death and...

i just did our damn taxes. late, but w/one wk to spare. dear god!!!! why?!?!?!?! i'm not an outlaw like aunty rita & uncle henry, who didn't pay their taxes for yrs... should feel relieved, but i'm just exhausted!!!!!! what a pain in the a**!!!!!! that is all for now except that i have lost 10 lbs & we did get our little old man, joe louis page, arthritic canine extraordinarius, or as dad called him as they stopped thru en route back from angie's bd at the coast, "your new ward."
