Pause Before the Storm

I have been so busy lately it’s unreal.  I have another test to study for, a project on dental care coming due, a final exam looming near, and not to mention it’s now tax season so on to the coal mines.  If you didn’t already know, I work as a tax preparer during the season every year.  It’s strange because I don’t really look the part.  Some of our customers usually think I’m an intern or a part-time high school student or something.  Imagine their surprise when they find out I’m the one doing their return, some actually panic a little.  It does get insulting sometimes when they prefer to wait for a different preparer with more “experience”.  Technically that would also be me, I have been doing this for a few years.  It does make things a bit more interesting, but just how to balance the time between work schedules, school, household stuff, my cat, and crafts (notice I didn’t say sleep).  With a bit of determination, some organization, a pinch of luck, and maybe a magic wand, I will somehow make do.
