I mean, a full-time housewife!<br />... I mean, a full-time freelancer! :-D<br /><br />Because my last day at work was Friday. One more milestone down.<br /><br />On Day 1 (Monday) I did what I thought was the majority of my taxes, only to find out that I was facing almost $2000 in taxes (federal + state) due to having earned almost $7500 in freelance income in 2013. So I spent the bulk of yesterday going back through my 2013 credit card statements to claim Every Single Possible Deductible Expense, with the help of a shiny new OpenOffice spreadsheet, and succeeded in getting that tax bill down to about $700. Go me!<br /><br />Also, <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://taylweaver.livejournal.com/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif' alt='[livejournal.com profile] ' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' width='17' height='17'/></a><a href='http://taylweaver.livejournal.com/'><b>taylweaver</b></a></span> had us over for lunch this past Shabbat, and <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://jessruth.livejournal.com/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif' alt='[livejournal.com profile] ' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' width='17' height='17'/></a><a href='http://jessruth.livejournal.com/'><b>jessruth</b></a></span> came over on Sunday to help us start packing (and eat lentil stew and homemade cookies). And we packed another 5+ cartons of books last night, with more to come tonight.<br /><br />Also, yesterday was <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/end-support-help">Death of Windows XP Day</a>.

I apparently have a much neater sense of code than plenty of the geeks I know.<br /><br />Earlier this month I had to take an ASP script and re-write it by hand to be a different script. Gah.<br /><br />Then I took a ColdFusion page and moved all the bits around to be a completely different page. Cut-and-paste programming my specialty.<br /><br />Today, for completely unrelated work reasons, I registered myself as an Apple Developer. (No, I haven't in fact developed anything for iOS, whyever do you ask?)<br /><br />Right now, I'm downloading the <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u2-download-1377129.html">Java SE Development Kit</a> by way of the <a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html">Android SDK</a> so I can <a href="http://androinica.com/2010/08/how-to-install-apps-to-the-sd-card-by-default-on-android-2-2-froyo/">fix the memory issues on my phone</a>.<br /><br />Yeah.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=chanaleh&ditemid=280663" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
