@JFG I stopped by the English bakery and got a couple of those oh-so-good, fudgy, soft, chewy, non-crunchy-edged brownies. So goooooooood!!!

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.

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.)

Yeah, I was thinking that 75% of the time, I get paid for Feb 29th even though it’s not even on my calendar.
