yay!

EMI called yesterday, and my sampler is fixed. Yay! The total for the parts and labor is $181.17. The paycheck I picked up yesterday is $181.39. Hmm. I need to do my taxes and get my refund one of these days...
Today I will mail a package of my music and some statements about how great I am to the McKnight Foundation, and hope that they think I'm great and give me a lot of money to make music. That'd be neat, though I don't wanna get my hopes up too much.
I've had a busy week, full of work and protesting and hospital visits.

Grandpa's looking much more like himself, though every time he gets better and gets worse again it's upsetting. I'm losing count of how many times he's been in and out of the hospital in the last month or so. It was great to see him, and my grandma too. They were talking fondly about the first house they ever lived in, a tiny house on an alley in powderhorn with no bath or shower. And then arguing about bookeeping like the old married couple they are. It may sound strange, but it was really great. I hope they both stay here for a while longer.

Concom meeting today.
