migraine is whole grain

Didn't they do something like this with Springfield in the Simpsons? The one where Homer becomes the garbage commissioner...

I spent today asleep with a well-earned migraine. Lots of drugs and rest and it's mostly gone. Splendid.

I filed my taxes last night. Good for me. Tax software makes it extremely easy, and is free if you're under 50 and make under $50,000 a year, which I certainly am and do. I recommend it highly to any and all. I used the free version of TurboTax, but considering so much of tax filing involves entering the same fucking number in 47 places and standard functions, I imagine any tax software is very useful. Here's the IRS's free list.
Note to Amy- How weird was it to file as MARRIED? Weird grown-up shit.

Tomorrow my grandpa is due to be discharged from the hospital and then I am due to help him set up his computer at his apartment. Party party party. Can my life get any more exciting? Apparently the guy in the bed next to my grandfather at the hospital has spent most of his waking moments on the phone, loudly telling people about his "pernicious anemia" and that he just needs some B-12 and he'll be fine, but the doctors won't give it to him. I got to witness one such phone conversation Thursday night, and it was pretty funny. I love when real people are more caricature-like than anything fiction could believably invent.

What do people know about electric violins? I'm tempted to ask for one for my birthday and maybe actually start showing up to the Tuesday night open jam thing at Vaughan's. It would be good for me to be playing more regularly in public again. I need to contact my old violin teacher (old as in former, not old as in she's old, though her daughter is now in high school, which makes me feel old...).

I need to do laundry just. so. badly. I was going to do it Thursday but didn't have time. Then I was going to do it yesterday after work but was too tired. Then I was going to do it today but had a migraine. What are the odds I actually get up early enough tomorrow to start a load before a) I have to go to my grandfather's and b) the rest of the building decides to do its laundry as well?

One of these days I'll do all the things on my To Do list. Just not today...
