. It could be something else, I suppose.
And, to top it all off, for the first time in the over 20 years we have been using our accountant, they didn’t file our taxes in time for the deadline last Friday. What???? I am stunned. We got everything in on time – a full month before they had to file, which is exactly what we have done for over 20 years. Same date, same submission of deductions. I wrote to them three times over the weekend asking why we hadn’t heard anything yet. This morning, I opened my mail to get the message that our taxes haven’t been filed yet because “there were a lot of people who got their info in before you.” I am not happy.
Car, taxes, trying to deal with paperwork re: the film, and not enough sleep.
But, it’s a beautiful day out there, so there’s that!
I will most likely lay low today. I’ll read some more of The Lantern Men and scroll through Instagram, looking at all the adorable Blythe dolls. That will make me smile.
Yay Red Sox! What a game!
You know, of course, that I don’t expect or require you to leave comments. But I do register how many there are since I answer nearly every all of them and when the comments drop in number for more than a day or two, I begin to wonder if that drop has anything to do with what I’ve written or not written. I’m only human. So yesterday’s post was simply about one instance of that thought process and my resulting realization. That’s all.
Stay safe.
Happy Tuesday.
