I like the look of that rooftop bar!

Not immaterial to the selection :-)

Yesssss.

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.

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.

That sucks, meara!! Fuck those people!

^^^ meara, what lisah said!

Finished with taxes! (Which would have gone faster if Tim hadn't realized, about 30 seconds before I hit "file," that he had interest income on a rather large CD he cashed out this year to move into our brokerage account. So I got to backpedal and input all that info and marvel that we still managed to get a tiny refund in the end anyway.)

Now groceries, CVS, ride the bike, lift weights. Tomorrow is the bridal shower for our niece, which should be lovely. (Oh shit, that adds one more thing to today's to-do list: get the steamer out and steam the wrinkles out of the dress I'm wearing tomorrow.)

That's terrible, meara! The fuck is wrong with people.

Woooo, sumi!!

I just said I could host a meeting of 20 people in my house, and I'm not sure that's true! So fingers crossed they find somewhere better.

Also: I'm sorry to miss both Shir and the memorial. When Shir is on the east coast, I'll be on the west coast, which is also the reason I can't go back out again.
