edenfallingBeen a few days, whoops. Life kind of happened at me a lot.
Anyway, I've been busy at work with... um... there's too much. Lots of stuff, let's leave it at that. And it will continue being lots of stuff, but I feel like Mr. Geniality and I are settling into a new rhythm as he's back from vacation and I'm up at the South Hill office for 3-3.5 hours Wednesday through Saturday so we overlap in person more often. That is definitely helpful.
Church continues to be stressful as we're still dealing with the fallout of various things I will be keeping my mouth shut about because confidentiality.
I'm trying to finish my continuing education for my tax prep job -- or rather, to hit my federally mandated 18 hours -- by the end of September. I have a couple classes that will continue after that date, but Not the IRS wants all employees to hit that target by October 1. I have one self-study thing to complete plus a WebEx class that ends on the 29th, which should put me at 19 hours and I can finish up the other courses whenever.
sholio is hosting a comfort prompt fest, which you should check out. I've written two fills because sometimes writing tiny finger exercises about nice things is exactly what hits the spot, you know?
Um. There's a moderate drought currently hitting Ithaca and surrounding areas, and the City has issued a voluntary water restriction advisory thing. I really need to get around to fixing my leaky toilet, which I have been putting off for several weeks now. *sigh*
Oh, speaking of putting things off! I basically stopped using one of my credit cards in March once I settled in to using my new, better credit card, but I completely forgot to cancel it until I received a bill last week that contained the annual fee. (Like I said, I switched to a new, better card. This one is my first ever credit card, and has the not-great features that tend to accompany baby's first credit card.) So tonight I screwed up my willpower, called customer service, and asked to A) cancel the card and B) have the fee waived because I have not been using the card for six months. It was much less painful than I was afraid of.
And now I'm going to do a bit more tax CE before I hit the sack, because I have a blood donation scheduled for stupid early tomorrow morning and I'd like to be at least moderately awake for that. *wry*
