Running Around Like a Blue Arsed Fly!

Yesterday was busy and very stressful - but I got through it and finally had a nice cold beer at 4:00 p.m.

You know that I am a terrible procrastinator and I was still typing up information for our income taxes at 8:00 a.m. It all had to be done for my appointment at 11:00a.m in Pomona. I just had enough time to jump in the shower and fly out of the door with a large folder of mysterious papers under my arm.

As I told you, George died in October so I saw his daughter, Karen. She seems nice enough but I don't think she knows the business like George did. Anyway, after an hour and a half of paper shuffling and asking me lots of questions - the result is that I owe the Feds $4,800. ARGHHHHHH! Boy that cuts into my beer money! So, now I am going to get hold of the Social Security and have them start taking taxes out of my pension or I will get done again next year.

I stopped at a coffee shop in Pomona - The Iron Skillet- and had some scrambled eggs and coffee for lunch - the eggs were delish - the coffee like cat piddle!

I came back to the house and decided to look up air fares to England so that I can go and visit Anjo Banjo in May/June. British Airways want $1, 380 plus airport tax and baggage fee! WHAAAAT! Anyway, I put a message on the internet and a friend in Canada has found me a much cheaper fare by going LA to Toronto - Toronto to Manchester for $550 I shall be looking into it - although my passport hasn't come back yet - so I may not be going anywhere!

I had an appointment with Joe - the lawyer - at 3:00 p.m. to finalize my will. He has also done all the paper work to change the deed of the house into my name only. I feel good that that job is done - he only charged me $250 for the lot. He is such a nice bloke.

So, by 4:00p.m. I could finally go down to the pub and catch my breath. What a day.

Today, I go back to the dentist - drilling - crowning - cleaning - just general torture. But Dr. Dimitri is very nice and I'm trying not to be nervous.

I love you and miss you and I hate having to do all this work alone when I have a daughter that could help me - but no - I think the relationship has finally ended and I won't see her again. I cry every day over that.

Do you remember when we went to San Diego and I think that S took this picture while we were sneaking a bit of bum squeezing! I miss you so much xxxxxx
