Getting it Together

So it's a New Year, and time to get my life on track. I need to get all my loose ends tied up. This time of year I begin to stress, a lot. Taxes, they always drive me nuts. This year since I'm finally divorced, I am filing single again. I always have weird stuff with my taxes and luckily I can still use my same tax preparer that I've used for the past few years. I'll be a big ball of stress until mid March, yippee. (Can you feel the sarcasm?)

New Year's was great. Clay and I went downtown and got a few drinks, but we came home before midnight so we wouldn't be on the road with the drunken masses. After we got home, we had a great time ringing in the new year. Just the two of us. It's the way we both wanted to start the year, together.

So far this year I've tried to get things together. I am trying to get my house stuff in order.I need to get the title changed over to my name alone, so I can refinance or get my ex's name off the loan. My tenant is paying something now, but he's still behind. If he can't get caught up, then out he goes and the house goes on the market. I'm giving him a chance since he's a friend. I'm probably being too nice, but that's just the person I am. I care about my friends and will always give them the benefit of the doubt. So he gets one last chance to get it all caught up.

I really want this year to start out right. I want life to be in order. Maybe find a house to buy that I actually live in. Maybe get to a point where I feel safe enough to start a family. Wish me luck.
