PRAISE AUGUST & TAX RELIEF!!

Oh, my FUCKING God!! I repeat, OH, MY FUCKING GOD!! I just casually went to my mailbox and was delighted beyond belief to see my Tenant Homestead Rebate tax check. But that's not why i'm excited. You ALWAYS get it on August 1, but somehow I went through all of today totally forgetting about it. I had precious little sleep and have a minor cold...my mind just wasn't on it, despite being destitute. So the first year (2003) that I applied for this, I got $33.33. Then it went up to $50 in 2004. Then it went DOWN to $25 the past TWO years. SO...naturally, always expecting the worst...I figured I'd get $25. Now, without going into painfully embarrassing financial specifics, let me say that the mere $25 had me euphoric and planning a sudden run to ShopRite. Are you sensing it was more when I opened the envelope? I'm still giddy with glee. I just CANNOT believe it. HOW in the name of God did I just get a tax check for...$175?!?!?! SEVEN times what I expected!!!!! I seriously almost feel like crying. I've looked at the check like 10 times to see if it's for real. I thought maybe I got someone else's by mistake. I don't know HOW the fuck they compute this yearly, and I don't CARE. All I know is that my life just got SO much easier in an instant. I just wish this had come a week earlier...much aggravation could've been avoided. August IS my month!!
