Mar. 2nd, 2026 12:28 pmIt was -9°C/15°F this morning, a bit of a shock to the system after the milder temperatures over the weekend. I'm so glad I have my rebounder. It's really had a lot of use this winter.
I forgot to mention that my tax preparer finished my tax return last week but we're holding off on filing it until the end of March, in case my Social Security 1099 turns up by then. This is the earliest I can ever remember it being done, because when S was in charge it was always done at the very last minute because she had such a huge mental block about the whole thing. Mind you, there was one source of income she had (from a family trust) which never sent the required tax statement until sometime in March I think, so that didn't help. I will have to pay about $12000 (including both Federal and two states) because I don't have any tax withheld from either SS or investments (apart from a couple of small amounts of state tax) but that's less than I was expecting.

It used to be that you just put in your W-4 for yourself as an individual, and they took out what was considered the average for one person. They don't do that anymore. You have to put an amount in. I wish they'd mentioned that when it changed last year.
