Got up today feeling quite tired. So, after taking a nap, I decided to do my taxes! After wrestling with TurboTax and typing in all my medical expenses, the software ended up submitting the 1040EZ for me. Hell, the 1040EZ is designed to be filled out with a CRAYON and I could have done that in a minute. I wonder why I went to all that trouble. So onto the task that makes me crazy: doing my parents taxes. Mostly because I have to dig through my dad’s crap to find most of his paperwork. He likes to squirrel things away for some reason.

Anyway, being tired and cranky and doing my taxes made me realize that things are probably ebbing right now. No more pretend girlfriends, etc. Magic Date Ball will repeatedly tell me, Not a chance! Friday I was on the phone for about an hour trying to clear up my mom’s insurance with all the referrals and authorizations and other mumbo-jumbo and arcane incantations required to get the bills paid up and it looks like I’m going to go through the same sort of torture to get my dad’s taxes all straightened out.

Oh, well. I found out I won a door prize at the Ham Radio Swap meet and so I can run all sorts of things that require 12V. That’ll have to amuse me until my mail-order soldering iron arrives.
