missing piece

the jigsaw puzzle did, indeed, have 1000 pieces, as the box stated. however, this piece obviously doesn't fit this hole. oh well, the puzzle is still done. and that's something. :)

i was pleased to learn that my bank is open until 2pm on saturdays. so, of course, i'm just procrastinating longer. why shower & change now when i can wait another hour? truth is, i'd rather not leave the house at all today. what with the wind & all, i'd rather just stayed curled up inside with fuzzy slippers & flannel 'jamas.

going to the bank, however, will accomplish several things. A) it'll get the rent paid. 2) i'll get some cash for the next couple of weeks. and, i'll pull out my state tax refund so i don't randomly spend it on mundane things like toilet paper & shower gel. which reminds me, i should run to target while i'm out.

i haven't decided what i'm going to do with my tax refunds this year. the state refund was larger than usual, but still not very big. it basically covers the h&r block fee for filing my taxes online & maybe dinner out afterwards. i like how filing the federal return is free, but they charge for the state return. it's smart, really. because once i've got the federal done online ... why wouldn't i just pay them to do the state, too? it's quick, it's easy, and at this point i'm feeling grateful for the free federal return. good gimmick, h&r block. good gimmick. i almost feel like i SHOULD pay you because you gave me one for free.

part of me wants to use the refund for a nice tv & a wii. strange, huh?
