After spending an hour here…

I needed to spend two hours here.
.

.
At the bar of one of our favorite restaurants.
Though this sangria was a tad disappointing…
.

.
The thyme and temp martini and crabmeat arancini appetizer more than made up for it.
.

.
Sicilian Table in Falmouth, home to the fabulous fish.
.

.
And a Wagyu filet in burgundy glaze for the husband.
.

.
Shrimp and scallop lemon risotto for me.
.

.
Tiramisu with brandy soaked cherries?
It almost made me forget how much money we have to pay the IRS.
Almost…
😩

I hear ya, I got $18 whole dollars from them this year, yay! NOT! That food looks scrumptious, I need a drink right now and it’s only 11:26am where I’m at.

Crabmeat rice balls? I wouldn’t mind some of those. Because my income is from 1099R sources and all of them don’t take out Federal and State taxes I now have to use my required 401K payout to pay taxes including on the payout. I don’t have enough income to merit some kind of professional money manager but thankfully enough to live decently. And my H&R Block advisor is a huge help managing what I do have.

With my husband retiring, going back to work and the retiring again… figuring out the right withholding has been a nightmare.

I’m sure there is a joke in there, but I’ll leave it to others to make it. It might involve Barry Manilow.

Tiramisu…Tirami-yes! As far as the IRS is concerned, you have my condolences. It doesn’t quite raise to the level of a root canal…but close.

Too bad you can’t write off the meal as compensation for the pain and stress of paying your taxes.
