Thursday
Wow. How many crazy days can I have?
Went to costco this morning. One year of antimalarial pills is a couple pennies under $30. They'll be in tomorrow. What a deal- it was going to be at least $120 everywhere else I checked.
Came home, then time with MAD: Ran up to Tamara's apartment, then back home, then lunch, then back to break down my fancy-pants dual-core Shuttle box for MAD. Also loaded my MIG welding setup in Toucan's truck, and talked to a stupid carpet installer/estimator.
Tamara ran off for her replacement drivers license (they *mail* them? hmm, didn't know that). I worked on clearing out the woodshop. Also got more paint, then came back and painted the ceiling in the woodshop (still painting, as of 11:30pm).
I spent way too much time researching my FSA reimbursement (if someone is interested, I'll post how I got nearly $2000 in free money), then several hours researching international health insurance. Thought I had it figured out a couple of times, but didn't. Feh.
Are we on schedule? I hope so. I'll know tomorrow if my Happy Trails gear is shipping now or soon, once I know it has shipped we'll schedule our going-away party. (should be the 22nd).
If things go as I expect, we'll have the house prepped for the market sometime between Friday and Monday.

FSA = flex spending. We called it 'cafeteria plan' at CUBS for some reason.
It's a gamble- if you put in $100/month, that means you have $1200 in pre-tax dollars you can use on Jan 1. You must use it all up by Dec 31 though, otherwise you've thrown the excess away, taking away the advantage of the plan.
Because of the layoff (or even if you quit), you still have the mythical $1200, even though you haven't contributed anywhere near that. So free money.
