The pile of leaves and debris grew today. Added about 720 liters of packed leaves and some dirt and sticks. Had about 110 liters of dirt too. There was one pile on the grass that needed to be moved and I cleaned up the mess the chickens made in the driveway by scratching too. Need to set raised beds before I can gather up more good stuff.

True Life with ADD (or as some call it ADHD) #ADHD #ADD #Taxes #April15 #TaxDay

For an American who has ADD, on Tax Day April 15, it tends to be a rather "fraught" day. I ALWAYS expect I will be ready ahead of time and at the very least, know where my W-2 forms are and have the free tax prep service I use ready to fire up on the desktop computer.

Reality: The "special place" I put my W-2 forms for this year is again completely a mystery. Every dang year I decide on the day they arrive by mail, "THIS year" I am putting them in such an extra special place, they will be right at hand.

(Who am I kidding?)

My day: 6 am to 2 pm, intensive search for those damn forms. I did manage to learn something over the years, since this is always a BIG FAT PROBLEM, I use that time to throw away paperwork and stuff I have not bothered to cull or file away. I now have my usual 5 pound bag of paperwork to recycle. And I managed to cull extra documents in 3 file boxes AND, omg, I got nice label maker labels on brand new file folders for this year 2025!

But, although this sounds great, that was a really stressful 8 hours. Taxes files and I already got verification the Federal tax submission is accepted. State of AZ may be a week yet. Direct deposit on the refunds, so $1,600 is going to be very appreciated in my account in about a week or 2.
