I've been puddling my way through the next bit of my taxes. I must be making progress, but I'm at that space where some sets of numbers go on forever and others are very mysterious. This is one of the years I was rather ill, so my records aren't as complete as they should be. Since these taxes are being done in another year when...yes, they're running late.

I was all sorted to blitz them in a few days, months ago. I announced it with far too much hubris, here. Life happened. Of course life happened. Life and taxes and hubris don't mesh well. Anyhow, if you know why I was paid $440 not long before my 2010 birthday, feel free to explain it. Otherwise I shall just plough through the papers until I have the information.

Taxes are a necessary evil, but at certain times of year the necessity and the evil both overwhelm.

Part of the problem is that I have to keep a modicum of decorum. I cannot play mild practical jokes in my taxes. it's so tempting. It's so very tempting. Vade retro! I shall prevail (with grand sobriety)! And I shall finish this one set of records before I sleep. The rest can wait until Sunday.
