The Lord Giveth, and the Lord Taketh Away

It never fails – whenever I get a windfall, something happens to make it slip right thru my hands pretty much the second I get hold of it.

I was all excited for a while there. Not only are there 3 pay checks this month, but I also got 10 hours of overtime last weekend!

Sweet!

Then, just last night, I get a bill in the mail from my accountant. He discovered that I had somehow neglected to pay him for last year’s tax preparations, so now I owe two year’s worth.

So much for all that “extra money” I was going to have in my bank account.

To look at it more positively, at least I got that bill on a month where I had all that extra money. It could have been so much worse…
