Not much sleep last night but I kinda expected that. I had to be in Emporia at 9:00 so had to get up and get going this morning.
We had a slow day at taxes today. One person didn’t show up and two returns became one so we had a lot of down time today. I was out of there a little after 11:00 this morning which is about an hour or more earlier than normal.
I stopped by the bank to do the banking thing. Unfortunately the papers were not ready and the lady that I was working with was off. I will have to go back later this week. This thing is taking way too much time and energy to get resolved.
I took a chair nap when I got home after stopping for lunch. Sure wish I could get this sleep thing fixed.
I did manage to take a walk this afternoon. I need to start moving my body and I was able to make myself get up and go outside to walk.
A dog in the neighborhood got out of a fenced yard this afternoon. There was another dog on a leash with its owner walking by. It got loud and ugly for a bit. The owner of the dog that got out came to get the dog. It was painful to watch how he treated the dog. I considered calling and reporting him. Not sure I understand why people like that have animals.
Tomorrow I am doing taxes again at 9:00 and then am driving to Wichita to get the car recall issue resolved. I plan on stopping at Costco afterwards. Hope I can get out of taxes around noon. I don’t have to be at the dealership until 1:45 so will have plenty of time to get there. Sometimes we don’t get out till 1:00 so I told them I had to leave at noon tomorrow. They can dock my pay if needed – not that I get paid!
Wednesday or Thursday I will go back to the bank and attempt to finally get the check deposited and invested. Not sure why it is taking me over a week to get that done.
I picked up four more tax shifts for the last three weeks of the program. One of the other preparers has a daughter that is going to have a baby any day now and needs to take some time off to go stay with her. I enjoy doing taxes so it will be good for me to do a couple extra shifts. This tax season has gone by quickly and has been one of the easiest ones I have participated in so far. I finally feel like I know what I am doing this year.
I haven’t heard from my tax accountant yet. Trusting I will soon. I am not sure it will be good news this year. Hoping she calculated fairly close and I won’t have to pay lots extra. I know I will have to do estimated payments again this year due to selling Michelle her house. Sure wish I could designate how I want the government to spend the money I send them.
Feeling a bit more in my body tonight. The walk was helpful and I am grateful I was able to make myself do it. Wonder why I am in resistance to doing the things I know will help me feel better long-term. Guess that is everyone’s million dollar question.
Grateful for a walk on a beautiful spring day, grateful for the extra tax shifts, and grateful my car recall problem is getting fixed tomorrow.
