Good news comes in 3's

1. I have a ten day break starting now.
2. Today I was paid for the trainings back in October/November.  It's $4000.  While it will all go home to pay bills it is a huge relief.
3. And the guy ahead of me in line to teach summer school made it clear that there's no way he'll do it this summer. I may be crazy but I want to spend six weeks here in 110-120 degree heat.  The extra money is nice but - more importantly - I was pretty miserable with 3 months off last summer.*  Being home for one month with extra money would be a much better summer vacation.

*Yes, I'm aware this comment will make some people want to shoot me.
