From A to Thinking

AAAACK! Fio spent five hours on the 2018 taxes yesterday, and they're still nowhere near being finished. Pray for her--she's going to call Ameritrade to get tax information today, and you know how much they love her in those unholy halls.

The good news about the tax prep thing is that Fiorella has discovered she made $28.37 off her books  last year, which is amazing for someone who's been out of the scene for three years. Maybe some of those pitches she's delivered in doctors' waiting-rooms when she couldn't sit still any longer did the trick.

Your girl had another ocular migraine yesterday. The first time her vision years ago that her vision exploded into a rainbow of shocking beauty, Fio, who is legally blind in her left eye, was afraid it was the end of the road, but now she knows that that her own private Disneyland will settle down in about twenty minutes. Dilating her eyes causes the same colorful reaction, but the rainbows don't go away for days.

Fio decided that she and Sonia Dog need more exercise so she's been grabbing her pruners and escorting Doggie outside for the past few days. While Fiorella clips away at stray cedar/juniper branches, Sonia lies down on the front porch and snoozes.

Women make breakfast, read the paper, and plan what they're going to do during the day all at the same time. Men eat breakfast, then read the paper, then decide what they're going to do during the day. It's a matter of vertical thinking versus serial thinking.
