Or should I say, Death and taxes???
We went to get tax returns done today: I am glad I was sitting down when the lady told me my return amount!! It is more than I have ever received ,ever!! Since 1970!!
One piece of valuable info for anybody that did any energy saving work on their dwelling in 2010: No matter how much $$ you spent, the maximum you can receive back is $299. the table is a percentage of your cost with a cap of $299. So, all that political garbage from the D.C. man about rewarding households for their efforts to save energy, the buck stops here. You could pump a million dollars into energy saving materials/appliances and you will still get: yup, $299!!
Oh well, I was also informed that those credits will be phased out too... sure glad I dropped a chunk of change on three new appliances, a house full of windows and insulation,, so the Fed could turn their heads while the utility companies jacked up the rates, so I still pay more while using less energy!! How American is that?????????
Ok, jumped off my soapbox,, still got about five times more back than I anticipated..
Wonder if my newly replaced water heater will qualify next year??
That was the good news,,
we spent some time with our friend at the funeral home in respect to her mom,, so hard to lose a parent,, her dad is still alive,,89 years old! All we can do is support and be there for them,, I love my friend... she is great,,

Monday, February 21, 2011
Finally came out of my fog from pain meds, actually took the pills Friday night, slept Saturday, Sunday and Sunday evening,,
got a phone call from my friend, the one that went to Florida with me,, her mom died this morning,, I knew she was close, her renal output was only 50cc Saturday,, this poor woman was suffering from dementia for about five years now,, she is 89,,, Bless her heart, she is out of it now,, Karen just said they were leaving to make the rest of her arrangements,,,
I remember when I was growing up, I wondered what it is like to actually lose a parent,, then when it happened to me, I became a new member in the club of people who "KNOW"..
until it happens, nothing can explain the emotions,, it is very surreal, seeing a form, but all of a sudden there is nobody there, physically,,,
All we can do is be there for the person,, be a friend...

slept from 9pm last night until 8:30 this morning, most of it in a chair.. no more taking two pain meds at once,, tried to tell doc it was too much fo rme,, no pain, but no awake timeeither,, I think I slept it all off by now,, kind of like coming out of anesthetic for me..
I am glad the weather is not snowy, still in the 20's but no shoveling today!!

The two pills taken at once does sound like too much.
