After my Toastmasters meeting this morning, I spent much of the rest of the day working on photos – I have finished sorting through my 2021 photos and now they’re all geotagged and titled.

I’m now doing a final round of cleanup on the photos from 2000-2009; if you ignore the photos from Jeff’s Bar Mitzvah, all of the photos are geotagged and all but a few from my trip to the Summer Palace in Beijing are titled, and I hope to finish those tomorrow – the one just below is the Long Corridor (perhaps that shouldn’t have taken a lot of research to figure out!).

I haven’t done the sorting to pick out the photos that I want to keep on my phone yet, though there are so few photos (comparatively) from those years that it may not be worth bothering.

I was sitting on the couch watching TV today when my watch buzzed with a message. It was the California Franchise Tax Board (the state IRS) telling me that there was a “new notice or document available in your myFTB account.”

Needless to say, this distracted me, but I decided to finish watching anyway. After the show ended, I logged in – but I couldn’t find any new notices.

I did, though, notice that I hadn’t scheduled estimated tax payments for 2021 – needless to say, I fixed that right away! And I fixed it for the IRS, too. The first payments are due in two weeks, so this was a timely, if inadvertent, reminder.

This evening, I went back to the myFTB site to make sure the payments were truly scheduled (they were) and found a new notice in my account. It wasn’t for anything significant, but I was glad to finally see it!
