Tues 15 Apr

Tax day. I assume dad had the accountant file online, but I need to check because I haven't seen any actual forms. I did sign a signature card, so that was likely the authorization for online filing. I should remain more aware of how this all works.

Sorry to hear you're feeling down, but glad to hear you're taking some steps to deal with it. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I thought you seemed a little down, but I had chalked it up to crunch time. I'm looking forward to coming down to spend some time with you on Apr 26.

How was the Jeopardy taping? I would have enjoyed seeing that. Hope it met expectations.

Dad got a nasty surprise on our taxes owed. I don't think too much of this accountant if he couldn't have estimated things better throughout the year. Dad had to pay $6500 today - major ouch! And he was so taken aback, he mailed in the forms with the check and forgot that we needed to sign it. Now we won't get our stimulus rebate in the first round because they'll need to send the return back to be signed. Sigh.

On a brighter note, I officially accepted the new job today. I'll start May 8.

Food:

7:00 am 1 c Maple/Brown Sugar Mini-Spooners, 4 oz skim milk, 1/2 grapefruit, coffee
11:45 am Autumn Apple Frost soy bar
2:30 pm 5 Brach's Fiesta eggs (sigh again, the last ones)
5:00 pm 1 Reese's egg

Yeah, I sent in my signature and checks today. Accountant filed online for me, at least. Had to pay about $150, but at least that's less than what I was expecting to.

I'm in kind of a funk as of late; I made an appointment to talk to my therapist on the Thursday after my birthday, and hopefully that'll help at least a little.

Congratulations on the job!! I hope you enjoy it, or at least that it's less stressful than your current job.

What's the deal with the stimulus checks? Do we all get them? How do we know if we're getting one?
