evening update, Tuesday March 3
Mar. 3rd, 2020 05:49 pmThings done since my previous post:
1. My 2pm client turned out to be a consult who just wanted to know if they could file as married filing jointly given that their spouse moved out of state for a job halfway through the year. (The answer is yes of course on the federal level -- the IRS doesn't care -- but on a state level it's probably better to do married filing separately with the spouse as a part-year resident. And yes, you can use different filing statuses for federal and state tax returns.) The client then left to gather their tax documents and said they'd make a new appointment when they had everything pulled together.
But then I got a 2:30pm walk-in, so that was all right.
2. Bought groceries after clocking out at 4pm. Realized once I got home that I forgot three items (and by forgot, I mean "forgot to add them to my list in the first place," not "failed to use my list as intended"), but they're all fairly small and/or light so I have written a new list and will pick them up tomorrow.
3. Wrote ~125 words of the untitled Narnia bridge fic, and another ~225 words of the Doctor Who/Magnus Archives crossover.
4. Read chapter 9 of A Fistful of Shells.
I then decided against doing laundry this afternoon/evening, because A) it's raining and B) I am very tired. So instead I am eating supermarket sushi for dinner and intend to go to bed around 7pm.
And that has been my day.
