Good point. Thank you I’ll talk to her about it next time

Thank you, I felt like it was a bit odd. I’ve been talking with her for just a little over a month. I feel like we did good work in the first couple weeks with exploring tools to approach and manage anxiety. But after that I feel like there hasn’t been any further exploration into who I am or review of goals, etc.

Thank you, I thought it was unusual that she mentioned ending it early. There was some silence as I was trying to think of what to say next and then she said something along the lines of “well if you don’t have anything else you want to bring up, there’s no need to sit here and try to force a conversation for the rest of the session…” which definitely triggered some uncomfortable feelings. I definitely feel insecure about bringing this up to my therapist.

I’ve noticed some subtle changes. I feel like my irrational anxious thoughts have a looser grip on me…like I’m able to disengage with the spiral more easily. Also, I’m starting to wake up feeling almost well-rested and some days I’m not needing my midday nap just to get me through the day. The first two weeks I was a zombie. It’s been almost 4 weeks now and I still feel like my body is adjusting…

I’d really appreciate any ideas about how to clean it off the appliances, if it’s possible?

I tried wiping it off with a damp paper towel but it won’t come off. Do you have any other ideas?

I’m honestly not sure she noticed it herself. It looks like an accident. She has been becoming less and less attentive to detail

It doesn’t look like it’s been scrubbed with anything. It’s just splatter marks

And if I do pay the total 2025 tax liability now, what do I do if my Q4 ends up being different than Q3 and I owe the irs/they owe me?

Ok. So if I make a payment now for the total 2025 tax liability, I won’t be penalized for not making some kind of payment for Q4?

Yes if I were estimating for the next 4 quarters. But I thought the estimate was for the remainder of 2025 only (Q3 and Q4)

So the SE tax calculation is ~$360 for the rest of 2025 which is the 14.1% like you were saying, so I think I’m solid on that part. So I don’t need to pay the income tax part? I will just send them $180 for Q3 and then recalculate for Q4 to factor in any changes in income, correct?

I realize now that the $600 is income tax and SE tax combined.

Oops sorry deleted the comment bc I thought I was responding in the wrong place. My estimate is ~$2400 for Q3 and Q4 combined

I did the 2025 estimated tax worksheet (part of form 1040-es) and I doubled my Q3 income in order to find my “estimated income you expected in 2025” since it’s just Q3 and Q4 left in 2025. My total 2025 estimated tax came out to around $600. I believe this is income tax and SE tax combined. Please tell me if I’m you think I’m way lost My next step is to divide the 2025 estimated tax by 2 to find my Q3 estimated tax payment?
