a long week in the tax mines
Feb. 10th, 2024 10:11 pmIt's been a pretty busy week. I haven't looked at the dashboard lately to see how many returns I've finished so far, but I do know that my schedule has been full (or nearly so) of half-hour appointments, and even if they're simple $89 returns, it does add up. For whatever reason, I find I'm just as mentally exhausted after a 7-hour shift here as I was last year after 8-9 hours. Maybe I'm actually getting old, maybe I'm just feeling the effects of the 5-HTP and L-theanine wearing off at the end of the shift.
I need to start doing a better job of watching my diet. Weighed in at 397 this morning, and BG have been rising into the normal range more often as well.
Returned the excess work shirts to the UPS store off US-50 in Carson City, ran the new pants through the laundry this morning after crashing very early Friday night* and forgoing blogging, and learned to my disgust that they don't have the phone pockets of the earlier versions. Also stripped the Otterbox off the phone & trashed it after getting frustrated because I couldn't turn the phone back on after turning it off. It was falling apart anyway.
Tomorrow is Sunday, so I'm only in the tax mines from 12-5. Not going to bother with the Super Bowl, since IDGAF about the Chiefs or the 49ers or all the bullshit drama about Taylor Swift - although I'm sure Twitter will keep me posted regardless. Might go out and do some Ingress. Might stay in and do reading. Might splurge on an expensive dinner. We'll see what happens.
*Didn't help that I had to stop at the Walmart last night for more yogurt, Q-tips, some clearance rack doughnuts (which weren't worth it), windshield washer fluid, and a copy of Spy X Family: Family Portrait, which I thought was a manga but instead is a light novel. So far it's not bad.
