FINALLY!!

I got my September and October stipends in the mail today -- after waiting for them for an entire month! I also got my November stipend today.

Someone explain to me how that works.

::happy, crazy gimp dancing::

So now I have one paycheck to pay my NOLA attendants for the work they did in August, with some left over. I have at least one paycheck ($1600) to put toward a van, in addition to the $1000 my department gave me for Xmas last year and the $4000+ from FEMA I've been rat-holing. What to do with the third check, besides attempt to pay the attendant service and try to help with bills? I say "attempt" and "try" because my folks have a nasty habit of not letting me help with stuff here. If they refuse, I can always make a big payment to Discover.
