I got my tax information together, sorted, counted, and printed. When my wife came down this morning, she found me hard at work at the computer. I explained that she'd told me that we needed the report ready this morning.
From the way she rolled her eyes, I don't think she was all that impressed.
I haven't pulled an all-nighter in decades. I don't recommend it.
It did give me some remarkable sensations, though. This morning, after sunrise, my teeth felt heavy, and I could feel the weight of my cheeks. Fascinating!
My wife and I went to the clinic for checkups around midmorning. Routine stuff, except that in my case it was to see how my diabetes is doing. The doctor says that most people do as badly at controlling sugar levels and all that at this point, as I have.
That's a comforting thought, sort of.
Also, I lost five pounds. Not bad.
I slept through most of the afternoon, and intend to start catching up now.
Hold it! I nearly forgot the ducks.
It's a beautiful day, which might explain why I saw a duck and a drake strolling across a street downtown, around noon.
It won't be too long, before love-struck ducks will be a traffic hazard near the lake.

Wednesday: Tax Time Comes
April 15 is coming.
Like many other Americans, I'm scrambling to get information together for tax preparation. My wife gave me until tomorrow morning, to put my 2007 expense report together, so I'll defer today's entry until tomorrow.

Tuesday: and Monday, Too
It snowed yesterday. Big, beautiful, white flakes of snow came down, slowly, all day. It's melting again today, but we had a winter reprise for a while.
Our son brought fruit snacks to share at school, to celebrate his birthday. I'm told that some of the kids like them, some didn't.
I slept for much of the morning yesterday, catching up from a weekend of work and family get-together. I still feel rather, well, relaxed.
Today about the same, except I didn't oversleep. Our son went to school and returned, #3 daughter did her studies here at home, my wife talked with #2 daughter on the phone, I got a bulletin to the printers, helped that small publishing company I worked for with their website, picked up 2007 medication records for the April 15, and realized that I have to get the 2007 business expenses put together. I've got the information: it's just not organized.
On the positive side, I don't have to wonder what I'll be doing tomorrow morning.
One of our neighbors came over this afternoon. Apparently, I've got a fan or two. Her husband and mother like my "Brendan's Island" website: particularly "Sauk Centre Journal" and the webcam that looks out on the street. She wanted the URLs, so I wrote them down on the handiest thing around: a (clean) Styrofoam plate, left over from the family get-together.
There's a school referendum vote coming up later this month, and we got a call from someone, talking about the issue: one of these calling campaigns. She asked me how I would vote. I hemmed and hawed a bit, so she prompted me by suggesting that I might be undecided. I replied with something like, 'well, undecided sounds classier than clueless, so I'll go with that.'
