J. is attending his monthly golf meeting - which is a social thing as much as it is a meeting. They have speakers, have a nice lunch, spend time talking golf. He really enjoys the group!
I've spent a good chunk of the morning doing a ton of little things that most people wouldn't notice, but I do. Cleaned out the toaster - decrumbed all the parts as best I could. Wiped out the cupboard where we store the toaster 'cuz it was pretty crumby, too. Unloaded the dishwasher I ran first thing this morning - it's reloaded again (big pans from a spaghetti feast last night) and running. Took a couple things out to the garage for the donation bin. Grabbed a couple food items from the garage shelves to move them inside - so I don't forget we have them. Mostly, we are trying to store food items in the pantry but when we've done a Costco shop stock up, some things hang out in the garage for a bit until we need them.
Treated the cats to a small bit of moist food. They gobble it up and when Nala's finished, Muf moves in to finish. They'll be stuffed and happy and will likely curl up for a nice nap.
I'm working on B.'s taxes - was really overwhelmed last night as I tried to figure out how to report the loss he took on cryptocurrency. He is adventurous in his investing - and he's also really good at investing in things that grow. Tesla for one. Anyway...he did suffer a loss on crypto but that helped reduce what he owes from the stock sales he made throughout the year. Finally figured out what to do so I didn't ruminate about it all night - but I made J. nuts (I'm sure) 'cuz I was so over it last night.
It all worked out. I'm going to dig in and finish our taxes and B.'s in the next couple days.
J. is heading to California this weekend - leaving Saturday and returning Sunday depending on weather - attending a concert with his best friend R. at Gallo Center in Modesto. I've got a 'Ladies Weekend' at Atlantis - I'll be staying there Friday and Saturday nights. Looking forward to a lot of play time. And beer. And free play. Plan to cash in some comps for free play and see what happens. Also thinking I'll venture to a neighboring casino to play for a bit. I hear their Dragonlink Grands start at 20K! I'd want to check that out!
We still have snow on the ground (mostly in the back). Skies are clear and bright and brilliantly sunny today. I plan to go out and spend a bit of time tidying up - picking up stray debris and tidying the rock placement along the pathways.
H. said he was planning to get a phone - he'd only be able to use it via a wifi connection for texts and calls but it would be something. He never got back in touch so we don't know the status of that. Never sure about anything. Lather, rinse repeat ad infinitum.
