March 7th, 2006dealing with the tax man
We’re doing our taxes today.
Because for part of last year I was self-employed, there was a good chance I was going to owe the IRS somewhere in the vicinity of $2000. Needless to say, I was stressed this morning.
Then the tax guy came, did some magic with his pencil and special paper and voila! the government owes me $1000. I’m a little confused on the particulars, but he worked the numbers and deducted (all of which is legal and above board, no worries) and now I’m planning to absolutely take a little vacation this year… 🙂
We haven’t gone for the bloodwork yet, but I’m going to guess I’m around a 2 for the bilirubin. Hopefully all the rest of the numbers have dropped into their appropriate brackets and I’ll be able to head home in two or three weeks.
At which time I will then start planning a well-deserved vacation. Possibly to a sunny little island in the Pacific. 😉
Aren’t things starting to look up something dazzling?
(Mixing my metaphors, moi?)

Ah, but when you mix metaphors, you sound poetic. 🙂
And yes, looking up… sky high. 🙂

Rarotonga. It’s part of the Cook Islands chain. 😉
