Yes, I'm still up! Have been working on my taxes and find (to my dismay) that I owe a chunk of money to the IRS. This, even with more deductions than usual....so...I guess I have to go to the administration office and have them start taking even more $$ out of my paycheck. I live in a modest little home, drive used cars, open cans for supper, and only get "out" occasionally when friends take pity on me. So how can it be that I am so darned rich that the IRS wants a pound of my flesh???? Bad planning on my part, I guess...
Let's see...I got through a special mortgage arrangement that took over a year; then I got IUPUI paid off, which took a number of months; now, I am in a special arrangement to get a credit card paid off (don't get me started on that one!!); and now the IRS. Plus, I have a debt to a patient friend that needs attention. Okay...so given all of that, my dear darling soon-to-be-former-son-in-law has told Meg that he wants HER stuff out of the house by this weekend. Time to find a storage unit and a truck! Aaarrrghhh!
Today was my grandchildren's first day with the new babysitter. (We went yesterday afternoon to her house to meet her. She is licensed by the state, and the children were impressed, so we felt pretty good about trying her out. Well! They came home happy. She has a veritable playground in her back yard...and a trampoline! Although bedtime this evening was still a struggle, it didn't seem to be as MUCH of a struggle as before. Progress?
Time for bed. Tomorrow is another day!
