Note: I was avoiding looking at any of my tax papers. I often owe more than I think I could make, and this year, I felt, there would be a continuation of the usual gouging. Well, I just found out my accountant was a genius with my bills and expenses and I am actually getting something back. I just checked the portal my long-time accountant uses online to see what magic he practiced this year.

Oh, and for those of you south of the border, Canada's deadline is the 30th of April. May will be rather sweet.

Refund? Four digits?

An accounting error? No?

I accept the news.
