Taxes are done. Had to pay federal instead of getting a refund for the first time in a few years, but that's my own fault for not getting my withholding adjusted properly. I'll get hat reconfigured on Monday for next year.

Really, really glad I only had to file one state's worth of taxes for once. I hated having to do it for New York and New Jersey. I did have to pay out to Massachusetts, but given that I owed less than twenty dollars, I'm not going to complain.

Aaaand the first batch of soap I've made in a few years is now sitting in my oven. Not because it needs to be cooked but because it's the easiest way to keep it safe from the cats. It'll eventually be moved into the insulated closet under the slanting part of the roof instead, because I need that oven, but for now we're good.

I need to get a picture of myself in my safety gear for mixing soap. It's not Breaking Bad-caliber, but the chemical goggles, breathing mask (admittedly it's a particulate respirator rather than a vapor filter but it still helps), and rubber gloves up to my elbows... eh, I just want a picture.
