At least when I go to the gym, I make it out of the house for a while. Today, however, I took the day off because my back hurt yesterday and I didn’t want to aggravate it. I don’t feel that bad, but who wants to make things worse? Instead I spent ALL DAY (that means from about 10AM to 7PM) doing my taxes. Most of it was just taking all the Goodwill receipts and entering them into a the “It’s Deductible” web site so I could get them into TurboTax. It paid off financially but my mother’s penmanship is atrocious and it took some doing to figure out what it was we gave them.

It’s funny. I don’t mind paying my taxes and I’ll even support paying more, but I sure do like getting a refund.

I have even more Kindle 2 envy now. My sister came by this morning because she was doing her long run in the neighborhood and she brought the Kindle 2 so I could look at it. I’m not sure if it will save me any money in the long run. Now when I buy books, I lend them to my sister and she lends me her books as well, so we spend less than we normally would. But buying a Kindle 2 will cut down on all the trees I’m killing, won’t it? Oh, the choices we have to make.

So now I just have to do my mom’s taxes. At least hers are usually a lot easier to handle.
