20 March 2025 Income tax and carpet stains

[KathyB]

I was hoping to be able to say whether I owed or whether I was getting a refund, but when I went to my scheduled appointment at my accountant's office today, he was having computer issues and was on the phone with Geek Squad. So I left all my tax documents with him, to be picked up later. I have a buttload of medical expenses for 2024, so many that I might be able to itemize. I paid for a lot of occupational therapy sessions out of pocket because insurance stopped covering after a certain number or amount. (They only covered 50% anyway.)

And somebody got sick from the food that she wasn't supposed to eat, which I didn't put away. She got sick in multiple places mostly over the carpeted stairs, but also in the bedroom and in the living room right in front of her crate. The carpet would definitely benefit from a cleaning. There are a number of carpet cleaners having specials like "three rooms for $xxx," but stairs are extra.

So that has been my Thursday. Frustrating and it will most likely end up being expensive.
