Wednesday

I went to file a tax return for my partner because the 1098 actually showed up.  Problem is that he didn’t have any income so everything zeros out meaning he doesn’t owe anything and he isn’t owed anything.  I was pretty livid about it.  I reached out to Turbo Tax for help and found out late last night that I should claim the mortgage interest on my taxes.  I don’t like to file amended returns because it causes all sorts of problems.  Right now I am waiting on the state I live in to accept the e-file return or reject it and once that happens I will be able to file an amended return.  I also ran all of this by a tax attorney and they agreed with me that the deduction is mine and it will be pretty easy to explain to the IRS.  I was told that worse cast scenario the IRS could come asking for their money back but it’s pretty easy to explain. 

The only good thing about this is that the Bankruptcy court can’t take any of it because it will all be in my name.  Last year was his final tax return.  This is just one more hoop I need to jump through.  I’m not happy about it but perhaps that will change when I see how much it impacts my refund.

Yesterday I was just wiped out and after resting & sleep I feel better.  I still kind of think that there may be an infection brewing but I am trying to move past it and hope that it is just my body reacting to the cold weather. 

It’s been super busy from the time I walked in the door and I couldn’t believe it was lunch time.  I’ve got some loose ends to tie up and I am actually looking forward to my afternoon phone shift.  I hope that I will be able to relax and that it’s not super busy.  Resting is a good thing. 

We got more snow over night so the morning commute was all screwed up, it wasn’t much just enough to make it sloppy.  I got to work on time, which is a good thing.  The garage is packed.  There is more snow in the forecast over the weekend so Monday might be interesting.  Not to mention that my therapy appointment could be impacted by this.  Right now I am still looking forward to the weekend.

Just remembered that the massage therapist will be here tomorrow.  I am so looking forward to that as well.  My calling in has me worried that I am going to screw up this perfect gig.  I mean it’s still work and I am no more happier to walk in the door than the next person but I am proud to have a job and it feels good to get a paycheck.  I don’t want to mess things up.  I thought about giving back next Friday and not taking it off but my odometer says it’s close to oil change time and the only place that I go is to the dealer.  They do it all right and while it’s not cheap I take solace in knowing that my car is well taken care of by pros who were trained to work on it. 

Enough babble, time to get back to it.  Talk with you peeps later.
