Bullets about nothing
Feb. 11th, 2015 08:54 amPart of me doesn't miss the gym; it's a lot of hours back in my life. However, I also miss the gym, the fake competition, the shield of meat I wear no matter what I'm not wearing. I even miss the peeling callouses from my hands.
Since I got hurt I moved from "new and exciting music," where classic rock just sounded old and tired...to preferring classic rock as comfortable. I'm not sure how much is hibernating, how much is recovery, and how much is momentum, but I'm quite happy to sit around the house.
I told hitandrun guy to finish up the payments...he email responded with a fedex package of 3 checks all dated for the future: 2/15, 3/1, and 3/15. I told him fine assuming the checks cleared and I'd put them in on the dates indicated...I'm too nice after his multiple failures.
Then there is the girl. I'm used to being liked for my quirks. She likes me despite them (well may be she likes some - ask her). I have fun with her and it's taking effort to keep more socially engaged, but I know for relationship health we should keep hanging out with her friends and mine. I'd rather hear zoo noises from her apt though.
Related - we've been to a few local breweries and beer tastings, and it's amazing...breweries in DC are like hipster day-care. So many bearded men with papooses on.
Taxes are an ow for me this year. I haven't heard from my accountant guy yet, but have started my own taxes on the spreadsheet I designed so many years ago. I'm like my own (actually free) turbotax, only I have to fill out the forms. I'm not happy to find my investment people don't need to give me tax forms until 2/16, and less happy to find my math wasn't 100% and I may owe 4k plus penalty...the main problem being that computing penalties appears to require comparing the prior year taxes (far fucking less) to this year's shortage, then breaking the loss into quarterly payments, computing shortage per quarter, then doing interest formulas on a per day basis for each quarter compounded...though again, while I don't foresee penalties in the future, I do think when I'm done I'll have a spreadsheet that could easily handle it.
If I don't hear from the accountant I have a possible fallback plan with a friend's sister. Still, this isn't the year of depreciating rental properties I anticipated.
Speaking of, likely response from DC on the DC home is not until the end of March.
Hip is hippy...I'm still a little gimpy but my doc appt is tomorrow.
