I had a week's worth of dishes done by 9a this morning, then we hit the road to run errands.

Started in on the taxes, again, about 1p and have just now given up until Monday when I will work on getting more figures and paperwork to do them online at turbotax. Discouraging as I can't get access to some other info I need until Monday and so far it says we will only get back 58 dollars! That's with over $1900 in med copays and about $2300 in other medical expenses. I thought we'd be able to deduct the home improvement of $1800 for dead tree removal and tree trimming, but I guess not. Maybe I'll look at another tax service. My dau. just paid $200 for H&R Block to do hers! (Not something I will do!) Anyway, I have made a valiant effort to have them done by the end of Jan.:-)
