I talked to my doctor today. I'm not getting my hopes up yet because it might not be approved, but he said there's probably a good chance it will be. Especially given my history, losing jobs and other opportunities due to mental health, past suicide attempts, etc. He said it all plays a role in filing.Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Fuck fuck fuckity fuck.
Trying to do my taxes this year (using TurboTax because it's just convenient) and right now, it looks like on the hook to pay back over $800.
FUCK.
I miss when I used to get some decent returns, instead, but I must be making so much now that I've moved into a different tax bracket. And I don't really have enough other things to declare to reduce it any.
EDIT: I'm tempted to apply for the disability credit, but I don't know if my ongoing struggles with depression and ADHD would count. On a good day, I can function through a work shift, even if most days, I want to cry and quit.
A friend of mine had a summer study in England. He left Dallas at 85 degrees, cool for that time of year. He landed in London at 90 degrees. Which is very hot for England. So hot that the black top roads in the rural areas sloughed off into the ditches. The tar was set to survive winters not hot summer days.We're on vacation in southern Spain. That's great.
We've been here a little over a week now. We've seen one dry day, and not a single day over 15°C (~60°F).
All the locals are happy they're finally getting some much-needed moisture and aren't facing a heat wave in spring for the first time in years, but it still kinda sounds that the same week or family and friends at home have been enjoying 20°C+ (~70°F) and sunshine.
I've made it snow in Florida, my wife has made it rain in the Sahara, together we've seen the hottest heat wave ever recorded in Norway, and the coldest summer in Madeira. I swear we need to start selling our services to areas in draught and whatever.
When I lived in Spain, what I remember is that it rained pretty much solidly from the last week of September until the first or second week of December, excepting for a bare handful of days. I think they're good.we need to start selling our services to areas in draught and whatever.
...mainly in the plain?When I lived in Spain, what I remember is that it rained....
You can always watch the Family Guy spoof. It's quicker.Some day, maybe I'll actually see that.
Until then, all I know is that it's yet another movie where Rex Harrison doesn't actually sing.

It is probably both cheaper and more expedient to just become an Australian (or whatever...pick a Western country) citizen at this point instead of remaining mired in the medical hellscape that is America.Just got back from my first dentist appointment in over 20 years.
My acid reflux has eaten away so much of my enamel that I require caps on all of my teeth.
I will be back in debt forever again.
I feel like this is a manifestation of that economic boots theory, where if you'd been able to get regular checkups over the last 20 years then it wouldn't ever have gotten to this point.Just got back from my first dentist appointment in over 20 years.

The Sam Vimes Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness. Yes, it has its own Wikipedia entry.I feel like this is a manifestation of that economic boots theory, where if you'd been able to get regular checkups over the last 20 years then it wouldn't ever have gotten to this point.
