Stresssss
This day touched every single one of the things that majorly stress me out. A couple of them are un-blahggable but taxes are not. Jeebus.
The GG was in his lair ALL DAY, emerging at random moments to pepper me with random questions. Where is this document, where is that. I could swear I put the Planet Ann Arbor winter property tax doc in his lair but it didn’t seem to be found. I used my ninja computer skills to find the invoice online and printed it out for him. I hoped that the printer starting up would jump him out of his skin but it didn’t, because I had to yell from the front living room, “Did you get that?”
Then there was the missing 1099 from our main bank (checking and savings). I do NOT know what happened to that but I do know how to find at least some tax documents online from our bank. The GG couldn’t find it. Within two minutes, I found the l099 on the bank website and printed it out. Again, I wanted to surprise him and again, I had to yell from the living room, “Did you get that?” It was eleven dollars or so. I mean, it is interest on *bank accounts*.
We won’t even talk about the moomincabin taxes. I paid the summer taxes by writing a check. I paid the winter taxes online. But I used a credit card, which I didn’t remember so it took me a while to find the invoice but I did. With my ninja skills. I guess we did talk about the moomincabin taxes after all.
I think that we are finished with taxes except for a document that arrives in March and then we can send this stuff off to the accountant. Will the GG and the accountant agree this year? Last year they were three dollars apart. Probably because most accountants drop anything after the decimal point. Why bother?
People. Almost all routine tax documents are available online. If you are missing a 1099 for whatever reason, you can probably get a copy via your online banking app. Anyway. What’s the point of reporting eleven dollars and some change?

Tax time used to stress me out MAJORLY! Husband was self-employed and he had to organize all the paperwork; it was mostly out of my control. Except the nagging. Hope that all is well in your world and that the unbloggable stresses work out. Hugs!
