Taxing Dreams

I had strange dreams last night, involving finding a place to live, the girl Crispina from "The Magdalene Sisters" movie, and old college friends.

Weird.

I don't know why I had such dreams. I guess I have an overactive imagination. I got quite a bit accomplished last night, including preparing and e-filing our tax returns and making business cards for DH. I remember that I went to bed feeling very satisfied with myself, so perhaps that is why I had a lot of dreams. My mind felt free to wander and to make up interesting scenarios, instead of feeling so exhausted that it blacks out entirely.

I do feel a lot more balanced these days. I do what needs to be done instead of procrastinating.
*laughs* However, I had been procrastinating doing the taxes. This is the first year in my many years of working that I actually prepared them myself using the website freetaxusa.com. I found it through the irs.gov website. It cost $9.95, but that was better than spending $150 as I have done in the past at H&R Block. Not that there's anything wrong with H&R Block. I just don't have that kind of money this year to spend. It took me about an hour and a half to get everything completed, because I had to reboot once during the process AND I'm on dialup. :) The whole process was very simple, and I highly recommend it.

It looks like we'll be getting a nice chunk of change back from the government, after lending it to them freely all year long. I'm just grateful we don't have to pay anything.
