Earth Day 22 Apr 2024

Monday

Our bed with the 9W heated throws.

Checked in on WW and put a call out to Pacific Tax service in Las Vegas. I sent him all the information to his E-Mail address to do the final tax return. As far as I know the return does not need to be filed because we didn’t have any income produced during probate.

Tuesday

Nothing heard from Pacific Tax yet. I did get a question about a retirement celebration from doing the audio at church. That’s a terribly complicated story and I don’t feel I deserve more than others that have worked by my side.

Went to Wally World with groceries listed in our new shopping organizer.

We updated our house Day Timer and started on creating a list of homemaking chores for her procedure book. We’ve ended up with three binders to help organize our home. We have a desktop sized day Timer that we annotate daily tasks like appointments and such. We have two smaller 1/4 page binders that have procedures and the other one is a diary for the doctors.

Watched another “Murder She Baked” for our evening entertainment. There’s about six of them Alison Sweeney is one of her favorite actors from her soap opera’s.

Wednesday

Made a trip to get a CAT Scan done this morning, WW had closed down before I got back to the radio.

Took several cat naps as I am still nervous about the final estate return. (I still have not found their tax return from 2019.)

I did locate the refund from 2020 return that was deposited last year 2023. I can use that money to pay for the final estate tax return.

Audio talking points.

  1. Others that have served as much or more than I have.
  2. Others that are still serving.
  3. Previous celebrations/accolades for servants.
  4. Time spent serving like missed marriage retreats.
  5. Setting up without help and no remorse.
  6. Handicapped parking.
  7. Setup in a new venue.
  8. Setup every Sunday.
  9. Running service.
  10. Managing the contents of Public Storage.
  11. Scripture on Giving, Serving for recognition.
    Mat 6:1  “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. Mat 6:2  “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. Mat 6:3  But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, Mat 6:4  so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 
  12. Scripture on Serving, Gifts of Grace
    1Pe 4:10  Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 
    Rom 12:3  For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. Rom 12:4  For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, Rom 12:5  so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. Rom 12:6  We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; Rom 12:7  if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; Rom 12:8  if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. 
  13. Scripture on it’s God’s money.
    Mat 6:19  “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. Mat 6:20  But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. Mat 6:21  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Mat 6:22  “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. Mat 6:23  But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! Mat 6:24  “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. 

Thursday

Got onto WW this morning and checked in. Talked to my uncle for a good minute as well. I was unable to check the news this morning because it seems that OANN’s certificate is being denied by my browser.

I’ve checked two computers from two networks, and I got the same results.

Mailed the paperwork for our parents 2019 return, it can go three ways and I don’t have a clue how to fill out the forms. No word from Pacific Tax service, we’re on Day 4 and it’s 4PM in Vegas.

Spent the evening clearing the house for our morning guest tomorrow.

Friday

Made a few contacts on FT8 today at 5 in the morning, headed back to bed.

Checked in with Water Way this is the second time it didn’t go well and this time I was chastised for not listening before keying. I think that is the last call to the net.

Moved the cars so the guest can park in the driveway. Had a good long talk with the guest, it was very interesting to discuss African communities.

Saturday

We made a quick run to the Wally World to get a few things, normal shopping day is Tuesdays. I built some pages for the wife’s procedure book for her CPAP mask. Watched Hallmark Chronicle Mysteries with Alison

  1. Recovered (Watched)
  2. Wrong Man (Watched)
  3. Vines that bind
  4. The Deep end
  5. Heliport to death
  6. Series season 1&2 

Sunday

Got ready to go to church at a friend’s house. We made egg salad for lunch and brought seeded rye bread to put it on. I saved the remainder of the coffee, but didn’t drink it. Church service didn’t go well, and I didn’t like some of the decisions that were made. Home for our nap, dinner was soup and a movie.
