More rollercoaster...
The up: I just checked the bank. Hubby indeed got paid, state budget be damned (first check after summer! YAY!), and he got a really nice raise (this is a "target" year in his contract, so he essentially got a longevity raise plus the new negotiated raise plus COLA).
The down: Property Tax bills came out today. I checked the Assessor's office.... I have until April 10 to come up with $6400! Fuckers. My house is worth 30% less courtesy of the tanked out housing market but we didn't qualify for a reassessment because it was less than a year after we bought the house during the reassessment period.
Somebody just find me a hole to crawl in, ok?

Downside: It's filled with sharks!

I did managed to get the to reconsider. The bad part is the $50,000 decrease in value, but I'm not looking to sell anytime soon.
