A few minutes ago I e-filed my 2023 Federal taxes, and I've already received a text and an email letting me know the IRS has accepted my filing. In a few days or weeks my little tax refund should be deposited in my personal checking account It's always a relief to have completed that annual chore.

I woke this morning thinking that today was Sunday, and immediately began stressing over how much work had to be done in preparation for Monday, which is going to be time-compressed by a lengthy doctor's appointment. When I realized that today is Saturday, not Sunday, I breathed a sigh of relief. There is plenty of time to do what needs to be done.

Friday morning and all is well in the Roscoe-verse. Highs in the mid-70s to start this weekend.
Was glad to see the flag pole out front still standing when I woke this morning. But heavy winds and storms are due later today, so I've brought the flag in. When the new hardware arrives today, I'll be ready to reset the flag pole bracket again. When the rains stop and the winds die down, maybe later this weekend.

Well, this Thursday has just flown by! The only unusual chore I tackled today was remounting the flag pole in my front porch. This was another temporary mount. I have hardware ordered from Amazon that “should” allow me to make it more permanent. Until that happens I'll have to haul the flag inside whenever we have a big wind.

Today I linked my Standard Notes app to the big Debian laptop back in my room. Now I'm one step closer to replacing Google Keep with SN. Next step will be setting up SN folders. By the end of February I plan to have that step completed.

Listening to the pregame show of tonight's IU Hoosiers vs Iowa Hawkeyes. I'll stay with the radio broadcast of this game until it's over, then I'll start shutting things down and get ready for bed.
It's been a good Tuesday, though I thought it was Wednesday early in the morning. Got my weekly laundry done today, and mailed out the February rent.

Mid-afternoon Monday and no complaints about the day so far. The early morning Doctor's appointment went well, even though the nature of that appointment was changed without telling me in advance.
Hopefully I'll be able to handle next week's appointment as well.

What a slow Sunday this has been! I've done little more than eat and watch football on TV.
Did have a nice phone conversation with a brother Knight I've not talked with in nearly a year.
Tomorrow morning early I report for lab work.

This Saturday is unfolding nicely. Last night's pretty good sleep helped, I'm sure. The hips are lass painful and more stable than they've been recently, and I've already handled some of the chores I'd set for myself.

I won this Correspondence Chess game today, catching the Black King with a nifty Queen-Bishop-Knight Combination Checkmate.
