It was an OK morning as Mary was still feeling poorly! Off to the office we went with the plan to finalize the IRS stuff and go to the post office to mail this year’s paperwork.
Since we were going to be near our workout place, we pulled a mess of corn fresh from the plants and took it to the gym for the staff.
We talked to our accountant before we departed and suggested we drive down to his office to see him to avoid mail/email delays! So we got into The Silver Fox, and off we went to the post office, the gym, the accountant, and finally CVS to collect this week’s meds. It was a wild ride, and since it was warm, I put the top down!
Getting Mary in the car was easy!
Running errands was easy, except for the accountant. He had prepared two packages of information for us to send to the IRS. Apparently, the IRS lost all of our 2024 tax records; therefore, they wanted us to file the returns, give them the money AGAIN, and charge us a penalty for being late!
We fooled them; between our accountant and us, we had all the records and receipts, including the registered mail receipts showing they received everything.
We were home by 1:00 pm, and Mary went to her “sick happy place” in the TV room and worked on her Christmas presents while I fixed lunch.
We spent the rest of the day at home watching TV, working in the office, and hoping Mary recovers.
I fixed dinner, and Mary was feeling good enough to rise from the couch and came to assist me in the kitchen, washing the dishes. I think she is feeling better!
We watched the end of “Resident Alien,” and at 10:00 pm, we were in bed.
