(no subject)
Inspired a bit by Escapade, I'm going to try to post here at least once a week.
It was so lovely to see familiar faces and names and new, active persons, and to hear their voices. I now seem to have a Discord account. I don't really have a new fandom, but I've watched Old Guard and listened to enthusiasm about it, and well, they are immortals. Sad immortals, but they must have had fun at some point in their long and bloody lives. I've found a streaming site for the Guardian with subtitles, so if I can manage it, I'd like to watch a few episodes. The vids made them look so charming together.
We're undergoing a change in our caretakers staff. I fired the old agency, though they had provided some lovely and competent people. They also screwed up on a regular basis and the woman who ran the place was unbearable. I now have two privately employed CNAs during the week and a new agency to provide workers on the weekend and when needed to fill in. Mom seems to enjoy the company. Florida continues to be uninteresting and a difficult place to secure a vaccination.
For entertainment's sake, my insane blunder of the moment: I received a notice from the IRS yesterday that I owed them $700. I panicked, then looked over my last return. The amount I said I owed (marked PAID with a date) on my copy matched the total amount due on their statement, with $700 still owing. I finally dug up a copy of the check I wrote. I'd put the correct amount on the check numerically, but when I wrote the amount out, I left out the words "seven hundred" -- er. The bank paid the amount written instead of the numerical amount and nobody told me there was a problem with the check until now. It was a huge relief, not to be charged with an error in filling out the many forms that made up my return. I am BAD at forms.
