Juicy news … almost

​I was hoping to share this once she has the job… but It’s too juicy: my daughter, the microbiologist, has an interview coming up for a job at a medical marijuana facility to do quality control. 

My hippie dad is laughing his head off in the great beyond.

Today’s work has been interrupted by

​Today’s work has been interrupted by 

• setting up DMV appt for son
  
• moving laundry around
  
• call to bank about potential fraud but was a legit purchase that I forgot (son’s tuition)
  
• keyboard & mouse & software issues & talking to IT about these things 
  
• taking van to dealership and picking it back up
  
• gym
  
• laying down to rest after starting robot vacuum
  

Despite that, I still finished up my giant 1065, started and finished a tiny brand-new 1041, reviewed open items for another messy client, discussed a 990 with manager, and started another 1041 before laying down. 

What’s distracting me from work today?

• ​Baking bread
  
• Choosing seats for LA flight
  
• Buying tix, coordinating with friends for Nick Shoulders
  
• Planning Japanese shopping day with daughter
  
• Planning move back to Tampa for fall semester
  
• Upcoming board game con that I’m in charge of soc media
  
• Stupid game app

Busy day

Social media post today:

From baking bread … to getting my hair colored and cut … to shopping at a used book store for Lord of the Rings trio of books … to accompanying my mother-in-law to buy a family cemetery plot … to eating ice cream… to admiring my son in law’s collection of sardines. Just a regular day, right? 

I’m exhausted. Who has time to work!

I’m laying down to rest before hubby and I go to a painting class for nerds. 

I didn’t take photos of the cemetery plot. But it had a lovely tree. 

(Answer to a friend about busy day:) 

it started out a not busy day with two things planned — hair and art (see new photo). But the mother in law visit and other things came up. It was never rushed but it just struck me what a lot of amusing and fun and incongruous things in one day.
