I got vanilla bean for on top of holiday pie, marionberry pie, and chocolate hazelnut which I’d never seen before!

2022 tax documents are in to the government!!! Wife somehow estimated our deductions perfectly so we don’t owe (and don’t have to pay a fee?!) and get $500ish back. We are officially caught up on taxes (just in time for Elon musk to disband the IRS, whatever)

You are reminding me that I have something to do related to our 2022 taxes. Basically have to refile them. But I can’t do it without help so that is why I haven’t gotten it done. Congrats to you!

I’m on the other side and it feels so good! I’m rooting for you. If it helps motivate, I wanted to have it wrapped up before the administration change.

Victory.
My new chickens, who had to be put in the coop yesterday by catching them in a bird net (the kind that look like a pool skimmer, v dramatic) have put themselves to bed tonight.
They got it figured on day two. Nice job girls!

I also saw this, but while placing an online grocery order for Thanksgiving food. I was very excited to get vanilla bean ice cream for 10 people.

I did not remember Tilamook came in small sizes :joy: I texted my mom and my sister with a picture, and apparently I need 9 more pints to have sufficient ice cream for Thanksgiving (this is untrue, we also have 3 pie flavors).

The water went out at the main office today, but I was working from a different office so it didn’t affect me. It is still out as of tonight so we are all encouraged to work from home tomorrow which would otherwise be a day I had to go to the main office :muscle:

I did not use the $100 indigo card but looked at stuff and decided to wait until after Christmas to get more value of it.

And booked the day off as a personal day. Got my hair done. Read some of a book.

A very victorious day indeed.

After a rough night of sleep the night before, I went to bed last night at light 8pm? Maybe 8:30? It was great. I woke up at 3AM, fell back asleep after a bit and kept sleeping till 6AM.

This morning I finally looked into those “you can earn rewards” emails my health insurance sends me. At first I thought the rewards were all junk or stuff we didn’t need, but then I saw I can earn Visa gift cards so I’ve had that running in another tab while I do admin tasks this morning. I think the next round of rewards activities opens in January, I’ll need to remember to do this again then.
