Wednesday is for Thrills

Not. Today I have a line up planned. First, finish cleaning up the leaves as we discussed yesterday. Clean up and go to the bakery. This time, buy something to eat. That’s a thrill. Then off to work and prep tax returns. That left me breathless. You too?

Good news, after 10/15 there are no major deadlines till 3/15. That’s like a vacay. Well, sort of. Just more time to stand around with my hands in my pockets.

Weigh in today, 153.5. Which is exactly what I weighed last week. Hence the small celebration. Would have preferred large weight loss but not in the cards. Next week. I would really prefer to lose every week and hit goal because then things change a little and I like that. I would get more and different food. That’s a celebration.

Hey, here’s a bonus. I finally remembered what I did late yesterday morning. Now that I remember, I think it’s weird I forgot. Well, I went to the doctor at 11 am yesterday. Nothing unusual, they call once in awhile and ask me to come in. While there, good timing, I got my flu shot. Zero deductible. Same for the tetanus. They ordered a Shingles shot delivered to my pharmacy because they have none. All this, and I could not remember when blogging. Strange.

Back to Wednesday. I spent an hour picking leaves off the reseeded lawn areas. As I told you, arduous process, can’t use a rake. Pain in the ass. But now done. So if I go out each morning till they sprout the process is just a touch up.

Left the house in the convertible. Getting close to the time I store her for winter. So gotta get my rides in while it’s warm. Top is down. It’s a beautiful day. So off I go. Got as far as the bakery. One quick cinnamon roll. These are not the mall type. More the bakery type with the flavor emphasis on the sweetened raised dough with light icing and cinnamon. The mall rolls are on steroids.

Now off to work. The cinnamon roll lasted about one minute.

I walked in to the office at 1059. My 11 o’clock was waiting for me. He was surprised too.

I worked on his last two returns with the info he brought. Finished all inside 90 minutes. He left happy. Only owes $40K. Ouch.

Well, that’s it. The rest of the day was tax returns. For five hours. Again, it’s tax deadline time and taxes are what I do. So I do them. All day. Duh.

I would like to announce the end of an era, of sorts. Today the escrow company emailed. The first mortgage holder on my office building, for sale, screwed up the demand. Which means they forgot how much they need to ask for. Morons. My title office was cursing and spitting bullets. This has been on the verge of closing sale for about four weeks. Lo and behold, at 345 title called and all was in order. She sent it to record. I called title office at 445. It recorded. I have sold the piece of crap. It’s gone. Praise the Lord!!! So I hung up. Then called the gas co, electric company, water company, and on and on and shut them off. I am done. Love it.

Ride home top down. Much faster than usual. It’s a great day. Not very exciting, Save for the sale of the building. But the day turned out well.

Now dinner done so day is done and I am watching TV. Soon bedtime. And dreams of real estate I don’t own.
