By the way, we got VISA/MASTERCARD terminal last Fall - no more 'I forgot my checkbook' excuses. No pay, no return. Amazing how many people will have a VISA in their wallet. I don't mind paying the 2% or whatever, I'd rather have 98% now than wait a year and hound them to death for 100% later.}} By the way, we got VISA/MASTERCARD terminal last Fall - no more 'I forgot my checkbook' excuses.

Ahhh...today was the time change. I woke up and realized I missed church on TV....I haven't found a church in my town that I yet want to attend...I am still somewhat "tied" to my Orlando Roots....but here I go to my office.

Piles of work ahead of me....with all that is going on, I just took a clonapin (prescribed by my dr when going through a divorce) so it is legal. I am sending letters, trying to collect funds and running #'s for someone who will not pay me.

I just can't pick up a return right now...even for pay....I am sad I am distraught but I need a kick in my ass to get going once again.

Too many sticks in the fire and I am ready for one day off...just one....maybe find a new place to live (got less than 3 weeks now) and haven't packed a thing. I feel I am in a depression but somehow to get past the bullshit, I need to find a happy medium.

I really hate to appear as the "oh poor is me soul"...it is not my intention. I just need to get my groove back on!! Any suggestions?

Pepperoni, green pepper, & onion pizza. A couple of beers. Movies of your choosing. Turn off phone, put down your work, and call it a day. See ya tommorrow!

Sandy, find ONE RETURN that you can finish. Even a simple one. Finish it. Celebrate by having a cup of hot tea.

Then find another that you can finish.

I keep a tally of finished returns - my celebration is making my tick marks. I compare where I am this year with where I was this time last year. To be even with last year, I've got to do 16 more returns today. I'm picking the easiest ones so that I can feel like I've accomplished SOMETHING.

By the way, we got VISA/MASTERCARD terminal last Fall - no more 'I forgot my checkbook' excuses. No pay, no return. Amazing how many people will have a VISA in their wallet. I don't mind paying the 2% or whatever, I'd rather have 98% now than wait a year and hound them to death for 100% later.
