This STINKS!!!! I just got my second W-2 that I was waiting on. I did my taxes and I went from $2900 to $782. All I am getting is $782. This will get 1 bill paid off. Why are single people killed in taxes? I tried to itemize and no can do. Doesn't add up to more than my standard deduction. All the other plans I had are out the window. At least I get my pay raise in April.

I am looking at buying a new computer toward the end of this year. Maybe, it depends on the financial outlook at that time. My new job still has not sent me my W-2. This is the last one I am waiting on. I am hoping to pay off at least 2 bills with my tax refund. The song that should be on the bottom of this post is a great song.

Got some much needed rest today. It has been a busy week at work. Relaxing this weekend will be good. Henry is doing great. He just got his hair cut. I will be updating the website in the next month or so. I am working on several side projects. Take care to all!

My new work team seems to be a lot of good people. The new shift is doing good on the body. Off today and tomorrow have to run something over to the doctor's tomorrow.

Well, I finished the fresh install of Windows XP and put the new Office 2003 on my system. I hope it holds all year. Seems to be working great. No bugs. Got my webcam picture back just have to start loading it up. They only thins is I have to get used to the Outlook 2003. Totally different interface. Well, to my new work time tomorrow. Take care to everyone.

Well, this is new. This is the first time I have called out of sick for an entire day at my new job. I have a sinus headache, low grade fever and an overall feeling of fatigue. I think it just the change in weather. Felt pretty good yesterday but woke up not to good. I think all the long hours I have been putting in his contributed to my decline. I am sleeping mostly. I just woke up after being a sleep for most of the day except a 2 hour stretch this afternoon.

I went to the doctor yesterday for a yearly physical. So far, I gotten green thumbs but we have to wait for the blood test and another test because there was a little problem. However, the little problem so far is not a big problem and the Doctor just thinks it might be a benign problem. I don't want to go into too much detail yet. On the downside, they gave me the wrong prescription. I was supposed to get a subscription for Clarinex and they gave me one for Clarintin. Which is stupid I can buy Clarintin over the counter why would I need a prescription for that. Have to go to work early today. I have to attend some training. So it is going to be a long day.

Hope everyone had a great New Year's. As for me, I lazed around all day. I have to go back to work a long weekend. Well, something no one has probably thought about it is time to file taxes again. I hope I get back some good money. I am hoping for anywhere from 1500-3000 back. I have big big plans for the money. If I don't get at least 1500 back I am going to be depressed. Blog at you all later.
