Yesterday our accountant called---I have been dreading it-- because we usually have to pay taxes--Well, guess what? This year , only "I" have to pay, not Himself-- and I had put aside an amount in case we both had to pay---and---so, I PAID MY TAXES -
--Oh Lord love a Duck! I believe there really is a God up in Heaven. The exact amount I had set aside, is what I had to pay-- Can yu believe that?---You know all this "tax" stuff was on my mind-- When will the accountant call?-- This was our first year with Himself retired and I had no idea what the gov't would demand.----All that worrying for nothing-
It really is a crappy day out there-- freezing rain is falling---- The weatherman predicted rain all week-- April showers bring May flowers----so i'm told!
When will I learn to stop worrying--
Phew...taxes owed are what you saved. Yay. It all worked out.
ReplyDeleteSorry your weather is still uncooperative. Its gotta change soon. Its 85 and sunny in St.Louis.
I enjoy your daily updates and your sayings.
Enjoy your day. Play your piano.
Hugs
85 there?---- oh my!--- Oh I wish!--Lynda
DeleteIt is so nice to have your taxes paid and off of your mind for another year. Drive careful on the icy roads today. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteHi Madeline----Nice to have the ol' taxes paid-Lynda
DeleteWhew! Such a relief to find the taxes are covered by what you set aside, isn't it? I feel the same way when I do my taxes (done a month or so ago) and it turns out I had set aside "enough".
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good weekend, and the strength to do all of those "to-do's".
It really does make one feel better eh to have the $$$ there-- Hopefully this reply goes thru--Somnetimes it doesn't--Lynda
DeleteWe file our taxes jointly here in the States and this year we had to pay. I would rather have my money all year and pay than have them have it and get a refund . . .but that is just me I am sure. Lots of people like to get big refunds not realizing the gov't has had your money all the past year. Headed to the grocery myself. . . I usually go during the week because it is less busy but this week got away from me.
ReplyDeleteno refund here--- We used to have to pay a lot every year--This year was better--- Lynda
DeleteGlad that your taxes are paid. I ALWAYS dread the results of the paperwork telling us what we owe. BUT done for another year!
ReplyDeleteGlad Watson has you to watch over him!
Here's to better weather. We had rain, rain, rain all day yesterday. Today . . . some sun. Will send it your way!

Yes--send the sun Barb--please!--Lynda
DeleteHot, muggy, very windy here in Central Texas. The wind gusts last night snapped the stems on some of our beautiful Amaryliss blooms.
ReplyDeleteSnow and sleet at a friend's in Indiana crushed all their Spring blooms this past week.
Our annual neighborhood garage sale is today as well as five neighboring subdivisions. Seems it should be called yard sale or driveway sale since the stuff goes outdoor. No matter. I didn't round up stuff so no sales. Too many allergens whipping around in the wind for me to bother with sitting outside.
We have rain predicted for Monday which is sorely needed since Central Texas is in a drought.
Take care.
Imagine--hot weather--- I hope it comes here soon!-Lynda
DeleteYou're right, Lynda. What we experience in life is due to our beliefs. If we don't like something, we can change our belief about it, cuz a belief is just a thought we continue to think. Let's think the best.
ReplyDeleteHope Watson's family returns soon. They probably miss him, too.
It's cloudy here, but will be almost 70F today! Spring is springing.
I have 2 bananas left. They are on the verge of being unusable. Never made a smoothie, but I'm thinking of trying it. Have strawberries and pineapple, too and almond milk...
{{{HUGS}}}
I'm not much for smoothies either-- but-- I bet if yu made it--it would taste good-Lynda
DeleteBe careful with the freezing rain when driving. And Watson surely loves you for looking after him. Take care
ReplyDeleteIt will feel nice not to have to care fir the cat anymore, but it’s nice when they can take their turn, too. Glad Lady Luck helped you, not so much tax to pay! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you I'm having a hard time to stop worrying Life will be what it will be and my worry doesn't change a thing. I'm glad that the money you set aside will pay the taxes you owe. Tax day is not my favorite day!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're done with your taxes for the rest of the year! Woohoo! Intensely wishing for a drastic change of your weather. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteSeems odd you have to pay taxes when you are not working.
ReplyDeleteThe tax system is truly unfair.
