A Taxing Experience

billroperI have finally found the missing receipt for my new guitar and forwarded it to my insurance agent. It was in the bag that came back from the store, which was underneath a book that I'd bought and the GAFilk quilt that Gretchen won last year when I bought raffle tickets for her in absentia. The quilt should get hung tomorrow if anything goes according to plan. Of course, I had *planned* to hang it today.
Instead, I spent most of the afternoon digging through files of old paperwork, recycling some and shredding others. And I did another chunk of data entry for the taxes. At this point, I still need to get the consignment inventory update from Katrina and enter all of the credit card data, but it's getting closer and closer to being complete, which is pretty good for January 2nd. I think I am still feeling burned by the IRS disregarding the postmark on last year's return and fining me for a late filing. They reversed the fine, but warned that they would only do this once.
But I am making progress. And that's good.
