Weekly Publisher Note, May 12 - 18, 2021

By Jodi Lorence, Macaroni Kid Publisher May 12, 2021

Hello all,

Well, I didi it! Yep, the procrastinator finally e-filed our taxes last night. I am NEVER like this but it seems as though 2020 put a curse on my motivation to do my taxes so when they gave us an extension I jumped all over that. Then it hit, I didn't even have a week to submit them as the deadline to file without being late is May 17. The pleasant part of it after the stress of getting them done is that we don't have to pay in. There is always a silver lining isn't there? For those of you who still have to submit taxes I wish you well. I hate having this kind of thing hanging over my head so I am thankful to be done. Now, on to the next task on my To Do LIst.

Wishing you all a wonderful week. Looks like the temperatures are starting to warm up a bit so maybe I can get some of the plants in pots and be able to leave them on the deck instead of hauling them in every night. I think I went to the garden center about 2 weeks early. LIve and learn I guess but that 80 degree day threw me off. 🌱
