[katesthoughts]

 

Good morning—welcome to the new month.   I have been up officially since 5 and its 11 degrees out.  I'm happy I can stay in until it's time for bingo. I've been trying to get some sleep and spent a bit of time browsing the internet.   

I knew my car taxes weren’t paid because My registration lapsed last year but I rectified that in September.  I must pay now.

Knowing that and the conversation I had with Laura prompted me to do my taxes.  It went smoothly, even though I had to redo a few things for the state income tax.   Sadly, you're already familiar with me.  It made me swear a few times.

Why is it that when they advertise free tax filing, there are still charges involved?   The fee is lower than what a tax accountant or preparer would typically charge.

It's ten o'clock now, and I'm not in a hurry to clean the floors.   They wont take long I hope and I can do it when I get home. 

I don't need many groceries since I still have plenty. Coffee and Creamer and Milk and maybe a sweet.  I'd like to make the chicken dish in a crockpot, but I may not have enough time.

Well I need to get ready for bingo and grocery store.
