(TBG likes hard copies, and so hard copies he shall have.... another way to stay married for all these years.... I just copy and smile... and enjoy it when the mortgage guy is amazed that we have everything at TBG's fingertips, ready to be photographed and emailed.)
And there we were, before 9am, taxes secure in a manila envelope, ready for me to weigh and process at the Automated Postal Center before dropping it in the box inside the post office.
He does the thinking, I do the grunt work. We are both comfortable in our roles. We deserved a reward.
Wanna drive me to the Post Office and then go get donuts?

Getting taxes done and in the mail is definitely deserving of some kind of treat in celebration! No judging here.

Treats are always a good reward for getting jobs done. Ours is usually a Starbucks stop.
