More whining about taxes
I have spent the last three days either at my mom's or on the phone with her, discussing my tax return. She likes to do it, ENJOYS helping people with their taxes.

I know, I can't believe it either.

Every time I think I've got my act together, that I'm almost done, she asks me about another bunch of deductions and I go home and scrounge through my filing cabinet for those receipts. All power to her, she's reduced the tax I owe by a huge chunk of cash. And my accountant bill will be much smaller when all is said and done.

I still have a few weeks, after all, in Canada, the deadline is April 30th.

No more whining about taxes!! I can not tell you how aggravating it is to me that my Mom's burial has been set for April 15. The old adage "Nothing's sure but death and taxes" has taken on a whole new meaing for me.

But thankfully, she waited until the day AFTER Valentine's Day to make her transition. That would have been tough in years to come (even her DoD on 2-15 is tough, but it is easy to remember, sigh).

Okay, I will pull myself out of this gruesome mood NOW!

No kiding, you've had a lot of negative stuff happening lately. I'm glad I was there for you at the funeral.

I hope you're feeling a teensy bit better now.

Having some focus issues, but not too much greater proportionately than anytime I'm away for a week.

We did come home to news of the tragic death last Friday night of a friend's 16-year-old daughter (and her BF, too) in a fatal car crash with the other driver so much in the wrong he's been charged with double murder. B and I and about a couple of thousand other folks went to the visitation yesterday, but we opted out of the funeral today to allow those closer to the family a seat for the ceremony. Very distressing, a tragedy for all involved.

Yep. She's getting my stuff together, printing off my return as I type.
