Paperwork

I was spitballing my estimated tax payment for 2024 yesterday. Since it’s due today, I was actually much earlier than I usually am about this. It’s a challenge because of the change in my earnings status; for the past two years I’ve gone down to the wire because I couldn’t predict what the total would be until I’d crossed the line. It should be steadier going forward.

That doesn’t make me happy about it. Paying taxes that are going to support a criminal regime with everyone in office skimming off it does not sit well with me. Sometimes not being a lawbreaker is a moral burden.

But what really got to me yesterday was that, in the process of verifying my retirement disbursement, I came to the beneficiaries page. And I had to remove my sister from the list.

I believe I’m done with this for a while.
