Taxes

Today is a bad, bad day.

The taxes were finished this morning. 
The last year has been turbulant for me, career-wise, so I had been careful to take off some extra tax to cover my freelance. I guess the math was off, because I owe $300. Not horrible.
But Darling Husband owes … ugh, I don’t even want to type it. Three thousand. Three thousand. Something about his work not taking off enough. 

I want to sit under my desk and cry. Everything is so hard right now. It feels like no matter how hard we work, we can never get ahead …

  1. I feel your pain. This past year was hard for a lot of people, myself included. I hate to see how much we owe. Just think, next year you’ll probably get a refund! Maybe some crafting Thursday night will cheer you up?? 😉

  2. Thanks, newlyb. It is really brutal, isn’t it? But you’re right — nothing cheers me up like a good craft-sesh!

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m a writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 12-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep them from taking over my life. Creating things helps.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time with her writing. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
