I'm Recovered

I basically slept since Friday night 8pm til about Saturday morning 10:30 am or so. Got up for a little bit, then slept some more in the afternoon, had some soup, watched the ladies figure skating on TV with my wife and then slept some more. I took some Dimetapp twice, once around 1pm, and again around 9pm. That stuff knocks me out whenever I take it, which is one of the many reasons I don't like to take drugs of any kind.

Slept some more on Sunday as well, until about 11am or so. These are sort of the sleeping hours I have when I go play poker as well, only this time I was sick, so my wife was letting me sleep in to try and recover. My wife knows that when I am really sick, all I do is sleep. She knows I am better when my appetite has returned, because normally when I am sick I will just sleep and sleep and sleep.

I feel a lot better now, and should be good to go for the work-week ahead. This is my last week of work before I go on vacation for a week, so I am looking forward to that. Hopefully I will get some time in for rest and relaxation, which I definitely need these days.

Did my taxes tonight, I owe the federal government a shade under 5k, and I am getting back from the state a little over 1.5k, assuming the state of California is paying its bills again.

Also I have to pay my property taxes too, they are due April 10th or so. Sheesh, with all the money I am sending to the government in the next 15 days or so, I'm going to need to make a killing at the poker tables.
