It's first day of working in this new week after an enjoyable weekend. I tried to pick up as much as I could, then went back home in an off-peak hour on I-405 northbound. It's cloudy and raining but I loved it. As I shared, I am concerned the weather turning fantastically too early and don't expect a hot summer. Summer in Seattle is arguably the best in the world: Sunny and Cool. I don't mind to experience a normal April now though I do love warmness and sunshine as every Seattleite else.
I should keep going to gym in weekdays but was too tired to go after the dinner. Staying in bed, I learned GOP in Colorado canceling the Caucus, which sounded in favor of Cruz. I didn't have energy to figure out what happened. As I mentioned, I wouldn't seriously propose for our economy and policy in public until the stage of General Election. Currently, every candidate is trying to downplay others to get nomination. The execution of nominating process has become so bizarre, especially in GOP side.
I noticed IRS had refunded me earlier than it promised on its Website. Combined with my salary in April, after paying property taxes and credit card balance, which included the cost of my son's dorm and dining account in addition to final portion of our vacation expense in Oahu, I wouldn't be able to recover the tuition for Spring Quarter entirely I had paid for my son through the reserves as I had expected. I need to squeeze the cost a little bit more in the rest of the year. However, I feel great that I could get the income tax refunds. Last year, because of the gains in stock markets in 2014, I paid back a couple of thousand dollars; This year, I lost in 2015, but got back a couple of thousand dollars, Though, it's always better to make money, Having the loss offset partially through refunds is a psychological gain. I printed off the backup from my online account to slide them into the binder to close the tax year of 2015 completely because the account will be closed by IRS and every taxpayer needs to open a new one for another tax year in 2017.
