I am one of those wait until the last minute tax people, too, Liz. Just the way some of us are wired, I think. In the old days when I was far less busy I used to get my taxes done well ahead of the deadline. The past decade (maybe 2) I have gotten them done on the 14th or 15th. One year I sat in my trailer late at night at the dog show working on them. LOL! But I have yet to file late! The exception was 2020 when I had all kinds of time on my hands during the shut in.

204.8 - up 1.3 overnight, but I'm still under 205, so I'm not complaining. I saw some photos taken over the weekend. I'm looking good in a suit, but in my street clothes I can see that I still need to lose a few more pounds. I really think another 15-20 off will get me to the perfect weight.

I'm feeling indulgent using up my sick days, but I don't feel one bit guilty! LOL! I could use the day of rest anyhow.

Poor Lucky fell off the bed last night at 12:18 having a grand mal that came on in his sleep. It lasted a long time, too! He was down for several minutes this time and when he was back on his feet, I could tell he was still having involuntary muscle issues and his brain wasn't working right. The older he gets the more the seizures take out of him when he has them. Poor boy. But this morning he is his usual chipper goofy self. I'm glad they never seem to have a lasting effect. I do wonder if they will shorten his life eventually. No clear data on that.

After several beautiful days - yesterday was sunny and in the 80s - today it's overcast and cool. Boooooo! It's supposed to only get to about 65 degrees today. At least that's not cold!

Started moving food from one freezer to the other last night. Oh, dear, what one can lose in a chest freezer! So glad we have the upright now!

Tidy Tuesday, indeed! A goal my first year of retirement is to become more tidy in all areas of my life - physical, emotional, organizational, etc...

At least your DH likes to replace things! My DH would live with a dripping faucet/lukewarm water/broken garbage disposal for an extended period of time as long as he could work around it. I had our faucet replaced because it didn't work properly in either the regular or spray mode and wouldn't stay up in the facet arm (it's the kind you pull out). The repairman said it couldn't be fixed - DH thought it wasn't so bad and would have continued to live with it.

I kind of agree with you about CC's friend but maybe she will explain her actions adequately.

Ugh! Weather here is less than charming. 50s, with a few low 60s in the extended forecast, and mostly overcast. I want 70s with sunshine. I need to go back to Florida with Liz!

Speaking of warm weather plans, DH said to me yesterday, why don't we plan on 6 weeks in Brazil? Happy dance! He initially said 4 weeks, so I think he is now really "warming" up to the idea. (Yes, deliberately bad pun). We would come back mid/late February, check in on everything, and then, most likely head to Florida for another month if we can find the right kind of short term rental.

I go to work everyday, and I still sometimes get the day wrong! Today when was I was leaving, I looked at my white board calendar and wondered why Z hadn't crossed off Monday. Then I remembered it wasn't Tuesday, and Z will cross off Monday when he's in my class 1st hour on Tuesday. (He is the keeper of our classroom calendar).

Lol! I really did think it was Tuesday! The retired life!
