Catching Up On Sleep

Date: Jan 21, 2010      Category: General

I miss sleeping. I function better after 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I blame Conan O’Brien, because I’ve been staying up late to watch the NBC debacle. We have a DVR, but I’d hate to wake up in the morning and feel out of loop. Catching zings as they happen is far more entertaining. I’m with COCO!

I haven’t been sleeping well for several reasons. I cannot blame Conan for everything. Life is good but always busy. Taxes are right around the corner. I have a few more deductions to go through and all my 1099s to collect. Freelancing and self-employment cracks me up around tax time. My poor accountant has to sift through several 1099s and schedules. I should have at least 7 different forms to file. So glad my accountant does not charge per form!

Freelancers freak out around tax time. Remember to breathe and go through your write-offs meticulously. You have the right to a lot of deductions, including the use of your home for business purposes.

My husband went back to work. He’s responded well to physical therapy. Standing all day causes some swelling and pain, but it is slowly getting better. I’m looking forward to February. It should be an exciting month for us. Financially we are well on our way and meeting goals. We have a few things happening in our personal life (no babies), so it should be a good month. So much to live and hope for, so much more to achieve together. I’m loving life, even on a bad day.

  1. It is good to hear that your hubby is doing so well. I stopped by to see your writing goal bar to see how far you’ve come. :) Keep your chin up and things will turn out just fine.
