Taxes and such boo hiss

Whatta day.... federal, state taxes filed. Property taxes assessed for 2012 and paid for 2011... Homer's licensed renewed. A bill arrived for a doctor we thought was covered --- scheduled it for payment... sigh

Sooooo what's money anyway... hah --- I do hope the people who have money will have to pay their fair share. Just rankles me that we the middle class just absolutely pay through the nose for such.

I want the same insurance and tax rate that the dipshits in congress have.... All that money gone for campaigning... that is just wrong. stupid.

I don't mind paying taxes. I'm an American and it's necessary. But there just has to be a better way ...

Now, I'm checking insurance. I had a very good policy for years. I had to change it when we moved from Texas to Arkansas. I just chose AARP - Hartford because no matter what ... it would be nationwide.

I've written an email tonight asking their roadside service information. I know I have towing but if I lock myself out or the battery doesn't start or a flat... whatever. I want that security.

All the legal have to's are done. I now need to get Homer beautiful and serviced -- then make him my home .... then clear my bedroom of m'stuff so the kids can move in.

The commitment is for two years. They are wanting to save money and feel at home. I will travel about until I get too homesick for my g'baby.... come back and get a motor home and then whatever.

I could become fodder for a sand dune the first week out... who knows...

I'm and I've never been afraid much of dying... it's the process. I do not ... please dear Universe, God, Benevolent Spirit, the Who that is charge.... please try to arrange for me to go in one piece... the thought of becoming disabled and lying in a nursing home?

I would rather die and I will see to it I have any strength at all... don't want to go out that way. That cute little Davy Jones... didn't feel well... and boom! gone.... sad for those who loved him and he left behind but great for him! That's how I'd like to go... just wham! adios sayonara aloha hasta le wago, chow, toodle oo and kitchie koo...

sleepy ...

night all.. ;)

  1. Good Morning Carolyn, I'm glad that you are all done with the taxes and the registration. That's history...

    Now to the next step, moving into Homer. I truly don't know how you can do it but I sure admire you for it. I have so much that I would want to bring with me , my hobbies and books and little comforts that I don't think I could do it for more than a couple of weeks at the most.

    March is here and we missed the storm that we were supposed to get. The sun is shining and all is well. My stairs are finished and I'll be putting the last coat of polyurethane on them this afternoon.

    Have a good day preparing for your next adventure. Hugs. JB

  2. Good morning, Julia... thanks and well, that's part of why I travel. That is my hobby.

    One side of my kitchen is filled with storage chests of the remnants of my shop where I made jewelry. I do like that but I like watching and helping others make stuff --- I miss that.

    I love waking up in a different place ... with the sun and have the freedom to choose whatever it is I feel like.

    It's a selfish lifestyle but it's who I am. I've always been a wanderer and when I've tried to not be a wanderer is when I get all discombobulated... Hahaa

    As I've written... haven't a clue why I'm this way... I just am.

    Looking forward to your 'finished' pictures!

    It's been beautiful weather here too although all around have been extremely destructive tornadoes... half a dozen or more killed.

    We're at the edge of such storms... it's really eerie that Little Rock is experienceing gorgeous weather and less than an hour away ... devastation...

    However... you never know...

    and yes.. today I'm busying myself with cleaning Homer and getting him all spruced up... ;)

    I loved reading the comment from your grandaughter! sooooooo precious!

  3. I don't think it's a selfish lifestyle at all - it is self-sufficient though.

  4. It is self sufficient, isn't it? … thanks Gypsy… I like depending just on me. That's part of the gypsyness….

    That's a good ponder! I dislike feeling obligated to anyone. One reason I guess I'm not a very good gift receiver. I like doing or giving stuff to people but I'm uncomfortable when I'm the recipient…

    I'm not a generous person, really, but when I do something or give something … I like to do it anonymously or if that can't be done then a 'thank you' once is quite sufficient …. I do appreciate a thank you but then move along… know what I mean?

    isn't that interesting… Haha… I mean… hmmmm
