Small Projects

I've been working on a few small projects lately. A dear friend gave me a new letter for my door. The one that previously denoted my residence was quite ugly. I hung it on the door proudly.
I have also been working on sanding some doors that have been sticking due to the change in weather. It's been a bit messy, but not to hard. It was an excuse to get a new power tool too!
I also took a moment the other night to fill in the nail holes to the quarter round. I haven't fully finished that project yet. I still need to sand the filled holes and caulk the whole thing before painting it all. I was just super exicted to not have to make any more cuts at corners. They were just no fun!

Oh the IRS....

I finally received my check. It took 17 WEEKS!!!!! The only bonus was that they included interest earned on the money. That made me happy. Good luck to all of you who are working on getting your refund. It might take a while, but it is truly worth it.
Now I get to decide on the best financial choices for the money. I'm looking into Certificate of Deposit rates at my bank to see if it's worth it to lock a portion away for a good interest rate. I'll put a chunk in emergency savings as well.
