The state saved me!

I checked my bank account online this morning, and my state tax refund has been direct deposited! It's only a little over a hundred dollars, but it saved me. My dd has been sick with a nasty head cold/flu type bug, and she called me at work this weekend and asked me to bring home kleenex, soup, and juice. I wrote a check for those items (not even $20), knowing that I wouldn't have the money in there until Wednesday when I get paid. I had no cash, and she has to get better, right? Anyway, I have been wracking my brain to try to figure out how I was going to get $20 to put in my bank account before the check hit, then I find out this morning that my state refund went in! Thank goodness it was early. I have stopped doing the check float thing, but this was an important reason. I'm just glad it worked out this way or I would have been out a $25 check fee, on top of already being broke. Just had to tell someone, I was so relieved.

By the way, DD is feeling a bit better. I'm letting her stay home from school today (she's 16), get another day of rest and recovery. I hope none of you get this bug, I had it last week and it is definitely not fun.

You must have had some angels looking after you! I'm so glad everything worked out. :-)

That's true. Lately I feel like He's been thumping me on the head and saying "You know better than this!" ;-)
