Just an update...

Hey all, time for a bit of an update on my lazy Sunday morning (well, only lazy until that Peet's coffee is done brewing!)

First, a Gus update - he is going GREAT! He is 100%%%%!!!!! I am so happy, I almost lost the chubby furball so this is pure bliss for both of us. He does have to go back to the vet for some follow up testing in a week or so, to confirm that he is indeed 100%, but I'm confident it will all work out just fine.

I've been putting off doing my taxes...I was deathly afraid of the result, because of the $600 stimulus I received earlier in the year. Heck, last year my refund wasnt much at all, so I subtracted $600 from that, and yeah...was just plain scared - thought I might even OWE. So I dug in last night (go Turbotax)..and OMG!!! What a shocker!!! I am getting DOUBLE what I did last year!!! Even with my Ebanned income included! Now I'll have a cushion if Gus gets sick again, and can take a vacation with my family this summer. Yay!

Speaking of vacations, I desperately need one. SO much has been happening in the past year...dad being ill and then passing away, trying to support mom through all of it, my nephew being born, more skin cancer procedures, Gus' illness, stress at work- I've just been going and going and going and need a complete getaway more than I ever have before. Mom, Sis and I talked about a short getaway over spring break (maybe Vegas), and then Hilton Head in the summer - I can almost feel the sand under my feet.

I have to go shopping today (seriously!)....I got something really BIG going on tomorrow at work, and I dont have the clothes to dress the part. So I'm off to Kohl's to see what they've got (dang I love that store) - I have high hopes for this "possibility" - gosh I hope it works out, I need a newer car by summer! ( I know there is a new body style Mustang (in white of course, maybe with black racing stripes) out there that needs me!

Well, onto the coffee and listing more auctions!
