This Monday's too taxing for me

 Today I really wanted to get taxes done. 

But first, I packed packages and realized if I just left one large one here, I could take them on the bike and not need the trailer, which means one trip instead of two, and I could do some shopping. So I did that, going to 99 Ranch after the post office and getting things, then dropping the one box off at FedEx, and got back here - it's really been cooling down at night. 

After doing a bunch of other things, I decided tonight I'll get cracking on those 2019 taxes. And I tried; I really tried. It used to be really simple. It was the 1040 and schedules C and SE. Nothing to it. But now it's a lot more pieces of paper, 8 or 12, and when I last filed, my 2018 taxes I didn't do something right and got billed for a few hundred more. So I was really going to do this, but they've made it damned complicated. 

So finally a bit after midnight I admitted defeat. I've found two tax preparers near here, and I'll work with one or the other of them.
