The IRS says it's working on getting e-filed returns back in 10 days or less! Excellent. Today I'm filing and am earmarking funds for a ONE-WAY TICKET. Eastbound.

I have found two places in New England that I love. One is a house and one is a HUGE apartment. But alas, I'm in New Mexico. I have been busy returning things and clearing energy so I can be like that alien in Independence Day -- "Release me." Come on, now. On the other side, though, still here I've run into people that I did need to see before I left. But still come on, now. It's time for me to hightail it outta here.

We will hold a place for you

So in Sept, when I was trying to figure out how to get to Vermont, I called and asked if I could push the residency back. They said yes. In October, I asked the same thing and they pushed it back again. Because financial issues were partly to blame for that, they increased my artist grant and gave me a 6-month payment plan to pay the balance. Then when the probate issues interrupted stuff, I was ready to forfeit the residency and called to tell them that but I was told I didn't have to lose it.

I have a year to reschedule. Yay!

Happy tabula rasa!

Another year!

They fly by fast when you're heading toward senior citizenship, heh heh.
