Laundry. Breakfast: organic lowfat yogurt with pecan praline granola, and fresh, diced organic pink lady apple, and fresh, sliced kiwi. Before today I thought I would have to file a 2007 amended California joint return via paper, but upon closer examination I am pretty certain now that this 2007 state joint return is not affected by amendment 201021050, so I only have to prepare 10 returns, not 11 as I had thought for a few days. Washed and dried 3 loads of laundry. Spent 3.5 more hours preparing tax returns for filing. Will thought I needed to take a tax-preparation break outside of home. We first ran an errand at C&W Tailoring. I had dropped off 4 ties to be altered over a week ago. I asked them to be made smaller both in length and width. 1 tie was perfect. 1 tie was 3/16 inch wider than I had asked, but I accepted it anyway. 2 ties were not altered to the length I had asked. She said sorry, and I agreed to pick them up next Saturday. Lunch with Will at Spiazzo: bolognese lasanga and a cola for him, spinach-ricotta ravioli with tomato cream sauce for me. Tasty food, very good service. Afterwards we got gelato at Tuttimelon. This gelato was very delicious. I thought it was rather expensive—over $10 total. Then I bought a light bulb at Papenhausen Hardware, bought groceries at Safeway on Taraval. 2-hour nap with Will. Folded laundry. Updated contact info for a few accounts due to the recent Epsilon data breach. Essentially this means deleting the custom email address I had for whatever company and creating a new one. For a while now I've been creating custom email addresses (forwards, really) for every company with whom I create an account, e.g., mtv@frankfarm.com or limerestaurant@frankfarm.com. This also makes it easy to spot who is selling my info to other parties. Late dinner at home with Will: taco night, water for me, Tropicana pomegranate blueberry juice for Will. Dessert: warmed coffee brownies, nonfat milk. Folded laundry, ironed some clothes. Spent 2 more hours preparing tax returns for filing. 6 down, 4 to go. Tropicana pomegranate blueberry juice. To bed late.
