Spring continues to sprong.

So, evil tax day is tomorrow. after much hassle (mostly with getting my printer to work to print out the myriad forms I have to mail in) I have completed all the tax forms, printed them out, signed and dated, wrote the check, and put them into the envelope ready to be posted tomorrow to the evil gnomes of the taxachusetts department of revenue. I'm getting a small refund on my federal taxes, and efile was free for federal, that got sent in via e-file.

Yesterday morning, there was only one small patch of snow left around the house, and it was gone when I left for work this morning. So Winter is finally over at my house. Hurrah! Time to put the snowblower away for the summer, and get the lawnmower out for the summer.

My dad's condition is still poor. The UTI is kicking his butt, and he is accumulating fluids in and around his lungs and is in "minimal CHF", so need to manage that better. Back on nothing by mouth, so all nutrition via the stomach tube. I hope his condition improves, but it's hard to keep optimistic sometimes.

Had a nice furmeet on saturday up at the Pinball Wizard Arcade in Pelham, NH. They have a bunch of pinball and video games from the 70s and 80s. But no Tank Commander game. *pouts* The pizza place next door is also extremely good.

And for my own memories. I put my tax return in the mailbox in front of the house the morning of april 15. Of course, shortly after I left for work, the phone company closed my street because they were replacing a rotten pole. So no mail service that day. By the time I got home, late that night, and discovered that my return was still in my mailbox, the only post offices still open were all the way in Boston. So I put it in the drop box in front of my town's post office and I'm crossing my fingers that they won't penalize me for having it postmarked the 16th. arrrgh.

Memo to self. Always mail my tax returns into the post office drop box at the post office in the future.
