Taxes Are so Complicated and My Filing System is a Mess

By the time my taxes are filled, my office files will be in much better order.

That is a goal so I won’t have so much trouble in the coming years when preparing my tax information. And some information that I need to have easy access to in case I need to go through an evacuation in the future will be filed so I can easily grab it. Or put in a waterproof container . . .

There are so many parts of my office that need help right now. The Commonwheel Art Festival office side is a mess! The items I use for taking photos of my FantaFaces and Trust items are piled in an area that has other things I need access to at times. And all my Public Domain books, Young Living files and fun ideas for children’s books are mixed into an area that also has Trust items.Then there is the scanner I bought and haven’t opened or tried to use . . .

Gads, what a crazy place I work in.

Luckily I do work well surrounded by chaos and rarely can’t put my hands on something I need for the project I am working one. Still, will be good to do a few more 4 hours of time focused on getting these areas a bit more orderly.

Need to get a clear email written to my Coach about what I want help with for the last four calls. I am sure he is frustrated that we hadn’t finished this last year. But flooding in Manitou Springs, hacked web sites, relocating an Art Festival in less than 3 weeks, a bit of ill health and just life has made it difficult for me to get to a place that it would be worth the cost I paid for the Coaching to do it sooner. By the end of February, I should be at a place that I can define what I need and have the calls focus on those areas.

Connected with one of the people I am working on a book with by email. He is extremely busy on really good projects. And I had misinterpreted what he was aiming for in restructuring the one book. But all easily fixed. With luck, he will call me tomorrow and we can get it sorted out by talking rather than emails. And he has another project coming up that I could help with, so that would be good to talk about in person, not just emails.

Got 3 new FantaFaces masks made tonight for Etsy. I also set up four with Ostrich Plumes to feather later this week. Then I discovered the missing ones. Too bad I made another Rose colored one before finding the two Rose ones that were hiding from me. And they were attached to the same mask board that the blue one I couldn’t find was tied. I guess there was a reason the person who ordered the blue one was suppose to get the more expensive one with the Macaw feathers for the price of the blue one with Ringneck Pheasant tails.

Yes, my studio needs some attention also to get squared away. Though this is the first time I couldn’t find something I needed there . . . Weird.

Had a fun time last night dancing to Tiny Barge and the Big Chill at Stargazers in Colorado Springs. Had wanted to go dance to Arch Hooks at the Townhouse in Manitou Springs, but just don’t have the energy to finish my blogs, change clothes and walk down there. And my knee is acting a bit painful, so don’t need to stress it with another night of dancing.

And after getting a good, long sleep last night, I think I probably could use another full night sleep tonight to keep me energized and focused on the work I need to do tomorrow.

Though if my friend drops by when the sun is shining and asks me if I want to go for a short walk/hike, I won’t turn her down.
