I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That’s great, sumi!

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

Great news, sumi!

Woohoo, sumi!

That's pretty, Brenda. Neat idea.

Yay, Jesse and other filers!

Why awake? Not on.

Yay sumi!

Sadly the Fox News of it all continues for my dance group and there have apparently been credible violent threats to the point where they canceled our dance tonight and the one for Tuesday. Yikes. Texts went around and some of us (maybe 35 people?) met up at the community college a couple blocks away from where we’d usually dance and had some discussion (still plenty to be had) and then some dancing in the college’s basketball gym. Which yay for that but heavy to be worrying about some crazy person hating on us and threatening violence. Ugh.

Sumi, that is great news!

I filed my city taxes this morning, and since I pay estimated quarterly taxes, even though I know what the percentage is, I always wonder how far off I am. For 2023 city taxes, I overpaid by... a grand total of 53 cents! I love when I get that close on my taxes.

Federal will be a whole other thing, though. I need Tim to wake up and give me his tax documents so I can get all this off my plate.

Wow, meara, that’s terrible! I’m so sorry y’all have to deal with that.

Our wings are not tired.

That is so upsetting, meara. I'm sorry.

Yay, sumi! Also, well done on all the tax preparation. I have one more step for my corporate return, and have to do my son's.

We are also staying at The Line. Staying the 15th-19th. Arriving very early on the 14th, but DH is planning a side trip first to Reno or something. Not sure details on that part.
