65 days until spring.
@DianneN called me yesterday. She and her husband are in Florida for the winter as usual. I told her we all miss her; and she said she would try to come back; but she's very busy as usual.
I was a good girl yesterday. I recorded all the medical expenses, property taxes, etc. Now I just have to add everything up and wait for all the 1099s to come in. Have you started working on your taxes? I just remembered, I have to add some charitable contributions.
Breakfast - Granola bar
Lunch - Meals on Wheels - Chicken Cordon Bleu, mashed potatoes, carrots, apricots (one of their really good meals)
Dessert/Snack - Nature's Bakery Brownie, low salt nuts, 70% dark chocolate
Dinner - Buffalo chicken and vegan cheese sandwich, veggie poppables, strawberries
What did you eat yesterday?

When I was the one earning the living, I used H & R Block for our taxes and had to wait for all the "stuff" to come in by mail before going down to their office. Pretty gets everything online and does the taxes herself... I have no idea where "we" are with our taxes this year. She never tells me and will say she's already told me if I ask. 
I ate a sausage, egg and cheese croissant for breakfast as well as raspberries and a banana yesterday. I woke up around 6:30 pm and so late lunch was really late. I ate something, I'm sure but can't remember what it was. No supper last night.

I like to get the taxes done mid-February before they get really busy at the IRS.

@DaddyEvil I don't know where I will be this year. I had to cash in my husband's annuity. That could be a big hit tax-wise. I will find out next month.

@LindaOHio - We cannot file until they send us the forms and we never receive them before March.

Good to know that Dianne seems to be doing well - yah, we miss her! What a relief to finally get paperwork going (I tend to procrastinate 
). For dinner, I managed to make a chicken marsala meal . . . wasn't easy as I was super tired and was just getting over a day long headache.

@MommyOfEli2013 We got about 6 inches. Had to have the drive plowed. Some sections of NE Ohio got over 16 inches.

She received my "Seasons Greetings" card. I was going to call her on her birthday; but I didn't. Bad me.

That sounds good. I'm starving at 6:30 am. I may go get a PB&J out of the fridge.

I'm waiting for my tax info to come and then I can get it all off to the accountant.
I'm glad to hear that Dianne is doing well and enjoying her winter in Florida. I hope she comes back.
Your chicken cordon bleu sounds delicious.

As soon as all the 1099s come in, I can start on the taxes. Maybe Dianne will pop in.
