That's a w00t

[greatbear]

Being a professional crastinator of epic proportions at times, I waited until the last minute to file my taxes, given that I have had to pay sizable amounts in the past since being off work and pulling funds from locked-away accounts. Because of some changes, plus the expensive surgeries and other medical bills from last year, I instead found I am getting a sizable refund. I would've so turned that shit in back in January had I known. That's a w00t.

I finished up more network cabling and installed the super-duper wi-fi access point tonight after climbing about in the attic, lifting the floor up there to run the remaining cabling (the AP needs two Cat6 runs just for it's own bandwidth) and it is now in place with the potential for gigabit-plus speeds wirelessly. That's a w00t.

Jeff and I had a nice steak dinner tonight. So far, my tummy troubles of late have eased enough for me to enjoy a meal with some substantial red meat for a change. That's a w00t.

The weather looks to be on track to be nice enough to finally get some work done outside. I got yard work to continue with, plus the usual springtime maintenance of the vehicle fleet and outdoor equipment, and a heavily laden trip to the landfill/recycling center that was put off since before last September. That's a w00t.

The aforementioned tax refund will be put toward the new front door and entryway renovation/upgrade, plus a business class color laser printer/copier/scanner/fax, as well as costs for the upcoming wedding. I hope my back and general health hold out. I guess that's a w00t too.

Hooray for accidental interest-free savings?

Lots of wonderful woots for you!! Tax wise, I had a small inheritance from my folks and I lived off of my 401K for the four months I was unemployed, plus my two jobs. I dutifully paid federal income tax on both, asked specifically ahead of time if I was meeting all of my obligations, and wound up having to pay state income tax on both. *sigh* ... So, bottom line, I owe on state and am getting back on Federal, almost a washout .... I don't think it's a woot, though ...

THAT'S NUMBERWANG

Good W00t's are always a good thing in my book. :-)

I got some $1100 or so back this year and paid off the credit card, and then put a dollar shy of $400 on the car loan so that was indeed a w00t in and of itself.

Thus it I think helped when I began the whole house buying thing I'm still working on. Got preapproved, and my FICA score that the mortgage lender got was close to my credit score, the lowest being something like 698, the highest 730, or 760 or some such, not bad!

Glad things seem to be moving forward in your life, and that's always a good thing.
