Margie & Norm Save the Day

After the pre-op appointment today, I tried to mail my taxes in San Francisco. I wasn't able to, though, because the post office on Geary doesn't seem to have drive up mailboxes. You have to park to mail a letter and of course, on tax day, there was no parking. I decided to mail it back in Concord on my way home.

About five miles from the exit, I turned on the radio news. I never listen to radio news anymore, so I'm not sure why I did that. As I approached my exit, they interviewed a tax preparer. As she was wrapping her interview, she shared a few reminders including, "Be sure you signed your forms."

That, of course, is when I realized that I forgot to sign mine.

So, I ended up driving home instead of to the post office, cutting the envelopes open, signing the forms, sliding them back in and taped them shut. By then it was after five o'clock, so I had to drive to the main post office to mail them. But that's a whole lot better than mailing the forms unsigned, so thanks, Margie & Norm!
