I stayed home from work Tuesday through Thursday so the same bug that fell our whole family would not fell everyone in the office at work. The flu is a real pain in the neck. In the middle of all that I needed to get my taxes out. After working like a maniac to get it all done, I found they are not due this year until April 18. The normal day, April 15, is an obscure holiday in Washington D.C. this year, so the whole country gets a three day reprieve. Well, now it is out of the way and I do not have to worry about it.
