Day 10 of 3,653: Fighting with the IRS!

Day 10 of 3,653 of my NonDē Film career (warts and all). I’m committing the next 10 years from 40 to 50– all in and sharing the process.

Read yesterday’s update [here].

Dear Reader,

Today was the beginning of the comeback.

Yesterday, my long-delayed medicine came in!

This medicine is a lifesaver that takes my bruised, battered, and painful body into one that will successfully manage the day nearly pain-free.

Autoimmune diseases suck.

So I cautiously got back into today!

Today’s Film log:

• I called the IRS and got a near $7,000 fine reduced to zero (article here)

  • This was a huge success.

• I worked on my script, fixing a few structural changes

• I watched SNIPER (1993)

• I wrote multiple articles

Today’s log:

• Bounced back.

• Transitioned my 8-month-old to a new sleep sack!

We can all do it.

Together, with faith.
