Do one thing every day that scares you
Nov. 18th, 2011 12:22 pmToday I have written to my accountant-of-long-standing, to introduce him to the notion that I am departing these shores. I have Absolutely No Idea what the tax implications are, of this move; I don't even know if I'll have to declare my income this side or that side or both.
If I only do one thing every day that scares me, I wonder if I will have done enough, by the time I leave? I'm not sure that one will cover it...
In other news, if I'm not going in to the library today - and I think that's definite now - then I ought at least to lay out the MS of House of Bells downstairs, so that I can at least pretend that I'm going to think about working on it here. I feel awful, but it's due back next week. ("Easy-peasy," I said, when that deadline was proposed. I really shoulda known better, but I hadn't budgeted for high-grade dental infections with concomitant disabling quantities of pain. Really I just wanna sprawl on the sofa under a burden of cats and maybe watch a comfort movie, read more Modesty Blaise, something like that...)
I had a really lovely dinner out with
fjm last night: non-alcoholic cocktails and then an Indian restaurant on the wrong side of the river, with unfamiliar menu-choices and an excellent chef. I didn't even miss drinking, except that it might've helped me sleep after. I still don't know quite how it happened, but I do have fabulous friends.
