VICTORY!!!!!!!

[gridlore]

Before things got Really Dark last night, Kirsten brought in the mail. There was an envelope from the California EDD.

We won. I'm getting my benefits back-dated to 10 DEC 10, which is close to 1900 dollars, and a weekly award of close to 200 bucks. Instead of checks, they're now using debit cards, but they could send me wampum and goats for all I care! I'm finally getting my benefits!

Hooray! Congratulations! And I hope you'll be feeling better in multiple ways, what with this and the one-shot grant from BASFA.

I wish I could make it over there to thank everyone in person, but moving me anywhere is a chore these days. Plus the idea of Chris Garcia having access to my air tank is disturbing.

Congrats, & glad you don't get goats, they'd eat your library.

So how do you keep track of how much is on the debit card?

WOO-HOO! And, it's about damned time! Yay!

[darthgeek.livejournal.com]

Well it's about time. I was wondering if they were just waiting for you to get better so they wouldn't have to pay you.

[bellacrow.livejournal.com]

Awesome! That EDD back-log is like hitting the jackpot, isn't it?
