Taxes

and the avoidance of them, get in the way of updating blogs.

It worse than the Kombucha mushroom metaphor, because it’s real.

What I mean by that, is sometimes it’s hard to write a blog because it’s sitting there waiting for you and you want to take it seriously, but you don’t want to completely F off. So you wait until you have the time on your hands. Like taking care of a Kombucha mushroom, you don’t wanna just quickly make the new green tea and just fix everything real quick and run out the door! You make the Kombucha tea when you have some time when’ll you be at home and maybe wash some dishes or sweep the floor while you’re making the tea.

Same with a blog, while you write, you can be boiling a dank chicken stock made out of 3 chicken heads, 2 sets of claws, a whole chicken back-bone (all of which were frozen), along with a roasted chicken carcass which still had a like ½ cup of stuffing inside. One of the ingredients in that stuffing was CINNAMON! I know, daring. It’s because I had some leftover oats with cut-up apples of which was all dusted in cinnamon. It’s the kinda thing you’d put some milk or plain yogurt into and chow for breakfast. But as I make stuffing I like to see what I can throw in and I put about a 1/2 cup of that stuff in the stuffing. You wanna be careful with cinnamon, because of it’s distinctive flavor. But I’ve ever noticed that a touch of it used in savory cooking, blends with the many flavors in an unrecognizable but “there’s something different” kind of way. I like to use a dash in my chicken giblet gravy.

Back to taxes. Now, I need to do them. But I have a lot of trouble focusing myself and emotionally prepping myself for the task. If anyone wants to start a group like AA for people who have trouble doing paperwork, I am down. Let’s do it. But the sad problem is I can’t legitimately excuse myself to writing the blog in avoidance of doing my taxes. I can wash the dishes, I can make important phone calls, vacuum, and hell, even take my car to the shop. BUT, I cannot do something as pleasurable as updating my blog. So, in the meantime, there will be sad shadows of what one day could be something people will enjoy reading and learning from. And the day that you find it is not, is the day you know I did my taxes.
