Uncle Sam owes me $9,226.00 - I have the best tax guy on the planet. This will pay off all of the charges Linda made to fly back east and handle her mom's funeral and all of the peripheral expenses. We paid for basically everything.
It'll also allow us to do some things we've been holding off doing because of our situation. I'm going to buy some new clothes for the first time in a long time. The jeans I have on right now are basically vaporizing. And we can get a tune up on the car which is long overdue. Might even take Linny out to dinner for the first time in years.
TL : DR
(if anyone is interested I can explain why we got so much back)
