Business

Doing this year’s taxes has made me realize that as my business develops, I will need to keep track of expenses including insurance, vehicle mileage, equipment, books, etc.

Working on the closets

Organized and cleaned the closet under the stairs before Christmas. Now, I am working on my clothes closet, bookcase and craft drawers. I don’t feel like I can tackle the entirety of any of these 3, but can definitely make some progress.

Tonight I spent about 1/2 hour. Closet is neater but only slightly less full. Got rid of lots of solo socks. About a half dozen books came off the shelf, and pulled a camera and high school dissection kit out of the craft drawer. Will take some thought to decide how to get rid of the camera; cost a lot when I bought it “used” back in the day, but a quick look on eBay tells me they’re almost worthless today. ... Good lesson there!

Corollary goals:
- Make a donation of items to Good Will, keeping track of all donated items for next year’s taxes.
- Organize the photos that had been stashed under the stairs.
