I went to the annual festival of torture known as "visiting the HR Block tax lady to file your taxes." Here's the thing. This year I got … A REFUND!!! This, people, is UNHEARD OF!!! I haven't gotten a tax refund in more than ten years. Last year I owed an extra huge sum to both my lovely State AND the Federal Government AND the other lovely State that I used to live in and still have family business and rental income in. I always pay and pay and pay. So today is an amazingly happy day. I got a refund from my fair State (which apparently will be an IOU for a while). I got a refund from the Federal government and I only had to pay $33.00 to my former lovely State.
Wow!!!
To celebrate, I came home and called Sling Media and paid for tech support so that I could fix my Slingbox and enable Internet viewing. Eddie walked me through the process and now my Slingbox is happy again.
Ahhhh …
The title to my post might not make sense since I have set a few of my more recent posts to myself or friends or family, but suffice it to say that some of my posts of late have been a tad less … errr … UPBEAT …
Happy Spring and happy weekend, everybody!!!
