it’s Columbus Day!! I know some moron decided to call this indigenous peoples day. But, he is a moron. Us Italians still celebrate Italian American heritage day aka Columbus Day. Everyone else can stick it.
As a celebration, Marika and I went to the gym. Today is a big day for me. I have a new trainer. And she has big plans to make me “shake and sweat”. I told her not to hold her breath. She is like 5’1” and 100 lbs. and a competitive body builder. My last trainer was 6’ + and 230 lbs. Quite the difference.
Her workout was different from my usual by about 75%. There were a couple kettlebell exercises and the rest completely new. I had told her I was ready for anything. Which I am. Almost all the exercises were difficult but nothing to challenging. But I admit, I did sweat hard which I never did prior.
I am going to withhold judgment for a few days. Eventually we will see which trainer is best. Pam, her name, is far more enthusiastic.
Emily stayed home from work today. Aforementioned holiday is a day off in her district. She has some things planned but I know not what. No matter. I am going to work, Marika is going hiking in Truckee and Emily something else.
I have the tax deadline tomorrow to worry about. All I will be doing is pushing to get tax returns done. Do I have any work? I had three clients waiting when I got in this morning. 3. Yikes, and none had an appointment. Bunch of losers. I handled them one by one. Took a couple hours. First was fast and easy. Second was my overly needy brother in law. He needs a lot of help. Paperwork is not his forte. Selling equipment is his thing. So I pretty much do everything involving accounting and taxes for him. At least he knows he is no good at it. That does make it easier. For both of us.
The last client left before I was finished with my in law. She called and said she took off cuz she knew “that guy was needy and would take awhile.” Funny. Guess that’s obvious. I told her he was a decent guy just required some attention. She wasn’t mad and wasn’t worried. She dropped off her info for me to do later.
I did quite a few different things after last person left. Many varied and sundry things. Scanned and sent a few edible forms. Need signatures to file. One owes me a very large sum and he is filing 9 tax returns. I receive his refund direct so I interested in his signature.Emily has called a little earlier and was holding diner for me and Marika. She was not yet home. By 730 I was out the door with three returns worth of info to prep after dinner.
Marika was home by the time I got home at quarter past eight. Em had tacos ready to go plus a plate of cookies. We got table ready and went right for dinner. Food was great which is what happens when you leave Wm alone all day. A good outcome.
Immediately after dinner I went to work. Has to finish, and did, the 3 returns I brought home. Actually, one needs plenty info and I can collect in am. Other two are done.
Everyone was in bed by the time I finished. Sad. But I’m in bed now. Tomorrow will suck I’m sure.
