feeling good | creativeartworksblog

I’m feeling good this morning. I was pooped last night and so went to bed early. I feel much more rested today.

I will finish gathering things today for the Veterans Thrift Town donation Monday. It feels good that my gently used stuff might be of use to someone else. I have lots of bags, and I have to admit that PART of the push to finish this project right now is that our teeth cleaning appointments are in Fort Smith Monday. My husband always wants to drive his ‘Vette when we make the trip to Ft. Smith. (He has always driven it too fast for my comfort, but now he really scares my hair off. In any given situation, when I would put on the brakes, he hits the gas.) Since I have so many bags to donate, they won’t all fit in the ‘Vette, so we’ll need to take the truck. :0) I know, it’s a bit devious…

I’m having a good time in my art room. I’m working on a bear with a heart for Valentine’s Day, and am thinking about a raccoon after that. The working hard in my closet/bureau/guest room closet and following that with playing in my art room has been a nice combination for me.

We are supposed to get the hard drive for my new computer today. That means my husband will be finishing up installing the hardware today, and will likely start the installation of Windows 11 on it. Hopefully, that will go well. Fingers crossed.

I hope that today is a good one for you, full of love and fun.

“Cardinal Taking a Bow” – by Norma Wilson

I’ve told you I absolutely HATE tax time – the whole trying to make sense of my records, feeling overwhelmed, etc.

When I finished these and dumped them on our wonderful CPA around the 15th of January, I promised myself I would start a different way of keeping records so that I didn’t hate this time of year so much.

When I created spreadsheets to summarize our receipts in each category, I copied each of them, labeling them “Whatever Category – 2019”. I promised myself that I would take time at the end of each month, enter the relevant numbers into the spreadsheets, and then file the receipts under the appropriate tax category, rather than the month as I have always done.

I just finished entering the information for February – hence the pat on the head and bowing cardinal! :0)

If I can keep this up, at the end of the year I SHOULD be able to just total the categories on the spreadsheets, print them, and bag them up for the CPA.

I’m a bit embarrassed that I have moaned/griped/whined for years about this – never coming up with a better way to attack it until this year.

Someone should say something memorable, such as, “Better late than never….” don’t you think?
