Tax day - come and gone

Yesterday was the deadline for U.S. tax return submission. It's due April 30th in Canada. This year, I filed early, and by sheer coincidence, my refund arrived yesterday. That same day, I finally heard back from the framing gallery that my pictures were ready for pickup. And today, we had to take one of our dogs to the vet for a fairly expensive set of x-rays and examinations. The framing gallery and vet bills will just nicely eat up that tax refund. Oh well...
