Taxes were a kick in the nuts.

Please tip the writer. Whatever amount you like-every little bit helps, and I’ll do a shoutout. We are always short of cash, especially with a big mortgage. Let me know if you or someone you know needs web design/development-my rates aren’t bad, and I’m more than pretty good at it. Java/database/AWS/UI too. ThankYouVeryMuch!

Should I just call this one “title tbd”? That’s how I feel…Don’t really want to anything. Not a thing. Everything is a mess, and I daydream before I go to sleep. On the bright side, my oldest son has a part-time job, and our t’ai chi practice is going well. But money is short, and I’m tired of cleaning our apartment over and over. So, narrative only…

Thursday, almost time to go.

Friday, on the train. Up early, hopefully leave early. Won’t know until it happens. Not much new going on-there were alpacas at work yesterday. Not many people at gamelan. Hard to get motivated to clean the house this week. Finished the book I was reading-that was a slog…

Monday-2 meetings I thought were today are tomorrow. Got hit with a blast of stuff. Pretty quiet weekend-tidy, run around, church-no E, but M, w/o-knee and hip improving. We are through the long Yang t’ai chi form! 113 moves-we’re still a little fuzzy on the last bit, but we got through it yesterday.

This is pretty cool…

On the train, Weds. morning. Tired-woke up early dehydrated-E says I was snoring. Good w/o, S did the treadmill and elliptical-she needs to improve her running for the Olympiad-she did well-heart rate up around 137 for a good while, almost 60 minutes walking, a little running, elliptical. I tweaked my shoulder doing chin-ups-I’ve never been able to do them, but I can get 4-5 now, except for the shoulder thing. We forgot one of the last moves in t’ai chi-I think it will go like that for awhile. But it took us 3 months to learn it, so there’s that.

Monday morning. Very tired, with a dry mouth-that means I probably snored, but E didn’t say anything. I’m going to go in for a checkup-we’ll see. My hip seems better today-3 weeks of no running… Weekend was OK-house is tidied Saturday. M got a job at Wunderland. Church Sun. & shop. A thing Weds. W/o’s were fine, S declined Sun., we got all the way through t’ai chi with only a couple of hiccups. It’s 4 and I’m still tired.

Thursday afternoon-very busy day. Same ‘ol, short of $$$, trying to keep the house tidy-E did a thing with new chest of drawers, etc. She also did a cute thing with curtains. My stuff is the same, except I put the Kronos on a bench rather than the stand, so the bench has a home. It’s not bad-using a paint bucket for a stool. I like my storage arrangements. But the Stick and tabla need to be fixed, and the rest of my old gear needs to be sold, and the outside closet needs tidying. Anyways, w/o Tue., no M-he worked out in the morning, no S-she did twice and that’s it-she needs to up her fitness, but I can’t order her to do it. Got through the whole t’ai chi with only a few pauses. Saw M at work-it’s sweet to see your kid all grown up and such. Gamelan last night-the same-we have a 1 piece gig next Sun.

Here we are, Tues., noonish. Pretty busy juggling a number of tasks. Usual weekend. M is working a lot of hours.

And now Weds., so tired. My workout clothing wasn’t dried so I had to wait until it was out-9:20 start, 10:35 end-M texted me. I did a faster t’ai chi-12 mins vs. 20. I have the last problematic move figured out. Started eating at 11, shower and bed at 12:30. ack. Gamelan tonight.

Gonna call it. It’s the next Tuesday. I did my taxes-that was a kick in the nuts. Gamelan gig Sun., had to work all weekend, got some stuff done, had to pick up C from NE, I was seriously dribbling by the time I got home-no W/O, bed early, E gave me a sleep aid and I promptly snored all night long. Notre Dame burned the roof off and the spire fell. Construction accident-gonna take years to rebuild. S has spring break.
