Tears and Taxes

I'm (finally) pulling together all my tax paperwork to send to the accountant. I've been good at getting that done in February but this has been an unusually busy year so far.

I didn't expect it to make me cry (and no, not for the reason you think!)

Looking at all those entries reminds me of the details of last year and last year was one of the personally most difficult years I've had as an adult. My mom's long decline to death through dementia. My close friend's insanely rapid decline to death through cancer.

It took a huge toll on me and one of the things that suffered was my bookkeeping. I did not keep up with it and I know I'm missing all kinds of deductions.

Gotta forgive myself for that. Life trumps sometimes.
