Dreams & Deep Cleaning
Dreamed about Tom. Probably because I'd just done his tax return & been on the phone with him for an hour. The Story of How I Lost All My Money is now an amusing one, and he got a big chuckle out of, And then my husband ran off with someone he'd been in 4-H with 40 years ago. When I asked him, Why?, he said, "Well, she saved all the poetry I wrote when I was 16! In this fancy journal. With pressed flowers!"
Must say, I got kind of a chuckle out of it, too.
This is what they don't tell you about heartbreak: It all turns into funny stories if you can wait it out.
Anyway, in this dream, Tom & I were in this strange house filled with 20-something self-involved magicians—kinda like the cast of the TV show The Magicians—who kept levitating objects and working other highly annoying acts of magic. The house was absolutely filthy, too! But I kept finding objects among the filth that I thought maybe I should steal—like this pair of earrings with carnelian stones. I didn't actually like the earrings, but somehow I thought I should own them.
Then we were walking down a really old street with cavernous grey buildings. This is a shortcut to Flatbush Avenue, I told Tom (though it did not look like any shortcut to the real Flatbush Avenue that I have ever seen.) I am taking you to my grandfather's old house.
Are you sure you really want to do that? asked Tom.
And then I woke up.

Productive day yesterday in that I finished Adrienne's website and now don't have to look at it ever again because I refused—smilingly but firmly—to do any of the tweaks.
They've got Joey who is apparently some kind of Big Mojo cyber-guy. Let him do the tweaks.
Once I got a feel for Squarespace, I actually enjoyed working in it, and I could see myself becoming pretty good at it if I did more. Working in Squarespace is kinda like playing video games.
After that, I polished off the last of the Friends & Family tax returns.
And today is my very last 2025 day as a TaxBwana. Honestly? I didn't really enjoy it this year. I think because I felt no bond whatsoever with the people I was working with, and esprit du corps is a huge part of these endeavors for me.

Meanwhile, the Patrizia-torium & the car are both a mess, so Deep Cleaning is in my future.
