It really does spoil a perfectly good day. This time it took 13 hours, 8:30 AM to 9:30 PM. No lunch break but several for the potty. I did take 30 minutes for a beans and franks dinner. So make it 12 \u00bd hours.<\/p>\n<p>Its called \u201cDoing the Taxes.\u201d Yeah, I know a lot of folks knock that off about January 3 but for me, I have to wait for all the paperwork and close the books on two small businesses, The Hobbyist Machine Store and Gloria Kautz Piano Studio (lessons). The truth is I also just don&#8217;t like all the records research. The joke about the TV ad Tax Services is they don&#8217;t invent the records, they are only as good as the records you keep. However, they really earn their keep in getting it all on the tax forms correctly<\/p>\n<p>I am a Turbo-Tax guy, \u201cHome and Business\u201d version. I&#8217;d really be dead without a system.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is the e-file went so fast I had full acceptance before I went to bed. Uncle Sam seems to be at the top of his game in getting them filed and approved. I am getting a refund so that is good.<\/p>\n<p>It sure is a great day today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I tackled one of my least liked annual events yesterday (Saturday).
