No matter what I do I just can't seem to get into the Christmas spirit. Maybe its this recent bout of depression I've been dealing with.
So, our house has been refinanced. Everyone we owe money to has been paid off. But, a monumentous event such as this is shadowed by looming problems. First off, somewhere in the storm of paperwork we ended up agreeing to making our first payment in January. However, In the original agreement our payment was in February. So, if the greedy, heartless financiers decide to collect next month then it appears that our first payement will be late.
So, then my wife is going back to school in January and she is getting a full line of grants. However, someone in their wisdom decided that grades for last semester wont be posted until after school starts next month. So, everyone on financial aid will have to wait until almost February to receive any money.
Lastly, its always a boon to us to get back our taxes. However, this year might be a mess because of the business and the increased value of our house.
Isn't it always the way... the worries of the world overshadow the joy of a spiritual holiday.
