I am about to go back to Canada. I have been in the US for 18 months but in 36 days, I will be moving back up north.
As we get ready to move, I told my husband I wanted a new couch for my new living room. He said that he didn't know if that was a good idea, since we will have some expenses getting our new house up to speed.
I thought, I could nag him until he says yes (we always consult each other for $$ spending decisions) or I could walk the path of least resistance, trust I will get my new furniture and go get happy about my life. So that I did.
This week we got a letter from the IRS saying we will get a $1,200 check in the mail. I don't know why and I really don't care. I am not a US citizen and I am so close to leaving that I have no idea why I am getting that money. I guess everybody gets a check? I am not sure but again, I don't care as long as I am getting one.
And guess what? My new furniture is exactly $1,200. My husband has already said yes!
Don't you love the Universe? I do!
