@x , what's "wood break"?
my "to do" list includes getting taxes done. AARP does FREE tax prep/filing. volunteers and retired accounting and tax prep pros set up shop in libraries. i called... was first told no appointments available but then... wait! there were a few cancellations! getting my taxes done tomorrow at 11:30.
ETA: remember the good old days when the tax preparer did all his work in pencil. then you had to give him a day or so to check his math and make the final version. you then physically put the return in the mail and waited 6 weeks or so for a refund check. whenever i owed anything (no matter how little), i would wait until 4/15 to write a check and take it to the post office to assure the IRS didn't get my $$ until absolutely necessary.

We had an ice storm and have been cutting and piling wood from the damaged trees. We took a break after doing this from morning till night for a couple of weeks. 'Wood break', lol. Anyway, the jobs done and we're waiting for the right conditions to burn the huge pile. |

Anyway, the jobs done and we're waiting for the right conditions to burn the huge pile. aaaah, makes perfect sense now... taking a break from dealing with the wood. when my sister had her place in WV mountains, she had a guy who would advise her of which trees she should consider having cut down (damaged, dying, etc). a lot of bartering on costs. guy who took down trees gave her a good price for some of the wood. she made a deal with a guy who had a little cafe. he hired "at risk" kids. he'd show up with 3-4 kids and would split wood. they stacked it for sis and got a bunch to take with them. |

Empty the compost bin and get the veggie beds ready for planting. I still have a couple weeks though before frost danger will have passed.

I need to make breakfast, do laundry and put some decals on the Jeep. I have zero drive or ambition to do any of it. It's overcast, windy and chilly out. UGH!
