Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
4/14: a day earlier
We've become last-minute tax people; despite annual resolutions to the contrary, we just don't get around to filling out our income tax returns until the deadline looms. We had planned to do it tomorrow morning, but today at lunch we decided to do it this afternoon. Getting all the materials together took longer than we had anticipated so our totting-up lasted into the evening, but we're done now, and it feels good to know that I won't be waking up to that task tomorrow.
We're procrastinators too. Ours are done, but not signed and mailed - that's for Monday.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me feel better: I'm in excellent company!
ReplyDeleteAnd this year, because the 15th fell on Sun and Mon, April 16 was Emancipation Day in Washington DC - the 150th year since Pres Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, - taxe aren't due until today, April 17! You were early!
ReplyDeleteA good thing all around, indeed!
