A Treasure Found at Home

i’m in a bad mood today. i got my tax stuff from my tax dude, and boy, do i owe some taxes! the real problem is that i mis-estimated the amount i should be setting aside from each check. which means, i’ll have to get a loan. plus, my property tax is higher than estimated, too. soooo. i’ll have to be paying on the “surprise tax” loan, setting aside more money from each check to prevent future surprises of the same ilk, and raise my mortgage payment each month to be sure i’m not surprised by property taxes either.

all of which is to say, if you don’t see much of me in the coming… oh, year or so… it’s cause i can’t afford to leave the house.

i had a bad dream last night, too. unrelated to taxes, but very much related to dating. so i woke up frustrated with myself for making poor dream choices, and then remembered i made some poor financial choices irl. as a result, i’m feeling rather barfy and unhappy today. fair warning.
