Another balmy day in Arizona: “only” 111 degrees in the shade of the back porch.
Got that right: a hundred and eleven in the shade.
Ain’t goin’ out into the sunlight…wouldn’t matter, because I don’t have a portable thermometer.
Greater horrors await, though.
Horrifically, indeed: the beloved WonderAccountants have just announced that they’re retiring! Of all the outrages!!!
This is a disaster for me, because I am innumerate. No: really and truly innumerate. It’s a kind of learning disability: haven’t ever been able to do basic arithmetic. I understand the principles, but the process is just…blinding.
My father used to try to beat arithmetic into me, when I was a little girl. No kidding: he’d whip the bejayzuz out of me when I got things wrong…which was about every 30 seconds. This did nothing to enamor me of mathematical calculation. Today I can’t add up a column of figures without an electronic calculator
My son does understand about tax accounting, at least on a superficial level. So I may be able to foist the job on him…at the cost of a vast guilt trip on my part.
Truth to tell, though, I’m gonna have to find someone else to take on the noxious tax calculation task.
Well, the WonderAccountants have done this year’s tax job. That gives me a year to find some other victim to lure into the net. Sure not looking forward to it!!
So…mwa ha ha! I guess we could say things are heating up all the way around: on a literal level and on a metaphorical level.
Perhaps the WonderAccountants can recommend someone new? When our former tax accountant shifted her focus from accounting to teaching accounting, she referred us to our current accountant, who has done a wonderful job for these past many years.
We continue going to her though she’s now over an hour away, because she does such an excellent job. I’m not sure what we’ll do if she ever retires. The prospect of finding someone in our new area does not appeal.
Are the Wonder Accountants not referring their clients to a new practice? That’s what my accountant did when he retired. At the least, they should be able to give you some recommendations.
Dyscalculia is a learning disorder that affects a person’s ability to do math. Much like dyslexia disrupts areas of the brain related to reading, dyscalculia affects brain areas that handle math- and number-related skills and understanding. Symptoms of this condition usually appear in childhood, but adults may have dyscalculia without knowing it.
Like dyslexia but numbers in tead of letters.

Certainly could be. The pocket calculator and the laptop computer are Godsends to us discalulatees!
