| From Reverend Ken's Birthday Bash and Survivor's Ball: "Starry Night" |
I had a lot of plans for today. I was going to get my tax forms from my brokerages (only available since last night, when I was otherwise busy), then there was a political fundraiser/concert I had bought a ticket for, and then an open mic I wanted to go to.
But it snowed, and snowed pretty hard, beginning last night and not ending while I was awake today.
Par for the course in Syracuse. I should probably get snow tires, I believe I would feel better about driving in the snow, since I have to drive everywhere to get around. But I decided to forgo the concert - chalk it up to a campaign contribution for the progressive musician running - I'm glad to help. And open mics come and go.
So I stayed home and did my taxes.
It took a long time - almost seven hours! - because I had to list all my stock and trading activity, which was quite a lot last year (and will be much more next year, since I only started my trading in October!.
But when it was done, I realized that the withholding from my last month at the VA would have covered my entire tax bill for the year. I will be getting the biggest refund I had ever gotten, I started re-doing my budget, and checking flights to Los Angeles and AirBnB listings for Sherman Oaks.
I didn't finish the flight stuff, my first choice was nixed by Alex, who won't be available part of the trip, forcing me to look later.
I am grateful to have an abundance mind-set, and I am almost superstitious in the way that has actually manifested.

Diet Comment
Not only was yesterday's large one-day increase in weight anomalous, but with one very good, low-calorie, totally on-plan day, I've more than gotten rid of it, I'm at a new low weight for the year. And I'm not hungry.
