ham flavored chewing gum?

ION, i filed my taxes! Sure, the IRS won't accept them until after Feb 14th, but i had clicked all the buttons and printed out the pages. Looking very much forward to that $1500, especially now that i've been told that there is knob and tube wiring in my attic (painfully expensive to abate.) grrrrrrr. That news made me so cranky i wanted to curl into a ball and cry. Instead, i did my taxes.

Slightly exciting thing: this was the first year in memory that my medical expenses were not deductible. I was $200 shy of being able to deduct, so i didn't. If i continue at this level of health, i won't even need to add everything up next year because without all the bills and PT from the broken foot incident i wouldn't have even been close! So boo on doing all the maths and then not being able to deduct, but yay on not spending so much percentage of my income on medical expenses!

Oh my lord, what a crazyass week. I am beat.

Yeah, that's all I've got at the moment.

Shir! Just heard a piece on my local radio about the website launch of Hollaback Bmore (Baltimore, my fair city): [link] I dropped them a line about your site as well.

(Oh, and they totally got back to me and totally were like SHIR! Yes, of course we know about her! AWESOMECAKES.)

Sarameg, Shir, that is way cool!

so I'm trying to find a place to live in Vermont. The goal for this year is for me to move up there.

Rent is really high, but I keep looking. Found a place in Waterbury and the listing name checks The Alchemist "the apartment is a short walking distance to many shops/restaurants, like The Reservoir and The Alchemist"

Woo!!! Waterbury is a great town, even if the Alchemist weren't there.

I sent an inquiry about the apartment.

I've got to get serious about moving up there, but housing is so freaking expensive. But the hope and wish for and goal is to be up there by June or before. I haven't even been up there to visit but I'm determined to get up there. It would be great if I could get up there so Willa nd I could celebrate our anniversary together, in person, for the first time (our 3 year anniversary). But I'd settle for celebrating my birthday up there in June.

If I didn't have cats things would be going a lot easier.

Celery?

Evil.
