Tax Time Tradition

Once again, I’ve upheld my time-honored tradition of getting my taxes in the mail at the last minute.

Just like every other year that I’ve promised myself that I’d get them mailed off weeks in advance…

Of course, it didn’t help that we had some sort of stomach virus making the rounds in our family over the past several weeks. First Jamie was sick for about a week, then Claire got it the next week, then Susan had it after that. Fortunately, Mary never caught it, and I either got a weakened strain or my system just fought it better, because I only had a few days of mild symptoms.
