Day 3 of 10:
After a harrying couple of weeks at school, I have tried to plan on doing fun and interesting things during Spring Break....Here's what's happened since Saturday:
Day 1: Saturday. Slept in until 1 (14 hours worth of sleep--i guess I was exhausted because normally I get up around 9 or 10 after going to bed at 1 or 2...)
Got up, toddled around the apartment and fiddled around online. Ate food. Cleaned up a bit of apartment for guest--Moore. Took Shower. Dressed up for Symphony. Went to symphony!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL as always (the music that is). Then had yummy Applebees and had fun with friends.
Day 2: Sunday
while having reset the time for Spring Forward, I forgot to turn the alarm clock on. However, we still made it to Church and had a yummy lunch at Joe's. At which point Scholl went to LU with friends and I went home where I could be productive like--cleaning up his dirty dishes and making lemon bars and snickerdoodles. Then I headed over to our church college/career dinner which was delicious and fun as usual. Afterwards, a little bit of gaming fun.
Day 3: Monday
I didn't get to sleep in because being the over-caring teacher I'd had a jury summons deferred until Spring Break so I wouldn't lose instructional time. So, I spent all morning at the courthouse. I tried to arrive late enough to be turned away....not so lucky. They split us up for three court trials this week and I got selected for mine. I'll post thoughts on the whole selection process after the trial is over tomorrow. It was ....interesting.
After having lunch with my husband, a rare treat during the week, I headed over to H&R Block to get our taxes done. (I have refer a friend certificates that will get the friend and us each $15 for anyone interested....) It's well worth the $100 to not try and figure them out myself and have to buy turbotax. That, and instead of me stressing over it for two hours, I let someone else do all the work... and lo and behold, miracle of miracles, we somehow ended up with a rather tidy refund again this year. I think it had something to do with our max deduction on student loan interest (we paid 2.5 times what we're allowed to deduct...) and neither of us took any deductions during the year with our paychecks. So, we're getting a refund way more than I had figured on. Thank you Lord!!!!
What will we do with said refund? Buy computer speakers and pay off more debt.
That's Spring Break so far. Not so restful except for that saturday morning as you see. Oh well, I have had a bit of fun so far. Tomorrow I have the jury duty which I hope doesn't take all day....and it does earn me $40....
