Good luck at the doctor, that is a long time to wait for something like that, I would think. Of course, sometimes I wonder what the people who make appointments are thinking. Wolf had abdominal pain that he called the doctor's office about and they gave him an appointment for *a week* from when he called. When the doc found out about this, she was alarmed as the pain was in the area of the *appendix*. You know, something that left untreated could have *killed* him? Fortunately, it was not the appendix, just a pulled muscle, but that could have been a huge malpractice lawsuit.
As for the taxes, if you can wait for the IRS to send you the money, that is the best way to go. Fees to get taxes done are ridiculous. Wolf and I paid not only for someone else to do our taxes, but also to get a rapid refund because it was almost a week til he got paid, the fridge and pantry were empty, and no money for food or anything else. And, as long as we were getting *that much* money back, we got some fun stuff too. :) But, we've put back money that *hopefully* will stay there (for once) and we won't be in that situation again. We're back on the envelope system and, *so far*, following it pretty well. We'll see how it goes.
