We've got an overnight Snow Emergency here in the land of Too Few Parking Spaces. If I go out driving tomorrow, I'll almost surely lose my space. Of course, by the time I get finished driving and making money, the emergency could be over and suddenly there's twice as many spaces as there were when I started.
OTOH, not having a driveway means not having to shovel it. Le Sigh.

I chipped a front tooth that already was chipped, so I am feeling grumpy and snaggletoothed today.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm afraid I'm getting sick, and I did this routine like two weeks ago and I wasn't sick, so maybe it's just allergies again, but regardless, bleh.

Ugh, I'm sorry.
MY WORKWEEK IS FINALLY OVER. I think I will go home and have some rum. After I buy gas because my car is running on fumes. And maybe a zeppole because I think I know where to find some.

Either e-filing taxes has gotten much simpler or I just chose confusing services to do it through in previous years. It's never gone this quickly or easily for me before.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Me too, for both Federal and State.

I saved my W-2 form from the fire! The fire that never actually reached my apartment,but still.
As of today, I am officially be-apartmented again! They're going to turn on the gas Monday and I've got AT&T coming out for phone and Internet on Tuesday. The cleaning guys say my stuff should be ready to move in Sunday. I am therefore going to spend as much of tomorrow relaxing as I can, because this entire thing has moved TOO GODDAMN FAST.

Wow, chris! This has to have been a real stressor, even if you're not in the sad position of having lost things.
Which reminds me, I went to a job-search workshop today, and one of the participants was a nice polite young-ish man who was starting a job search -- after having gotten out of prison less than three weeks ago, after 8 years locked up. My situation isn't nearly as difficult...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We've been filing our taxes separately since I started freelancing, but we have to file jointly this year because we had health insurance through the ACA (thanks, Obama) (no, seriously) for 1 month in 2018, and they require that married couples file jointly if they have ACA insurance. I'm curious to see how that will shake out for us.
I always do my Dad's taxes, and it looks like he owes the feds this year for the first time in a long time. Wonder if he'll still be such a Trump fan after he finds that out.
