This is Where it All Ends... or Begins

Mood: anxious

Why do I feel like tomorrow's my hanging day? It's just a frickin' behind-the-wheel driving test! I should have taken the opportunity to take the test the next day, as I was offered. But no, I had to schedule it for a whole week away. I've spent this week with a gnawing feeling, an "inner nervousness", a dark forboding.

A part of me, a bigger part than I would have ever expected, is having doubts. I feel like there's going to be some little mistake that will prevent me from passing the test. But I try to bash the thoughts down, really knowing, and telling myself, that it's going to be easy. I caught on to this whole driving thing very quickly, and my comfort level while driving is very high.

I need to remind myself that some stupid little test is not going to get in the way of my promise to Bella. I will pass. I will make Bella proud.

I love her dearly. I want her to be proud of me. I want to be proud of myself.

W4 Woes

Mood: disgusted

After years of claiming 2 allowances on W4 forms, I finally found out that it causes underpayment, which explains why I never get a refund back! Bastards! In fact, according to the allowance calculator on the IRS web site (I'm too tired to look up the link, sorry), I will most likely owe $100. I need to change my allowances so that doesn't happen again next year....

I made a very special dinner for Bella for our 30-Month Anniversary (that's two and a half years). I'll describe it in greater detail when I have time. For now, let's just say that we were both very pleased!
