Tuesday, February 21, 2006Productive?Well, my Federal refund came in a few days ago. So today I wrote out checks for the State and city taxes I owe due to not knowing changing your Federal withholdings also changes your state and city withholdings. :p They go out with tomorrow's mail. I also ordered Star Trek: The Next Generation the complete series. I went to get the $100 in amazon.com gift certificates my credit card offered as Thank You Rewards, but it turns out they didn't give them to me online. I have to wait 4-6 weeks to get them! So I bought ST:TNG without them, and will just have to use the gift certificates on something else. (Like buying SQ DSV gifts?)The rest of the refund is supposed to go towards savings: some to the Furnace Fund (for when I have to buy a new one since mine is well over 20 years old), and some to the Travel Fund (for either going to Europe with Mom, or traveling out West). I have to remember to open a savings account specifically for the Funds so I don't accidentally or intentionally spend the money on stuff I shouldn't. I did also get work done today. And sent off the money to pull Michael's account out of the negatives until he gets his bank to right things. How is it almost 4pm and that's all I've gotten done? I made myself agree that if I stayed home to work today that I had to do some writing and exercise. It's almost 4pm, and grr. Oh, I did organize some pictures on my computer too. I still need to pick out the ones I want to print for Sahara's book and get them in there. I also have most, if not all, of my medical information spread out on the living room floor as part of my next project. So many projects! Many not even started. Someone be sure that if I don't get any writings up today to berate me mercilessly until I do. This is unacceptable. I didn't stay home to not get things done, especially writing. |
