Today

By the time I was up and the paper read, the sun was already out full force. I just couldn't get interested in walking in that. I know, it's weird and strange and not normal but the sun just bugs me. So I didn't walk.

I worked on the taxes thing instead. Now that bugs me. I am trying to figure out estimated taxes with self-employment tax and the rest of it and I think I now understand that I'm good for the first quarter, since I already paid a bunch in withholding, there is too much I don't know about the other quarters. I fiddled around until I came up with a number that might keep me out of the federal pen - assuming that I'm not already there because a previous year gets audited, I am going to have to bite the bullet and find a tax accountant.

To be honest, one of the showstoppers about going to an accountant is that any decent accountant, I think, is going to want to see previous returns and I'm too embarrassed to show them since I know they are so full of errors.

But, this is not the time of year to go finding one anyway. And, I'm cool, pretty munch until June and by that time I should know more about my income life anyway. So... it's all going into a folder until then.

I'm just futzing around here this morning - wasting the day away really. I am ready to go back to work. I think I'll head on over to Costco...
