Maybe tomorrow I'll put away the rest of the laundry. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

BR has twice a week, recycling once a week. We'd usually only put out trash once a week with the recycling.

We've been to Shorty's Saenger show twice. It's great. And a nice long show. Definitely worth the $$$.

They did sell THC seltzers, as I recall. But no doubt plenty of people brought in their own in other forms.

Yeah, my ideal is to owe a small amount.

Well, I got my withholding updated. IRS withholding forms are all so dumb. The instructions say I shouldn't include my husband's income because it's slightly higher than mine. But then it withholds as if mine is the only income, which is how we got here.
So I just requested extra withholding.

D'oh. We owe a bunch of federal tax. Trying to update my W4P is making my brain hurt. Need lunch.

We did that with the last one, which was about 10 blocks away in 2 directions.

Yeah, I kinda woke up at 6, saw the 3am text, and was expecting a shooting or something. Went to nola dot com, then came here and by then I was all awake and stuff.

Finally got texted about the boil advisory about 3 minutes ago.
Gotta say, I'm glad my husband is in the habit of setting up the coffee pot before bed.

We've been to a few of their performances and always enjoyed them.
I don't think we're going to renew our Broadway season tickets next year--the shows aren't appealing to me. Maybe we can spend that money on some LPO shows.

Yeah, the bar at Alligator Bayou was big.
I worked at the Holiday Inn in Gonzales for a couple of years, and the bar there was pretty hopping on Sundays because people would come from Baton Rouge.
