Most of today was spent working on things for my accountant.
There’s a lot to do, and spending a day doing accountancy really did bring back my old bookkeeping days. It amazes me–the sheer number of transactions an ordinary household has during any given year. This year, because of the number of medical bills we paid, it looks like I will be better off itemizing. 
The accountant will tell me which way is best. He is a very good guy, reasonable, fast, and thorough.
My table has assorted stacks of papers all over it. Thank heaven I eat at the computer. I like to watch something while I have my supper, so the papers will remain untouched until I start up again with them tomorrow.
Have a good night, stay warm and dry.
God bless everybody

We never ate at our kitchen table but this year, 2026, we are doing so. The TV screen is father away, but we still enjoy Larry Elder’s show while we chow down.
I started a couple of years ago.
I wish I could start doing my taxes, but I’m waiting for employer tax statements, and my interest statement.
Yes sometimes you have to wait for the information.
This year will be complicated. Lots of moving pieces in 2025.
Me too–major changes this year.
Likewise for me. Probably more going on this last year than any other in my life.
yes.
It’s good to get an early start on taxes so as to get it done and then out of mind. You have a good start!
Yes, I always try to get an early start.
