    Oh, please, don't remind me! The first week of January will be spent by me calling every doctor, hospital and drugstore we dealt with this year for printouts. I dread it. I wish they'd just do it automatically.

    Great reminder, it would go well with a link about the intricacies of filing tax returns if you are an independent contractor. :)

    A very sobering reminder. Nicely written though. :-)
