Had a steady day at work, didn't achieve as much as I would have liked towards the end of it and had to discover and fix up one of my old mistakes, which I'm sure it's not the last.

The promised rain never eventuated so I was able to go through with my plan of mowing the lawns when I got home, even did some weeding as well.

This evening I signed my tax return, paid the accountant's bill and entered the tax payments (terminal and provisional) into my forecast spreadsheet. Combined with the recent income downgrade debt-freedom suddenly looks a long way further off, as if I had lost most of the gains I made this year. It's a very depressing feeling.

I know academically that the gains haven't actually vanished, and that I will undoubtedly pay it off much faster than I have allowed for, and even that the provisional was calculated using the current (or even old) tax rates so there is a small chance I may even get a refund next year, and that I'm a hell of a lot better off than most but that doesn't change the sinking feeling that came with seeing those numbers jump.

Only one more thing left on my to do list today, and it's something I havent; been looking forward to.
