I did my taxes today, and for various reasons of being knowingly lax, I owe. I'm doing DP's tomorrow; should be fairly standard.
I guess cicada reports will get old pretty quickly, so apologies in advance, but this is basically day one of seeing more than one husk, and, dear lord, I may never go out again. They live!
It was a nice two weeks of seeing people I like again post vaccination. Oh, well.
One snuck into my house on the bottom of a package that I had already knocked three off of. Shudder.
ETA: But I did download Cicada Safari on my phone so that I can be all citizen scientist about it.

Tim's family wants to have a birthday party for Tim's dad 2 weeks from today, and they were starting to plan it at a park. Apparently I am the only one with any goddamn sense in that family, because I said oh HELL no, am I the only one who remembers what the cicada invasion is like? Plus Tim's dad is officially a cranky old man who doesn't like being anywhere that isn't climate controlled and doesn't have a cushy place for him to sit and a bathroom very close by (and I have to say, honestly, SAME). And a park doesn't have any of those things. Plus within 90 seconds he would be all "Can someone do something about those bugs? Why are they so loud? I need to go inside." (And, again, SAME.)
I don't know why I'm not already best friends with Carla Lalli-Music. This is what I get for leaving New York.
I'm pretty sure she would love you and you would be besties. The BA video with her and Molly Baz going to Italy to learn how to make mozzarella by hand (and drinking a lot of wine) was very jolly.
I'm kinda nostalgic for the cicadas....but not that nostalgic.
Now I want someone to make me a brocco-taco (I do not feel like cooking one).
NEWS FLASH! ****** It is Monday and I could not care less about working today, I have a ton of motivation to do more things around my house after a fairly successful weekend of GETTING SHIT DONE. Can we please implement 3 day weekend at least every other week???
I've already worked out the math on how this could be my reality, but I do not think Big Boss would go for it.
I've done a lot of three-day weekends this year and still have not gotten much done around the house, somehow.
Apparently I filled in an identifying number wrong on my tax form. About to go fix that.
And I'm doing DP's taxes next. This counts for the eventual sainthood bid, right?
First and foremost, the Nilly birthday calendar tells me it is a Happy Birthday to Vortex day! We don't see her often enough so let's hope she has more time to visit in the year to come. (Also birthday boob smoosh just because)
Also, it is the anniversary of the first Buffista F2F in 2002. Sniff.
It is a Monday. Did lots of security updates on the weekend for all our servers and are paying the price this morning. Ugh and then some.
Oh, wow, 2002. That was before my time. Twentieth anniversary of F2Fs next year. Seems momentous....
Happy Birthday to Vortex!
I fixed my tax form. Ooh, and I called Amex to update my bank a ccount for payment Onerous Task #1 completed. On to OT#2 - DP's taxes.
