Yowza!

On a whim, I checked my account balance, and my state tax refund finally trickled in! Insult to injury, it's been sitting there since the 3rd. The $120 will certainly be helpful in bridging the gap...

Winter Storm Niko

The snow began around 8:00 am, and is still falling a little bit now (6:00 pm). The plow guy just left.

Nearly 12 inches, taken at 4:00 pm.

I had Bob Marley One Love (an awesome Ethiopian) coffee, cereal and a blueberry muffin for breakfast, while I watched sports tv and the weather. I received my federal tax return, and promptly paid my utility bill, and put aside next month's rent. I did a little drawing while I was online. I had cold Chinese food for lunch, broken into two rounds, and an apple too. I worked out from 5:00 - 6:30.

Final snow total: 14½". Whew!

Ridiculous

I just finished filing my taxes. So much for "free" filing!:

• $35 for federal (because it wasn't a 1040EZ)
• $37 for state
• $35 to e-file - WHAT THE F#%&???

So I spent over a hundred dollars to get my money back.

And what the hell?? Freaking Family Dollar was so stingy on hours, except for the 11 weeks I was salaried, that my refund is barely over $1,000!

I need to move to Canada...
