Brain dump
1. We are having a snow storm here! A major, icy snowstorm with freezing rain. It kind of sucks, but at least I don't have to drive anywhere today. I am very happy about that. Also, I'm not going to complain because we desperately need moisture in this part of the province.
2. I am not on the road as much, and that is awesome. In fact, I'm getting caught up on older stories and working from home a lot. This allowed me to do some submissions yesterday and get more of my writing out there. Also, when I did my taxes I found that I drove 13,062 km for work.
3. Yesterday I went to see my accountant. I told him I would meet with him in May so that he could deal with clients that would have to file before the deadline. I am expecting a refund, so I would not have to pay. I was very diligent about keeping my receipts and claiming expenses for my writing business and I think it's going to pay off. I feel somewhat intimidated during financial things so it was very cool to play with my accountant's dog during our meeting yesterday. The dog just loves me. She snuggled up to me while I was waiting, and then sat on my lap and gave me little kisses on my hand while we were talking to my return. Yay for dogs!
4. Got my invitation to my cousin's wedding. I have to figure out if I'm going to fly into Victoria or Vancouver and who will drive me out to White Rock. The wedding is out at an apple orchard! Her future husband's parents' own a U-pick operation and the reception and party is going to feature a barn dance, wiener roast and s'mores. Fun!
