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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
