You won't have a very long spring then.

[Susan Unger]

You won't have a very long spring then.

Monday will be horrendous at 88 degrees but the week after that it will be 60s and low 70s.

[Susan Unger]

[Marg Shurtliff]

Pray for you daily , Susan . You will make it . I have confidence in you .

Take a five hour energy. That is all the rage now. Don't worry that it will change the way in which your brain will work, making you more dependent on it for those hours that you take it.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Current temp 50º. Supposed to hit 73 º today . Sounds great !!!

[Susan Unger]

Pray for you daily , Susan . You will make it . I have confidence in you .

I appreciate the prayers. It is not confidence that I need, but something deeper. My soul is worn out from some things that have nothing to do with homework.

So modest

Going to bed early as usual for Sunday nights . Last Sunday I was home so early in the afternoon I went back to bed for a while ( which I enjoyed ) and then stayed up to my usual hour and all the extra things I get done Mondays as I 'm up earlier , just didn't get done . Was going to get my income tax done last Monday and didn't so that 's my job tomorrow . Even though they owe me I still like to aim at getting it in on time .

Current temp 58º and there is risk of thunderstorms . Hope not as that could wake me up and BB will go near crazy .

[Susan Unger]

Might go to bed early as well [early for me that is].

Arrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!

It's 80 degrees here and still April! I'm working outside building a second floor loft in a garage attic! There I've vented a bit, although I'm not completely unhappy. I'm going to lose some weight if this keeps up!

As they would say on the three stooges;

Eureka!

You don't smell so good yourself.

[Susan Unger]

Arrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!

It's 80 degrees here and still April!

Me, too!!!

[Jim Chabot]

I hear that it got up to 86 here today. It was well above 100 up in the attic when I was attaching the decking. Ended up going home before I finished because the chills were getting to be too much.

Not sure whether it was dumb luck, luck specifically reserved for poor unfortunate dummys, or perhaps divine providence. Whatever I was the recipient!

As I began to push the sheets of flooring up into the attic, about 70 pounds each. The very first one managed to get away from me. It grazed my head, knocked me off of the ladder and proceeded to land on two $25,000 motorcycles! Further inspection revealed that the sheet had caught the edge of the staircase behind the bikes and bounced off to the side, never touching the bikes! Thanked God for my incredible fortune, forced my heart back down out of my throat and went back to work.

Ouch! Wow, glad everything worked out alright.

9 posts this time . Mine got 21 minutes and 2 hours and 6 minutes .

Finally got my taxes done , in rough . Just have to copy the figures to the forms I send in . Organizing takes most of the time if seems . And the new deduction I can claim with turning 65 last year really threw me . I just figured I'd get the maximum but I don't and that made redoing figures a few times to get things right . Think I'm finally there now and a good sized refund .

My cousin was scrambling yesterday to get her taxes done. She has a BA in accounting. Her father, a former math teacher and tax preparer, called to pester her about not having her taxes done yet. So she asked him if he had his done. His answer? Nope.

Because parents don't understand the meaning of lead by example sometimes. And it shows she takes after her father.

Yup. She claimed she came by her procrastination naturally. As for the first part...who knows if he saw the connection.

Current temp 50º and the high today is supposed to be 52º. What's wrong with this picture ?

Sure is nice having 2 weeks longer for taxes . Hope to do up the good copy today and drop it off at the special mailbox over by the church after church Sunday . No postage necessary .

[Susan Unger]

Much cooler today. Yesterday it was high 80 and now it is 64.

No postage, huh? Not like that here. In fact, forms they used to send via mail must now be gotten from the library, as not even the post office has them (maybe a few that went quickly?). They insist folks send them their tax $$, but don't make it easy as before to have something with which to do them.

As for weather, while some apparently got some nice warm weather esst of us, we had such a windy 60ish yesterday that it felt cooler! Today is supposed to be only low 50s. Ugh!

Anyway, something funny: found a leather purse (never could get used to the feel of plastic), but not like some nice ones found in years past at Goodwill, barely used (eta: have not been able to find them anymore; maybe people are hanging onto them longer these days?). Anywaaaay, here's this one ... I like fringe, it has a neat leather flower, etc. Only trouble is the price, so this is just dreamin' (inside of one I have/like is falling apart from age, so contemplated trying to make a new lining, then started looking online. Oh, my goodness!) . . . .

We are a windy 60ish here today. Many thanks!

[Marg Shurtliff]

7 posts this time . Mine got 1 hour 39 minutes and 6 hours 32 minutes .

Finally got the good copy of my taxes ready , signed and sealed . I think the special mail box is in front of the building where tax department used to before before decentralization of government under Prime Minister Jean Chretien . They moved it to Shawinigan , Quebec . I was glad they left the mailbox as mine would always be extra postage .
We still get the forms , at least for the Special one , sent to us. Its as simple as can be .( 4 pages with 5 other sheets you worked out your figures on that you attach ) Its the calculations that can throw you , with odd percentages like 5.05% aand other even odder ones . Had to change calculators as the one I started with must be losing battery life as only partial numbers were coming through . 4's were especially bad . Nice to have it all done and 12 days early though it won't hit the mail drop till 8 days before !!

Back to doing homework...but much more enjoyable this session than the last one.

[Steven Burton]

Good. I always hated home work when I was in school. But now that I am out I do my homework daily (meaning stuff that would have been required reading during school I actually do now). I actually read the books used for World Civilization one summer after I took the class. I never did read it when I was in the class. For some reason when someone tells me to do something I tend to not do it. But if they recommend something I will usually take a look at it.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Got a bit of a shock when I checked the temp - 32º with wind chill of 25º. I had hoped we'd stay above freezing now but guess that's not going to happen . Can I say "bah humbug "?

Oh yeah, I am the same way. Tell me it is an assignment and suddenly a wonderful book becomes drudgery.

Wow Marg - that's seems quite cool for April.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Guess I had my hopes too high thinking we'd have an early spring since we have had some great weather in March . Now its 29º with the wind chill at 21º , After all it is only April ! It could still snow !

Why yes you can! It's just not the same without the snow.

[Jim Chabot]

Out for 7 hours last night at a funeral mass, and hour and a half north of here. Rather large Anglican church, there were over 700 people in attendance. The young man was a few months short of ordination as a priest and they pulled out all of the stops, with the Bishop presiding over the mass, big pointy hat, flowing robes and a giant cane, the whole magilla! So I got a bit of exposure to Anglican liturgy, I must say that it is seductive in the majestic picture that they form of God. The communion rite was a little spooky for me, too close to transubstantiation for me, so I stayed put.

One thing that really struck me was that these folks don't consider themselves to be protestants. Quite odd, I think.
