Ugh, another week that I need to work hard to find something positive to write about. On the CityStrides.com web site, I have stiff competition in Staten Island, NY to regain my number one spot, but a morning walk that would get me at least five streets completed had to deleted. I forgot to stop the Strava app when I started driving to work. I was able to crop the route in Strava, but I already deleted the activity in CityStrides, somehow it wouldn't sync again. Oh well, what else...? Oh, right, the stock market crashed, rich people were cued to buy low, then President Inside Trading halted the tariffs so the market would go back up and rich people got richer, what's not to like? Speaking of poor people get poorer, it is almost Tax Time. This year I was diligent and dropped off my paperwork with the tax accountant almost a month before the April 15 deadline. The person there that evening scanned the documents and gave the stack back to me. Supposedly I only needed to answer a few simple questions in their web portal, then three weeks later the tax forms would be done. When the time came, I called hoping to pick up the completed paperwork but some grouchy woman said they were running behind so it wasn't ready. Another week went by and I called again, this time I asked if I would need an extension. The woman on the phone, someone different from the one last time, said somehow there was only a Schedule C in my file. No W-2, bank statements, the usual lot! Luckily, she offered to take care of it first thing in the morning, a Saturday, if I can bring the documents in. I followed through and next day by the time I had a late breakfast, all was done. I owed some money but at least it's over, for this year. That's the silver lining I had to dig deep to find, so sad.
