Great News!

1. I got home. Safetly!

2. I got paid!

When I got home I had, not surprisingly, a HUGE stack of mail waiting for me. And what did I find in the mail? Four checks for the business. Two of them were smaller checks I was waiting on but two of them were BIG checks from the bigger company I did business with before the holidays. Best of all, I was expecting to only get a portion of the money owed as I figured there would be chargebacks for something or another that I had mistakenly done incorrectly. While it would be frustrating as I had tried to follow their rules down to the letter, I honestly thought that the whole thing had transpired so rapidly that there was undoubtably something I would have made a mistake on and it would result in some sort of chargeback.

Nope, no chargebacks. The checks came in for the full amount. I'm ecstatic! Even though I had spent the last three days in the car the first thing I did was jump back into the car and drive over to the bank to deposit all four checks. As soon as those suckers clear I will be able to pay off my business AMEX in full which will be a huge load off my back.

Now that's a great way to start off the new year!
