Just Stuff
Apr. 8th, 2008 11:12 pmToday's been one of those frustrating days where I had a list of 200 things I needed to do, and I actually got 100 things done, but almost none of them were also on the 200 list. Sigh.
I mean, it was still a productive day, just not necessarily in a manner I would have chosen.
And T went to school by himself today. I told him last night that I was through with Calculus, that he was now going on his own. And he was okay. Then he got there, and there was a test that he thought was Thursday, and he did the worst he's ever done on a test, 85, and he was STILL okay. These are giant steps for my Aspie.
And I finally wrote a long email to the clarinet lady, telling her how I felt, in a calm and polite and non-hostile, but still firm and clear way. This was about the 5th version. I was rehearsing it as a speech, until I realized I was getting too much pleasure out of the thought of embarrassing her. Plus, I don't care to hear her defense. So I did it the written way.
And I'm still avoiding the taxes. I know I'll have to pay, and i don't think our rebate will be as much as the paying, so I'm in no real hurry. I just got my K-1 form from L.I. Smith & Assoc. today. I own about 1% in my folks' surveying & engineering company, which is an S - corporation. No, I do not know exactly what the S is for. For years it was great, because, after everyone's salary and equipment, and all that, it lost money. But in the last few years it's actually made money, and I haven't been able to use it as a write off. In fact, last year it added about $200 to my tax bill.
so, that's my life, in a nutshell, a very appropriate container.
