One more work day until it’s vacation time…..I am SO ready!
This has been a pretty good week and not real busy. Both Monday and Tuesday evenings were spent at home doing chores and doing things on my laptop. Plus, there have been no accidents to assist with and no motorist assists. I usually get at least a couple of motorist assists a week, but so far I have had nothing. My little amber strobe beacon that I usually keep on the bed of my truck is not working for some reason, so yesterday I took it off and put it in my garage. I really need to wash my truck because it is really filthy.
Stephen finally got the keys to his apartment yesterday. Once again, he is going to have a roommate (which I don’t think is a good idea because he seems to have bad luck with roommates), so we will see what happens. The way I understand it, they both work different shifts so they won’t see much of each other anyway. He wanted to move his bed, couch and TV there last night, but one of his buddies from work that said he would help him move, backed out. I was busy at church last night, so I could not help him. This evening I can’t help either because I have a REACT Board meeting after work. I will be available tomorrow evening, so he may just have to wait for me. Hopefully, he can get some help tonight and get some of his stuff moved. I know he is getting tired of sleeping on our couch and we are ready for him to be on his own again.
Taxes…gotta love’em. We actually got our taxes done over a week ago, but they still showed Stephen as one of our dependents….and he should not be since he is not living with us permanently. So, I had to drop the taxes back off to the CPA so they could make the correction. We weren’t getting much back to begin with and with them taking him off as one of our dependents, we will either get less back, or we will owe. They haven’t called us yet to tell us the outcome, but I do dread the news. I actually did Gayla’s taxes myself through a website called taxhawk.com. It was pretty simple, especially since she has only had two jobs and no deductions. Stephen is on his own for his taxes.
Gayla has also been very busy trying to qualify for college scholarship money. She plans on going to OBU, but that is a very expensive school, so she will need all the help she can get. We are going through avenues to get her scholarship money. I haven’t seen much of her this week because of her school and work. Next week is Spring Break, she is out of school and I took a week’s vacation. I am going to help Andrew some at the church with the students, but I am mainly going to try to get stuff done around the house…plus, I might see if a buddy of mine that owns a radiator shop will let me work some for him for part of the week. The extra money will come in handy.
Well, some of my REACT team is going to meet at Shorty Smalls for dinner this evening before we have our Board meeting.
