Low-key weekend

J and I had a very relaxing, low key weekend. It was nice - lots of not doing much at all, which is just how a weekend should be. There were naps (for him - I don't nap), and grocery shopping, and Sim playing (for me), reading, college basketball watching and DVD watching as well. It's just the perfect way to spend a weekend, if you ask me.

The DVD that we watched was Rocky Balboa. It was a good movie, I thought. I'm not a huge Rocky fan (J is way more into them than I am), but I enjoyed it, and without saying anything to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, I think that it was exactly what it needed to be, given Rocky's age. It was an enjoyable couple of hours.

So, I did my taxes. I normally have them done by February, because I want my money back as soon as possible. This time, however, I had made a rather significant amount of money at freelance copyediting, none of which was taxed, and I knew I was going to owe money, so I put off doing them. And boy, do I owe! Over $1,000 between federal and state. Sigh. I loved getting that editing money in, but man I am not enjoying the thought of paying that much back in taxes. Oh well. Thank goodness they'll let me pay in installments.

And as if I wasn't paying out enough money in taxes and labwork bills that the stupid insurance company won't pay even though I think they should, I also need to get a new roof. Now, it's not as bad as it sounds, because I don't need to do the whole roof yet - I only need to do the part over the living room extension and the front porch. Still, I'm afraid of how much it's going to cost, I really am. I love owning my own home, but man it would be easier if the house was new instead of over 100 years old and slowly trying to fall apart on me.

Anyway. This entry is going in a whole depressing direction that I didn't intend, so let's turn it around, shall we? Um. Okay, I wish I had a nice picture to post or something, but they're all on my home computer (and I'm at work). So. I'll just say Happy Monday to you! And wrap this up. I hope you all had great weekends, too. And don't let Monday get you down!
