119/365 (April 29, 2010) – Finished the income taxes today, and dealt with my GST. Glad that’s all over. Decided I deserved some tulips for the effort. I’m not really into pink, but they were sort of "Springy". Bit difficult to get home on the scooter, but they made it unscathed.

I hate doing taxes. Mainly because I always owe a ton of money. And this year I was a bit nervous of doing them since we were dealing with capital gains for the first time. In the end, since I didn’t make as much money as last year, and since we dumped a whack of money into my RRSP, we ended up pretty much flat, with about $50 coming back to each of us. A darn sight better than the thousands I thought we’d owe. I now definitely see the benefit of the RRSP shelter!
