Have you noticed all the things popping out of the ground? This time every year I get hyper aware of what is stating to grow and then get all sorts of exited when I see a new flower or weed for that matter, emerge from the brownish still thawing ground. And then my brain and body knows it’s only just a few weeks away that there will be green everywhere and all of a sudden it will be summer. Excited as hell for the green. Not so much summer. I just really don’t want to be hot.
So have you filed your taxes yet? This past week was the week we had an appointment with the accountant but I ended up canceling it. It’s not that I haven’t thought a lot about them, even attempted to maybe get them finished but you know what, I decided that I am filing an extension and so yeah. They are not done and sure I feel a little relief that I am not rushing but also a little annoyed that I have extended the dread for longer. My new goal date is May 15. I’ll get my shit together by then.
Other then not finishing our taxes, the week was alright. I basically spent most of my time making and or glazing pots and taking pictures to update the shop. The mr has started back to working like a crazy guy again so he has been gone all day every day doing some big restaurant kitchen remodel so I haven’t seen much of him. I did get to see Megan and commiserate with her on her 40th birthday.HA! I also started repotting some of the plants around the house (I ran out of soil) and I went for my first real bike ride of the season! Oh does my bike need a tune up!
Sunday! The mr and I are hoping to do a little something outside today. Its been raining a lot so all the trails are pretty muddy (it’s actually bad for the trails to walk on them in mud season), but I think we will be able to find a nice outdoor something to do. I am feeling a little stir crazy, feeling the call of the woods hard. I need to be outside!
