So, the cheque arrived in the mail yesterday. Quietly and without any noticeable fanfare. Which seems weird, if only because it's been such a long time coming and is really quite a significant event.
Regardless, a good nights sleep and I am off today to deposit it, pay off close to 30k in debt, open a business account at the local credit union, see the landlord for the office space, check in with my local advisor guy down at the employment office, buy tenant's insurance, and talk to the local tax guy about small business stuff.
I'd really rather just sit in the hot tub in the rain.
