My anxiety level is skyrocketing as it is almost the deadline for filing with the IRS. All my forms are somewhere on my accountant’s desk – I hope she’s at least looked at ‘em. I think all those H&R Block commercials with frantic people stressed out from the impending deadline are adding to my anxiety. Yes, H&R Block, we all know you’re season is about to end. Please, don’t remind me!

Hopefully the IRS won’t screw me up the rear like they did last year (I’m a poet and I didn’t know it). In addition to my 1099, I have two W-2 forms and I did pay out A LOT in income taxes. I’m estimating a $500 bill to the U.S., and $300 to good ol’ Massachusetts. Of course, that is only a guesstimate based on what I was forced to pay last year. If my site isn’t updated for weeks, you’ll know that the actual bill was much higher and I ultimately jumped off the Tobin Bridge.
