Yes, because of the fleas, all I do is clean….

But, unlikely as it probably seems, we are almost done with the fleas. And it only cost me a small fortune over the past month.

However, assuming I can get over my unbelievable exhaustion — I am now on a week’s vacation from the train station!!

And I believe that is it for today.

On the home front —

I actually was able to get through to a human being at the IRS the other day. You know how I did it? I went to Reddit and someone there posted a step-by-step way to get an actual human being on the phone at the IRS.

And I was only on hold for about 4 mins.

And I offered to pay $25 a month until, basically, I die (or NASARA kicks in), and they approved it. This has never ever happened to me before. Usually you have to agree to pay way more than that! And over 12 months.

She was very casual and friendly. And I don’t have to start paying until October. And the tax lien will be removed from my house ….

All righty.

Enjoy your Thursday, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting!!
