On the up swing here

The sniffling, coughing mess is easing up a bit. Just in time as I have to pick my company up at the airport on Friday. SXSW starts tonight with the annual bag stuffing event.
I hope I get to work at one of the tables this year. I don’t feel like lugging bags around. All the promotional materials and the goodies have to be stuffed in canvas bags. The volunteers are recruited to do this manual labor. I am not at all sure what is going on with my status at SXSW. I am just a little confused with the scheduling conflicts, problems getting schedules posted and assorted other little stuff. I wonder if I will get my badge tonight or if I have to wait in line on Friday like last year. It’s just an ego thing, that’s all. I need to just check my ego in at the door and deal with the badge issue as it arises.
I watched part of the re-broadcast of the race from Las Vegas on Speed last night. I had to dash out after work to church (it was ash Wednesday), then the big office store to get a new printer and stop on the way home to get some food. It was half over before I got settled in to watch it. Guess what, I fell asleep during the last 50 laps again. This cold stinks!
I did my tax return Tuesday night/Wednesday morning at about 3:54 am. I couldn’t sleep again so decided to do something productive. I am getting a refund! I already have plans for it. I had to print a hard copy of the tax return. I don’t know if I will need it, I am going to try to pay cash along the way for the barn project. I have a meeting later today with the contractor. I want to get it leveled, floor in and framed. I want this to be a pay as you go project. I don’t want any more debt. I hate debt. The mortgage is enough, that’s all I want. I don’t do credit card debt, I don’t have a car payment and I like it that way.
