Taxes are done, and I'm in the midst (ok on a break) during packing to see my aunt. I love my tax preparer, a great middle-aged woman at H&R Block who I have a great discussion with everytime I go about work conditions, the economy, and other topics that we often agree on. It's always good to vent about the shitty situation with someone new.

Things at work are slowing down again somewhat, so I'm hoping it's temporary. I have to get my butt in gear and plan for the next 3 months, IRA contribution, losing weight, stopping smoking, and preparing for spring and summer. The second thunderstorm of the season rolled through about an hour ago, meaning that winter's finally over after a long, cold, and nerve-wracking 4 months.

In other news, I saw Denis Leary, and other for the Rescue Me/Comedy tour, and it was AWESOME! There were 4 comics performing including him, and I got to see the premiere episode of Rescue Me Season 5 which I've loved forever, but can't see since I don't have FX. Overall, I have so much respect for the man it's amazing, since I don't really hero worship anyone, and ironically although he ended with his signature song Asshole, he's the farthest thing from the comic he used to be when he really was kind of an asshole. It's nice to see positive change and personal sacrifice in a celebrity for a change.
