In September filled out the state form for possible Unclaimed funds Sent in all the paperwork immediately Was approved on February 15th (that part is annoying) Wasn’t sent an e-mail (that also is annoying), had to check the website Get a letter from a third party - after the approval - looking for more paperwork - realized it was a scam( even more annoying) Had no idea how much it was for (slightly annoying) Just got a check for $530 – now I am happy On TV, they seem to be able to tell people immediately - and odds are they don’t have the paperwork ---

I have this rainbow themed quilt top I have been trying to figure out what to do with. I had a vision for it when I first started it, but now I’m no longer inspired by that vision. So I have it packed away. Well, today a new inspiration came to me. I’m going to try a bargello. This is an example of a bargello I like, might try something similar. [https://www.reddit.com/r/quilting/s/wTbRZF7W8A](https://www.reddit.com/r/quilting/s/wTbRZF7W8A) I already have all the strips sewed together, just need to slice them up perpendicular, so the strips are composed of rectangles, arrange and piece back together. ---

It’s not even 8am and I’ve already found something that’s going to kick off [lots of] discussions elsewhere and reinforce our longstanding argument that _no, we cannot just call this complete and move on._ ---

Aaaaand I covered costs this month in my little startup. Made enough sales to cover marketing costs and operating costs. Probably not immediately repeatable because I had two big sales, but it tell you what, it’s nice not paying salaries out of.my retirement savings for once. ---

In non-Leap years, I work 2-3 days less in February for the same pay as in other months. In Leap Year, I still work 1-2 days less than other months for the same pay. 🙂 (Those paid biweekly get the same pay on a monthly date that’s one day earlier thereafter.) ---

Good job University of Waterloo. Just got this in: > Graduating students can request the word “Master” be replaced with the gender-neutral term “Magisteriate” on their diploma. If this is of interest to you, complete the online request form by **May 13th**. There is no fee associated with this request if it is received by the deadline. This is a ‘doesn’t bother me either way’, but I think I’m going to take advantage of that offer. I’m hardly gender neutral, but sure, I can participate in something like this (and I know students for whom this would absolutely be a big deal).
