As a follow up...

I have now pretty much managed to get everything done that I had planned to do yesterday :p Well, I could work on HIAS some more, I suppose, but that's a given. I've felt really drained and cranky all day, save for a few highlights. The weather was gorgeous today, and I biked home, then took Jola for a long walk along bee creek. I ventured further down along the creek and found where that path sort of hooks up with some parts of the botanical gardens. There is als a shortcut to c=goodwill down that was, so extra score. On a whim, I let J run off lead for a bit, and she was good, never getting too far out of site and more or less coming when I called her, without harassing anyone. She was bounding all in and out of the creek (the muddy, algae riddled creek -_-), which was super adorable also. And she then proceeded to roll in lots of grass to dry/clean herself off. How considerate! The chowder I made last night turned out pretty tasty, even if it is not as thick and creamy as I was hoping. My lemon cake is moist and dense and delicious.

So there's that.

Nevertheless, I'm feeling tired and cranky. Part of it may be the fact that I didn't get to sleep until late last night. I think there is more though. Not that I can be helpfully specific :p I don't know, but I feel very emotionally drained and my patience is not what it should be. Maybe it really is just rehashing all these tax problems. Ugh. Maybe I should aim to go to bed early.
