The Visit and other things

Critter did come over today. It was good. I got to see K. and we talked for a bit. I think we can be friends now.

She’s breaking up with her current boyfriend tomorrow and is considering staying with K’s father: since he found out about the new boyfriend he’s reformed yet again. Even if she stays in a relationship with him I (and at least one other person) have recommended that she at least move out and make him take care of himself for a few years and raise the kids without all the drama.

I did my taxes today and I’m due a whole $28 refund from the feds, but I owe the state $55. That’s still better than the two hundred or so I had to mail off last year. I may fiddle with it a little more to try and get it down to a slight refund next year. I figure if I can keep the refunds under a hundred or the amount I owe less than twenty I’ll have it figured just right. I’d rather have my money to spend rather than letting the government play with it interest free.

I got an inexpensive UPS today for the entertainment center since no one around here sells the TrippLite one that I want. It’s an APS, so it’s OK, it’s just not what I really want. Of course the TrippLite UPS I want is almost $200 and this one was only $30.
