Wed 16 Apr

I don't know how to know for sure who gets the stimulus checks and how much. It's mysteriously calculated on your income. Dad said that the accountant thought we'd get credit for you since you're still in college, but I don't see why we would since you're paying your own expenses, at least since May, 2007. Whatever we get will pay for the airfare to Portland, but now who knows when we'll see it. I'm not convinced that Dave Quick really knows the score either, so you might still get the payment yourself. I believe the minimum is $300, with higher payments possible if you generally earn more. I know you need to have gotten at least $3000 in qualifying income in 2007, which can include Social Security payments. I don't know if your fellowship income counts, but your earned income does.

Wow, I can't wait for the stress reactions from the job change thing to settle down. My stomach is roiling! I woke up around 3 am and was in major stress reaction. I plan to take some ibuprofen to try to settle myself, but I needed to get breakfast in my stomach first.
