Send off day

Today, I spent a lot of time on paperwork.  I sent in the needed paperwork for the HUD application to sell the house.  While I'm not sure on how it impacts the sale of the house, I know that it is the bank getting general information about my finances.  Because it's a military relocation situation, our short-sale consultant said that it's really just a formality and they won't even check on the figures.

I also got a massage scheduled for Monday, so we'll see how relaxed I get on Monday evening:)  My lovely wife got me the massage as a gift.  I love her so.

I worked further on taxes too.  My wife notified me of the Taxes Center service that's available.  It's supposedly free tax filings for military service members and their families.  I may dig into that.  Surprisingly, even after all of our itemized deductions, we might be better off using the standard deduction.  I'll see how much time I have left available.  I may have to go to the center just from a time standpoint.

I had a sendoff party that K-borg hosted for me.  It was really good food and good company too.  I didn't actually spend much time on games at all.  That was okay, though, because the conversations I had were very good quality.  I got to chat with many people that I actually enjoyed chatting with and caught up with several people I hadn't seen in three years.  I disconnected with many of them at that time frame because I was beginning to get very serious with my future wife then.

I'll see if I can sneak finishing K-borg's custom 5 track cribbage board before leaving town.  It was a project he entrusted to me, and I have let it sit by the wayside for several years now.  Spence has the tools at his house.  I just have to get over there to do it.  It probably would only take a handful of hours to complete.  We'll see.  I've got plenty of other things to focus on right now too, but it would really be great to get that gift for him.

On the Georgia front, she had a long FaceTime session with me this afternoon.  It was a really good conversation.  Her ankles are healing.  Her room was messy so she was looking forward to cleaning it today:)  She had also seen a couple movies with friends and played a card game I was not familiar with before...Playing Cards Against Humanity.  It seems to be an adult version of Apples-to-Apples.  Sounds like it was fun.
