Out like a lamb

wombat_sochoI actually did a lot better than I thought this year. Didn't get anywhere near the 100 returns I did last year, but the 55 returns I got paid for were sufficiently meaty that I'm going to get a bonus check for about $1100. It helped that I didn't give coupons to hardly anybody and had zero overtime.
Had two trips down to Vegas for VA stuff, and I was surprised that they turned around my travel pay from the first appointment quickly enough that it helped pay for the second one. My feet are okay (except for a tiny crack in my left foot) and so is my CPAP machine, although the pulmonary tech advised me to wash the mask and hose more often, suggesting wipes as optimum for the mask.
The season ended for my Senators with a 1-2 series against the division-leading Twins; the Royals went 2-1 against their final opponents and so get the last wildcard slot. Finished the season 79-84, second in my division against the Twins and fourth overall in the AL. Have to wait and see what everyone else's keepers and free agents are before I ask Grok for help in improving the roster. Looks like I have a couple of promising rookies.
It's about time to start working more actively on the convention, I think.
