A glimmer of hope

[wombat_socho]

So I spent about six hours on the clock today working on sundry returns, calling clients to discuss their returns, and firing off messages and e-mails to other clients whose documents were incomplete or nonexistent. So far I have 27 returns done/paid for (really 25 because mine doesn't count and I comped the one I did for #1 Son)and I figure my chances of hitting 100 like I did last year are slim and none. At least I have 30 hours on the clock this last pay period, and a good chance of getting another thirty in the upcoming short week before April 15.

Tomorrow I'm going to make an effort to get outside since I didn't today. Going to skip going downtown for pizza and mail, just going out to get some sun, throw out garbage, see if any cans of Arizona Diet Green Tea came in to Raley's on the Friday truck. It's not like there's anything in the mail I really need to see before next Thursday anyway. Maybe I'll slap together a breakfast pizza to nosh on while I'm working.

Looking doubtful whether I'll be going East next month, and I said as much in an email replying to one Brian sent me earlier in the week in a much delayed response to one I'd sent him last year about helping with towing a (almost certainly inoperable) Toaster from a dealer in Bunker Hill WV, speaking of projects that probably won't pan out. Cash flow is part of it, of course; I am still carrying a stupid amount of credit card debt from Confinement and need to work that down before Son of Silvercon. Got three hotel rooms to pay for, after all, plus the care and feeding of our Guest of Honor and his lovely wife.

Back when things were slow (like, earlier this month/late March) I started going through old entries from LJ that got moved here and re-tagging them, since so many of them are unhelpfully tagged "my life". Like, who else's would they be? I mean, there are a couple of entries Melody made while I was in various hospitals, but even those are about me being in the hospital. Something to keep myself busy with come May, I guess.

Had to re-edit this post several times because using multiple user names screwed up the HTML somehow. *shrug*
