mdlbear | The weekend so far (Reply)

Sorted the banking and investment stuff for taxes -- most of it goes straight to the archive box, since I separate out the tax forms when they arrive, but sometimes I miss something. Spent most of the day when I wasn't procrastinating or doing other things (see below) doing the initial data-entry. I always start with the check registers; the one I've been looking for for the last couple of months -- basically April through November -- turned up lurking in the bottom of the folder it was supposed to be in. Apparently it's been avoiding me.

We're spending the day sitting Amanda while Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff go house-hunting. Mostly flower_cat; she's much better at amusing four-year-olds than I am.

For about an hour in the morning, went with the Younger Daughter to her school, which was holding their annual "Arts on the Green" showcase for many of the performance groups. Not her intermediate drama class, but she did have to rendezvous with the rest of the team she's working with for her science class. (Only one other kid out of the four showed up, so not much got done.)

After a small lunch I went out for my walk. And after that, I took the Older Daughter, chaoswolf, out for her first driving lesson. This consisted of half an hour or so of driving in circles in an empty parking lot, but felt a lot longer. I wasn't nearly as nervous as I expected to be, perhaps because you can't do much damage at 10 mph. I don't think it was much like the Wolfling expected it to be, either. But nothing was damaged, and the Wolfling got a little bit of time behind the wheel. We're giving her 6 hours of professional lessons as soon as we can make the arrangements.

This evening is a house filk at Kanef's, and between now and then I get to start on the credit-card receipts (mostly from Fry's). What fun! :-P
