Taxes are ready to be mailed out. I owe $113. Argh. But it's better than last year, and I'll be in a position to pay it by the time stuff has to be mailed out.
Bread is rising on the back of the oven. Whole wheat this time. I'll make a couple loaves of white bread either later tonight or tomorrow.
Commando grocery raid done. (No, not the kind without panties.) Budget's almost nil this week, so we did the inventory of the pantry and figured out what we could cook with the absolute minimum of money spent at the grocery. $19.07 later, we are all set for the week, including a little splurge on some Cadbury minieggs and a lucky find of on-sale cat litter. I'm going to post the meal plan to my frugality community later this week. If you're interested in seeing how two girls eat semi-gourmet food on roughly $20 and what's left in the pantry, I'm happy to put it here.
Grades are done for UoP. I'm waiting on some papers to come in tomorrow night and then I'll grade them Monday or Tuesday so I can get my feedback reports up before I leave town Thursday.
One load of laundry done and put away, one in the dryer, jeans heading into the washer as soon as Bun wakes up from her Nyquil nap and I can bang around in the bedroom without disturbing her.
Still to be done tonight or tomorrow:
Muffins baked
Potatoes boiled for potato salad
Potato salad made
Litterboxes cleaned
Brownies baked
Couple more loads of laundry done
Bun's in a really bad way with The Crud, so I think tonight I will probably be in the living room by myself for a few hours. I want to clip some new collage materials and organize my box of collage supplies. I haven't been doing much work with them of late because they are such a mess. I also badly need a pedicure, so perhaps I'll clip collage materials with my feet in a bubbling foot spa. While watching a Rush or Blue October concert.
Yes, yes....sounds nice....

I lost most of my day today. Bun spent about 8 hours in the ER yesterday with shortness of breath. All those hours and $480 later and they tell us the tests show nothing, it's probably just seasonal allergies gone a little wild. Then two dehydrated, exhausted, hungry, stressed girls get into the car to drive home and you can imagine how that ended up. Lots of tears and late night talking things over, and a sleepy pair of girls this morning. We got up and went and got some lunch then came home to nap. Bun's supposed to be taking it easy for a few days -- they took so much blood she doesn't have a choice, really -- but I have no excuse except physical and emotional exhaustion. So I'm already behind the 8 ball on everything I've got to accomplish, which is not really helping my stress levels. I'm going to put up my to-dos for the next week, and I'm going to organize them into categories to see if that makes me a bit saner.
This coming week is likely the last big push on the job search, or at least the academic portion of it, so that should at least keep me a bit saner in the coming month. The fact that March is likely to be a tight money month (with no UoP check) is something I'm not really thinking about right now.
