Commence the Summer

May 1st, 2025 at 03:37 pm

April is always a dreary month where I live.  It's a time of last-minute tax filings (though these days, I've been a good boy for filing them much earlier), wild fluctuations in temperature, and pollen and allergy season.  Ah, the pollen... the copious blanket of green nastiness that covers everything, making people here wish for days of rain to wash all that snotiness away.

But May!  May marks the end of the tax dread, the pollen plague, and Mother Nature finally deciding to properly blast us with the beginnings of summer heat.

With that in mind, this is when I change my car's air filter, and I also finally installed my window AC that I have kept putting off since... er... last year ahem.  But it's finally done, and I am hoping that it will lead to lower electric bills this month.

Also, as of today, my net worth has somewhat recovered from a peak loss of $150k to an easier-to-swallow-but-still-not-really-at-all $120k loss since January.  Thanks Trump, truly a legend in your own mind.  You just keep pausing those dumb tariffs you started out with, and maybe we'll talk about your 3rd term in the office, and simultaneous coronation as the next Pope, come next Febuary 30th.

    Recovery of some is good, but...still an incredible loss. I did chuckle over your comments about the would be dictator.

    Thanks all. Better to laugh than to cry and all that I suppose.
