back on the couch, flat on my back. stupid back! I do have an adorable Taz curled up next to me though. Kristin, I'm sorry about the computer thing and the resulting money woes. at least you got your data back though. Healing ma for Byron.

it is hard to type while flat on one's back. that is all.

{{{Kristin and Byron}}}

But, go Kristin on getting the data back!

Poor Ellie! Poor Stephanie!

Poor Nora!

Not a good morning around here, me thinks.

{{Stephanie}} I'm glad her fever's down today!

just fyi, in case - we had one of those viruses over here for a couple days where she only got the fever at night - and during the day she was active and fine. Which was (wrt daycare and getting work done) insanely insane.

{{Nora}}

healing~ma and benign~ma for Byron!

did you get my email, vw?

Yup. I responded. We can totally reschedule. You take care of yourself, k?

Ya in May I'll get the $600 tax incentive thing. But I have to pay my taxes before I get the incentive.

IRS Stimulus Payment Schedule: [link]

Note that people who had their tax refund direct deposited are the first to get their stimulus payments issued, and will receive the payment by direct deposit to the same account.

People who received their refund by check, and those who owed taxes and paid by check or credit card, are on the later schedule to receive their payment by check through the mail.

It's still unclear to me whether people who paid their tax bill with an electronic funds withdrawal from a checking or savings account will get their payment by direct deposit or not. I'd bet "not," until the IRS clearly says otherwise.

Lots of healing ~ma and biopsy ~ma for Byron.

Get well soon, but take a long nap ~ma for Ellie!

I would very much like to give one of our part time librarians enough rope to hang herself tonight in an annual review meeting, but I'm afraid the Big Boss won't let me. (She'd hang herself by answering the question, "What hours did you work on Sunday?" because if she lies I have proof that she left in the middle of the day (elevator & garage records), and if she tells the truth then she falsified her timesheet.) Big Boss never lets me fire people who deserve it! ::pout::

So I gave in to the urge and had BK for breakfast. I have achieved a semblance of a tater tot! The sausage, egg and cheese biscuit was somewhat disappointing due to the biscuit; I miss the sourdough thing they used to have for a breakfast sandwich.

Must have a light lunch, though. And take a long walk afterwards.

Sparky, that's bothersome enough to make me need a mouth guard, against the teeth-grinding I would be doing.

Nora, back~ma for you. I'm glad Taz is there to keep you company. Maybe he will purr you better.

Stephanie, I'm glad Ellie is ok today.

There was more, but I forgot.

P.S. I'm not crazy about tater tots. Probably because I first encountered them as school food.

Tater tots are one of those things that I'm surprised I still like. It was certainly a staple comfort food in my house growing up, but some of those I ate so much that I just can't eat them anymore (like rice with cream of tuna sauce). We usually ate tater tots in tater tot casserole, which was tater tots, cream of mushroom soup, and ground beef. I don't eat them that way very much any more, but do get cravings for it every once in a while.
