This is Not Fun

Nothing much rocked my boat today. The day is yet young and something could still happen, but you know what? I’m okay with boring.

I’ve got the stuff I need to do today still looming. Mainly finishing up our 2023 finances. I’m working on the November statements, so the end is in sight. The deadline is quickly looming to get this stuff to our tax lady. I think it might be March 23rd, so, yes, time is marching on. But I just couldn’t help myself. I had to get away from it even if it is only for ten minutes or so.

I was reminded as I worked on the last statement. I need to get an eye exam this year. I just can’t see the small print anymore. It was ridiculous. I switched off to my computer glasses. I leaned forward endangering my keyboard and whatever I was working on with my boobs. I was squinting. I was shutting both eyes interchangeably.
