I don't like dry Manhattans, but Juliana turned me on to perfect Manhattans, which are ½ dry and ½ sweet vermouth, and are awesome.

What are y'all doing this weekend? I'm headed to do volunteer training and I have a massage tomorrow.

I have a massage today! Also dad and some errands. Tomorrow just dad and possible house cleaning?

Today, drawing, maybe some housework. Tomorrow I'm staying with my dad while Mom goes out of state for a birthday party.

I have a blissfully unscheduled weekend. It's my first in a while, so I'm reveling in it. I do have plans to catch up on Agents of Shield with some friends, but that's less a scheduled thing and more a hang out at some point Sunday thing.

Running errands, doing taxes. There's a reggae band playing at the bar around the corner tonight that I think we're going to go see, entirely because the band is playing in the basement bar, and I've never seen the basement of this bar and now I'm curious.

My sister arrives this afternoon for a couple week visit! She will probably only be with me a day because she will head over to stay with Mom. But always happy to see her.

We were supposed to have a yard sale today but, since it's winter again, we've postponed until June. So, got to sleep in and go to market and petstore and now am at the mall. Wish I had a massage scheduled!

It's raining, so I'm not practicing Tai Chi in the park. My plan for the day is a whirlwind of indoor tidying and organizing, but I have not found the motivation to actually start, yet. Tomorrow is a local multi-winery event that I am quite looking forward to, rain or not.

I walked a 5K this morning. Mac was an ass last night, stayed up all hours playing video game and kept yelling on skype with his friends waking me up. COME TO JESUS TALK is pending.

I am going to do my taxes. I still have not gotten my refund from last year, there was a whole thing where they requested I resend the front pages even though I filed online and then I sent those in, but unsigned and had to re-re-send them back, but NOTHING. I need to call this week huh.

In prep, I went through the piles of papers I have sitting about and found what I hope are most of the things I need. I found lots of paper stuffs that I do not need and have a half full recycling bin now.

My manicure from last week did not take at all, which is unusual, and I have had 3 acrylics just pull off.

Um, what else? I need to pick some music to do taxes by.

We also need to file our taxes, which involves sending the feds $3200. Oh freelance income, how I have mixed feelings about you.

We also spent an hour and a half at a soccer game this morning in 35 degrees and wind. It did seem to be a bonding experience for the parents...
