I guess I'm the last NYista, then.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Well, D and I were supposed to celebrate our 6th Anniversary -- it fell on a Saturday! -- with a fancy dinner, and drinks after. We were even going to get a cab, so both of us could have more than 1 cocktail. (We are both terrible lightweights these days.)

But Dan came home feeling crappy last night, and is on-call this week, and got called in this morning, and though I felt fine when I went to sleep, my gusher of a running nose woke me up. Gross.

So we're postponing a week, but that's fine. He brought my sneezy self flowers and toffee and the cheese enchiladas I'd been craving, on his way home from the office, so our weekend will be high on the pajama wearing, tea drinking, Star Wars watching front.

Considering last year we spent our anniversary moving house for the first of two times in three weeks, this weekend is pretty damned blissful in comparison, snot and all.

oh holy hell. my 2014 tax return is still in processing, so I can not file my 2015 return. I guess I will be calling IRS office Monday morning. I am sure that is going to go GREAT.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

You can give it away and the recipient can decide. You aren't obligating anyone to wear it.

Shelters have to deal with a lot of borderline crap. I'd say if it's visibly stained, trash it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I guess I'm the last NYista, then.

Whoa, really? I don't know why that should be such a shock to my worldview but it seems to be.

Today might just end u[ being all about breaking down boxes. I guess that's okay, it certainly needs doing.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Congrats Jessica! That's awesome

On the other hand, not awesome IRS, why you gotta do things that way? Rebecca, you can probably just file an extension for 2015 taxes, with the one hitch there being you need to pay up what you think you owe if you think you owe, but you get 3 more months finish up the paperwork. Or in this case, wait for the IRS to finish up the 2014 taxes. Ugh. What a mess.

I did my bike-to-stretch class routine this morning, which meant getting rained on, but not too bad. And then I was too sore and hungry to go straight home, so I stopped to get food on the way. And since I got home it's been laundry, mostly folding (somehow there were 3 big loads waiting to be folded! I hate it when no one does the folding when I ask), now on to dishes. At some point, I'll get to sit in the shower, which will be bliss.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I actually get a weekend! I've spend the day so far reading. I do need to fight with my computer to convince it to talk to printers again. And do taxes.

oh holy hell. my 2014 tax return is still in processing, so I can not file my 2015 return

If you do it on paper you can. I doubt it will speed up processing, but it'll be done.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

If I had the flu, I'd know it, right? I have had a horrible cough/wheezing since Wednesday, but I'm still able to power through for a couple hours at a time - my mom is in town visiting. But I just feel pretty shitty all the time.
