I got my taxes done, did you?
I've done these reminders the last few years, so why not this one? I hope everyone is well. By now, you should have gotten every form you need for your taxes and hopefully you filed them together for easy access. If you've already filed your taxes this year, good job. If you've been delaying, it's time to get to it and at the very least get your forms filled out and the numbers crunched before Easter. If you get a return, this will help you get it faster. If you owe money, this will give you more time to figure out how much you need to scrape together.
I know I've been kind of perky about tax time in previous years, and I don't really mind the forms too much. (Doesn't hurt the EIC means I usually get a refund.) But my AGI was under $4000 this past year, and much of that went to insurance. Ouch. I'm doing okay, basically trading organizing and babysitting for my room and board right now. Picked up a carpooler from my nephew's new school to help out with gas. On the upside, the PoD side of my business has slowly been growing, and I'm nearing the finish line with my first novel.

It may be after Easter before you see much in the way of actual posts. I'm sick this weekend and busy with MTAC next weekend.
On the personal side, my grandfather died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 91. So it was kind of a relaxed funeral because he was ready to go. The family's been reshuffling rooms and belongings while my dad is wrapping up the financial matters that must be dealt with when someone passes. My other grandmother sold her house and moved in with my aunt, so half her household belongs are down in our basement. I'm planning a massive yardsale/semi-estate sale for next month.
