Hello! Today is another brrrrrrr cold day! Our low is supposed to be 17 with a high in the low 30’s, so all the pups get to stay in today. It’s just TOO cold for them to be outside! I got up early to take them all out to do the “necessary business” while I filled water buckets up and changed out soiled bedding. Then everyone happily came back in. I’ll have to repeat all that when I get home tonight — lots of extra work for me, but at least I’m not looking at months of it; just a few days worth.

Got the SC D of R forms for income tax filing in the mail yesterday. I won’t get W2’s for a few weeks yet, so it’s too early to be thinking about income tax filing just yet. It will become one of those necessary evils soon enough. Ma is so lucky to not have to file any more! I really wish the government would do away with income tax and go to some kind of Federal Sales tax. It seems like that would not only be fairer, but less onerous to manage. Of course it would put all those IRS workers out of jobs. Ditto for State IT.

Well, it’s time to go crank the car up so that it’s warm for my drive to work this morning. MAYBE I won’t forget my lunch today — I forgot it yesterday and Ken was so sweet to have made it for me, too!

Love to all,

Margaret
