Good morning! Tax season is in full swing, so these posts will probably be short. Just journaling while I have my morning coffee before logging on for the morning.

My daughter (she just turned 3) started day care / preschool about a few months ago and seems to have been sick / gotten everyone in the house sick twice now, so it’s been a constant cycle of coughs, sneezes, fevers, and misery around here. I think we’re finally on the tail end of the most recent round so I’m looking forward to everyone finally feeling 100%!

Each tax season I feel like I find a new hobby or vice that keeps me distracted as the days pass toward 4/15, and this year I’ve discovered the dangers of Shopgoodwill.com where there are auctions for all sorts of items that are donated to Goodwills across the country. I have a weak spot for “retro” tech, and have ended up the proud owner of useless junk such as palm pilots (including one still sealed), “ancient” (2009-2015) MacBooks I landed for about $30 each, and an old rotary phone to decorate our guest room. This was a dangerous find for someone who loves nostalgia, and already has boxes of old tech my wife wants me to get rid of.
