I tend to self experiment (not that!) on my day off. For instance, allergy season is coming up so I thought I would try taking my allergy pill at night. The first night it went fine. Last night it energized me and I had a terrible time falling asleep. Lesson learned. I was glad I had today off.
I didn't have a headache from the curry spices, I was very happy to see that as I have very large (7 ounce) bags of spices!
I need to organize my spices somehow, right now when I open their cabinet they fall out on me. Times like this I do wish I had a handyman around. I can envision it so clearly, a nice cabinet, with shelves, and doors (spices shouldn't be in the light), mounted in my kitchen on the end of the stove cabinets...
But the imported spices some in large plastic bags. That's not a problem, I guess, if you use them up pretty quick (and I am going through them at a pretty good clip). I need some glass jars. I will figure it out.
I just paid my property tax. For the county, that's the big one, over a thousand dollars. Boy, they don't make it easy. Nothing on the bill, no website, nothing. I don't just want to Google it because I could get a fake link and pay my $$$ to some scammer who drains my account. I finally found the website on a slip of paper behind the payment envelope.
So I find the site and I try to autofill my bank card information and it doesn't work. Says I have an invalid number on the back of my card, I look, it's right, I try again. And it says it "can't process my request".
Well screw you, Google Wallet. I input the number myself. That went through. I will say the fee charged wasn't bad (to run my card). $25 and change.
I'm going to do school tax next. That's going to wipe me out until payday but I want all these taxing authorities off my back. My Revolutionary war ancestors are rioting over this.
Let's get that over with... that one wasn't hard but I had to tell Google Wallet to go (censored) itself. I think I'm going to turn it off, anyway.
So now I have about $400 left on my property taxes. That's not bad. The fees were not bad about $20 each taxing authority.
I am glad that's done for another year. From what I remember last year the school district wasn't hard to pay.
My home's value has doubled since we bought it 20 years ago. I am very happy here.
