This has been another quiet day at home. I did work on the addition and got things straightened out. Kathy took several trips to the shed to take things that don’t belong in the back room. It still looks too crowded to my likings but there is a bit of empty space on the shelves. I will have to go through everything one more time and see if I can find some more things to get rid of.
I still have some paint cans and a few other things to relocate to a different room. Phil will need a bit more of the paint to finish up the bathroom so want to wait until he is done to move it. I need to go through all the paint and get rid of some of it. I have two gallons of outdoor paint that I didn’t use that I need to find a new home for. The rest of it is leftover paint and I need to make sure I need it.
Next spring I will have to clean out the shed again and find things to get rid of. I really don’t like keeping things just in case and need to pare down what I have both in the shed and the back room.
The insurance guy came and took pictures of the car. He said it would take a couple days before they get the results to me. I want to stop at Subaru tomorrow to see if they will give me an estimate to fix it so I will know if I should accept the offer from the insurance company.
Tomorrow I am going to Wichita to visit my aunt and to go to Costco. I have a long list of things I need from Costco. I hope they won’t be too busy but this time of year that is a big hope.
It was nice that it warmed up a bit today. I really dislike the cold weather we had over the weekend.
I got initial paperwork that will make Love in Action a nonprofit. I need to call the attorney tomorrow and make sure I understand what needs to happen next. I think I have to send a check for $75 to the state to finalize the paperwork. They also said something about applying for a federal EIN number. Not sure how to do that and if I need to do that or if the attorney is going to.
I hope to get all the paperwork done by the first of the year and then get a bank account open. I need to ask the attorney if I should wait to get it all completed in January so I don’t have to pay to register it again in 2026. I need to find out what the tax reporting responsibilities are and if I have to send in annual fees like you do for a LTD. Company.
Won’t be long before I have to start putting together tax information. I am so grateful this is my last year to do that for rentals. I hope that my accountant overestimated my taxes and I get some of what I prepaid back. Next year it will be much easier to estimate my tax liability since I will just have interest income.
This empty space before surgery feels rich somehow. I cherish my quiet days at home and very little on my to-do list. I did feel a big antsy for a while today and not sure what that was all about. I sat with it and it passed.
Grateful the back room is almost in order, grateful it was a bit warmer today, and grateful to have received the next round of paperwork for Love In Action, Inc.
