Emotionally, I think I'm Willow--kinda like "Huh?" unless I'm really, really ticked. But I guess I'll take it.

Let's see what happens
Apr. 14th, 2004 11:20 amWell, looks like we will be doing something about all the large-scale junk in the garage--Mom phoned a junk guy, who will be coming over this afternoon to give her an estimate for the hauling. If he proves reasonable and this works out, it will be such a relief. There are 2 refrigerators, an old upright organ, assorted chests of drawers, and a couple of broken-down exercise bikes--yes, I used them until the bearings wore out. There are old desks and chairs in the cellar. I've gotten pretty handy withthe 4-wheeled dolly over the last few months, but there are some things I just can't move on my own.
Still awaiting word about whether the Feds have accepted my e-filed return. If memory serves, I think TT was supposed to email me that they had received word, but in case what memory served up turned out to be a big zero, I will check tonight when I get home.
Still fiddling with the new Jani 5 Chapter 1, and the secondary POV. This character isn't what we would call normal, but I need to give the impression of obsession and not-quite-rightedness while avoiding the tumble into barking-madness. Also working out conversations between Jani and other characters--her Dad, Lucien, Niall, John. I often make notes of this dialogue with an eye toward using it in the book. Sometimes I do, but usually all it does is serve to align everyone's attitudes and help set the tone for relationships. There's a talk with her Dad that's going to play a part in this book, I think. She needs to realize at that point how much she's scaring people who care about her.
Jani had a difficult relationship with her parents, but she was too self-absorbed and intent on getting off Acadia to realize it. She tends to run over people--is that a surprise?
This conversation with her father is going to occur about halfway through the book, I think. It's going to be interesting.

There I was, wondering when the heck the notice would come through that the Feds had accepted my return via TT. Three days had passed, which is too long.
So I checked TT, and found the Federal DCN waiting for me, with the acceptance date. Pulled out what I thought was just the status sheet for the IL return, and saw that info about the Fed return was woven throughout. They had accepted the thing the day after I filed, so I'm done.
The junk guy will be coming on Monday to clear out the garage and the basement. I'll be taking a vacation day so that I can help sort things. To my surprise and delight, there is only one refrigerator in the garage, not two. I don't remember when Dad got rid of the old white box, but he apparently did.
The weekend will be spent clearing out the remaining refrigerator, which contains tools and junk. Maybe tossing some boxes. I've already been checking ads for those nice garage worktables and tool cabinets. I'm starting to feel about hardware stores the way I feel about office supply stores--oh, look, shiny! Me want now!
Will also buy a birdbath this weekend to take the place of the old smashed-up model.
In even more exciting news, the enzyme has been added to the doggie septic tank, along with a few days worth of whatever and lots of water. Now we see how well it all breaks down. I feel like I've started a science project.
