Oh lord. I'm finally home again. Rosie is well and pleased to see me. My dog sitter also cleaned my house in part, for which I am terribly embarrassed and incredibly grateful.
Lots of mail. The good: got my reimbusement check for my flexible spending plan. Bad: My 2006 taxes were audited and my payment was found wanting. Luckily, even the owed amount is not that bad.... really bloody in convenient, but not that bad. I'll be reviewing my tax records and seeing what I can figure out there. I think some of their numbers are off due to a 401k I couldn't roll over that year, but we'll see. Great: I got a grant for school in the fall! Not a huge one, but anything's better than nothing.
Things I brought home: Some of my prized slipcovered books, a new swimsuit and cover up, some new shirts, and -- best of all -- two of my grandmother's oil paintings. They aren't my favorites of hers, and I think one is quite a bit better than the other, but they're both very vibrant. I also took pictures of all the major pieces of her work and my mom's that my parents have. I'm going to be trying over the next couple of years to take pictures of all my grandmother's paintings and china work so there will be a record. She was a good artist; her work deserves to be recorded. None of her kids seem to think this is important, so it'll involve letting me go to their houses and do the photography myself, but it's worth it. It'll just take a while. :)
Gah. So tired. Will post more tomorrow as I think of stuff. For now, though, at least I'm home.
