A Few Diverse Matters


Following my early afternoon nap, I did not expect to rise and find that my wife had come home. At earliest, I thought that she would be showing up after mid-evening if she was working today (she has part-time employment at a Thai restaurant).

She was last home early Saturday afternoon (she typically spends much of her weekends somewhere in Vancouver). 

As a result of her unexpected appearance, I have not been able to spend the time here at my computer that I otherwise would have. And as a consequence, I am not going to say too much in this post.

I want to confirm that yesterday in the early evening I did NETFILE our tax returns using the GenuTax Multiyear Tax Software. I had already completed both returns last Wednesday, but held off submitting them.

I used the GenuTax software last year as well, but of course this year I had to update it.

Had I NETFILEd the two returns on the past Wednesday right after I had completed them, possibly the submission might have been different ─ perhaps they could have been submitted simultaneously. Last evening, I had to submit them separately ─ or at least, I think that I needed to do so. 

My nagging concern is that when I first submitted mine, it may be possible that my wife's was automatically submitted as well, since they had to be completed simultaneously. If that is indeed so, then when I next submitted hers, did this result in a duplicated submission?   

I hope not! Since she owes, I don't want her tax debt to be doubled because of this possibility.

In other news, it seems that her youngest son (24 years old?) has been diagnosed with a case of COVID-19. He only seems to be manifesting some common cold symptoms, but he is something of a hypochondriac, so he sought out a doctor. 

And now he is going to take sick leave from work.

It doesn't stop him from going out for other reasons, however.

I also want to mention that I am disappointed with this morning's session of toolshed exercising. On both this past Friday and Saturday, I performed far better at pull-ups / chin-ups than I have managed to do since before I took sick last October with "COVID pneumonia" and had to spend just over 11 days in hospital after degenerating so badly here at home that I could no longer walk and was just lying in bed peeing myself.

This morning, however, I reverted to a poorer showing at the exercises. Did my 5.625-mile round trip hike yesterday morning to do some grocery shopping adversely challenge me so very much that I am paying a penalty today?

I do not have those exercises scheduled again until Wednesday, so we shall see how I fare that morning. However, I hope to get out overnight on a good walk and intend to do some pull-ups on the rings at an elementary school playground. I would like to rise at 3 a.m. for that walk, but I will likely feel that 4 a.m. is more reasonable if I sit up until the midnight hour later today while watching evening T.V. (via our Android TV Box) with my younger brother after he is home from his daily 'socializing'.  

Perhaps I will also mention that I put some lupin seeds between a folded wet paper towel that I then inserted into a plastic bag. I will check them on Thursday to see if any have germinated.

I am a little annoyed that in setting this up, three of the seeds dropped to the floor carpet and became lost.

Well, it is now after 7:30 p.m., and my thumb joints are bellyaching from the abuse of typing on this keyboard, so I am going to call it quits at blogging for today.
