Diario de Tepintzin

Not all that, really. Finished off a couple of returns, made progress on a couple more, and punted several returns to Monday and Tuesday. That ate up a couple of hours. 

Tonight is normally dinner & laundry night, but I had to play my games against Pete that were originally scheduled for Friday. That worked out well; I swept his Brewers, which means I now have a microscopic lead on the Royals for the last wild card spot. 

Feeling a little tired after consuming an entire kielbasa, a bag of mixed veggies, and probably too many slices of multigrain bread, so Rule 5 Sunday gets bumped to Monday. 

The returns continue to dribble in by ones and twos, and of course the clients who show up this late almost never have their shit together. 
At the rate I'm going I'll be lucky to clear 50 returns this year, and the periodic notes on Teams that the office has almost 200 returns done over last year is pretty hard to take. 

After talking to the community manager Monday about whether I could stick a pole mount up in the back of the building for my Starlink antenna (no), she advised me to just take it out back and throw it on the ground. This I finally did today, cutting a small hole in the kitchen window screen and feeding the cable out through it, and whoa. Blazing speed! I called Frontier to cancel my DSL service, they e-mailed me a QR code so I can send my router back next time I'm in Las Vegas near a UPS store, and now the Optiplex and phone are zooming along at about 10x the speed they were before, especially after I went out back and adjusted the antenna so it was no longer 17% off the optimal orientation. 

Went out to Raley's, and they were still out of canned Arizona Diet Green Tea. So I grabbed a couple of jugs, some Celsius energy drinks that were on sale, got some Tai Pei cartons because they were all out of the Innovasian stuff that was on sale, and all it did was make me miss the China A Go Go. I'll stick to the ramen and TVP for now, I guess.

Started reading Yuval Kordov's Dark Legacies series but it's a little too dark for me right now. Fortunately I have Amelia: Counterrevolution and Sinister Syndicate of Space to entertain me, which are considerably more lighthearted. 

Lost 2 of 3 to Cleveland on Tuesday and since Pete is off at some pinball convention this weekend, I won't play him until Sunday. So close to .500 and maybe making the playoffs.
