I spent my weekend with old and new friends at Technicon, got away from math for a while, and had a wonderful time.

Today I’m back to the taxes, and panicking that my accountant is going to have time to do them once I get all my paperwork finished — I’ve been line-iteming every receipt that came into the house last year (if you’re self-employed, each year yields a trashbag full of receipts that must be gone over for every single deductible item, because the self-employed pay double FICA, and you do everything you can to make sure you aren’t paying more than you have to. The self-employed almost never get refunds; we break even, or we owe.)

I HATE this time of year.
