Finally got my taxes done Fri. Feels good to have that done and in the bag. Last year I spent my entire federal refund getting the taxes done. Yeah, I wasn't getting much. But this year, I decided to go to a free tax assistance place. I found it on the AARP website.
They were patient with me and my creative bookkeeping style. I actually get to keep my refund. Again not much but it's mine, mine, all mine!. I did find out that you don't need to be a senior citizen to take advantage of these services. These folks are volunteers but "qualified" accountants and you don't have to pay anything.
I was trying, yet again, on an on-line tax service and according to it I owed money. It gets me so confused because I do itemize and it just makes me crazy, so I'm glad I found this. Whew!
On a sad note, we, as a country, had another senseless shooting at a school. I'm so proud of these surviving students banning together and starting a movement against our lax gun control laws.
It breaks my heart that nothing has been done about gun control in our country even after so darn many tragic events. Since those in charge aren't listening to the adults, these children are going up to engage them. Bravo! Rise up children, we are behind you.
March 24, 2018. This is the date they have chosen to stand, march and take action to be heard. Many will be eligible to vote in the next elections. Prepare for a change.
I took the same classes this last weekend and my feet, especially the left one did well. I may have pushed too much, but my left knee (popliteal cyst) really acted up. Oh well. I was pleased to be able to do the 1000's (well, thats what it felt like) of lunges that were in the barre class Fri. Not too long ago I couldn't hold myself in a lunge because of my foot.
I think I'll send a note to the ortho Dr. in a couple of weeks to let him know that I have gotten some strength back in the foot. Butthead.

I ended up getting sick last week, all week. By the time I got home last Mon. afternoon (early) I had a temp. of 100.4 and 2 hrs later it went up to 101.5! Miserable. I was bundled up in jammies, a bathrobe, my fuzzy slippers, a doubled blanket and the heat on to 80 degrees in the house and I was still having chills. I awoke the next morning soaking wet as was my bed. I didn't leave the house 'til Fri. Only for a couple of hours, then back into jammies, et al. I never had the temp in the house that high again, thankfully, after Mon. I'm back to healthy again. I missed taking class last week but knew it wasn't a good idea to even try.
I don't believe it was the flu but more of the usual sinus/bronchitis thing 'cuz I wasn't achy, but I am better and looking forward to feeling human again.
Remember folks, if you're sick, stay home. Cover your mouth when you cough, wash your hands often, stay hydrated and warm. Your bodys' increase in temperature is its way to fight the infection, to burn it out. Your colleagues, clients and your own body will thank you for it.

For myself, I try not to take anything to break the fever since it does have a purpose but did, finally, because of the sinus headache I got along with some antihistamines because of the single nostril drip I had going keeping me awake. I had to do it.
I've had this same thing almost every year since moving here to Tucson. |
My former place of employment made us go to the Dr. if we were out for more than 2 days, and each time it was the same thing, Claritan-D and ibuprofen. So I saw no reason to change this time.
Well, stay healthy and keep dancing. Peace out!
