I have such a Peter Graves crush. Last thing I saw him in was an episode of Cold Case. I was still feeling it. He was the reason I started the silverfoxes site, even though I don't have near enough pictures of him.

Did Peter Graves narrate A & E's Biography? I somehow have him in the same corner of my mind as Nick Clooney.

Taxes are done. I know I am missing some charitable donations, but I do not think it would matter much. Getting a nice refund that will pay down, but not off, the big credit card. Now to bed. It is hot in my apartment which does not make any sense, but we have windows open and still, hot.

OH! and just because I kept posting about it, I finally did make it down to the storage unit and brought up 2 bags of throw pillow, 3 suitcases (for spring break trip in 2 weeks), and outdoor play gear for mac to start using at the playground with the babysitters. Still need to pull out some more, but that was a good start.

Did Peter Graves narrate A & E's Biography?

Yeah, he did.

Taxes I will do next weekend, for real.

The cat cube I posted about all the cats ignoring of late? Has had a Loki in it all night. Like, since 6 pm, with a brief foray. I did open out the windows all day today, so it is cooler up there than usual, but still. It's like he knew.

Also, I had soufflé for lunch and dinner, courtesy of Panera. Does that count as pie?

This Hoarders show just motivated me to clean off my kitchen table. It's not totally done, but it's better. Tomorrow will be laundry.

I wish I knew if I got the job I applied for, because I think I should confirm that I don't need to pay estimated tax for next year before I bother filing now.

What state is she in?

She is in Tennessee, but wants to leave very very much. She's thinking of coming here to Virginia; there's a dental hygiene school in Richmond, and she'd have me, so she wouldn't be alone.

I don't even know how I am not dead.

Further evidence for guardian angels.

Depending on what the tuition is, and what her living expenses are, she may be eligible for enough in federal student loans to make that possible. Her age makes it tricky though - she may be on the young end where they still expect a parental contribution.

OK, federal - I guess there's an easily findable website for that. She will not be getting any parental contribution, because her mother barely makes enough to support herself and the younger daughter.

The school had a financial aid office that hooked me up with the info.

I think she's already talked to the school financial aid office. Maybe.

RIP Peter Graves. Alas.

New York has grants for residents and I was eligible for them pretty quickly after moving here. I imagine other states must be similar.

There are also training funds for the unemployed. Any chance she lost a job recently?

Other than that, yeah, financial aid office.
