Cuddy's stay with us was extended one more day. Whew! His daddy is picking him up later this afternoon. Spoke with his daddy, and they have more getaways on the calendar, so our little man will be returning toward the end of April.
Don't know if I've written about this before or not, but we lost our 1099 forms for income tax prep. Another bump in the road, don'tcha know. So, I set up online accounts with Social Security, and activated a LOGIN.gov sign-in option for government sites. Printed off the replacement 1099 and tomorrow will get our tax papers in the mail.
Am always relieved to check another task off my list. Now that we're in the process of spring cleaning here and doing a 7-year spiff-up, I need a list to follow so we tackle one thing each day.
Must get my hair chopped off, hopefully before Easter. Will get hold of the gal who comes to the Venny Salon so she can schedule me in. We're invited up to our nephew's home for dinner on the 8th of April. Oh, how I remember what a big deal a new outfit for Easter used to be. As a little girl, Mom would get me a new hat with a wide ribbon streamer down the back, a new dress, pair of shiny patent leather shoes and white anklets. Easter was the only time I remember getting a whole new outfit.
The holidays have changed, and we have changed. Society has changed, life has changed. About the only thing that remains is the family gathering on the G-clan side. Sadly, I don't have a side.
I put together a spring bouquet for outside our Unit door. Down in storage I resurrected the blue and white vase that one might say is our most special one. Also had these spring flowers tucked away in a tote. Seems like a blink ago that our large Father Christmas adorned our doorway. Some people put bunnies outside their doors, but I'm not an Easter Bunny person. Actually, the Easter decorations are my least favorite of any holiday. Maybe because pastel colors rule, and I'm not a pastel person.At one time I had a large stash of fabric flowers, but now these and my orchids are the only ones left. Everything else has been donated or tossed.
Best comb my hair and look presentable for when Cuddy's daddy arrives. He's the nicest guy. His sweetheart wife is down at her other home in the southern part of the state. She'll be returning in a week or so. I'm sure Cuddy will enjoy being with his Daddy again.
Ta-ta till tomorrow. Stay well, be happy and find something to laugh about.
