Today was a pretty good day! First up, my federal refund finally came! Having that financial security (for a little while, at least) takes off quite a bit of stress over being laid up. My state refund is being held up for extra scrutiny, possibly for up to three months, but happily, the majority of the money coming back is in my federal refund.

My mom came by. She was taking her dog Buddy to the vet for a check up and some shots. He's an old guy at 15, but Buddy is one of those dogs that doesn't look his age. Still spry to the point I seriously had someone think he was a pup. A testament to how well my parents take care of him.

Although, to toot my own horn a bit, my cat Sophie is not far behind (She'll be 13 in a month.) and I've yet to see her age catch up with her.

I had a fun end to my night. My small town has a drive-in and they started their season tonight. They opened with "Twister." It was fun. I'm trying to get my mom to come with next week when they air "American Graffiti." Fun fact: "American Graffiti" was one of George Lucas' first films.

Anyhow, lazy weekend ahead!
