(Saturday, February 24, 2024)
I walk to a local clothing store. It owns the small building. The clothing is young and cheerful in style, for both men and women. They have promoted a generous cash return to anyone who brings a receipt (no products required), so there is a long line of people ahead of me. Yet the line moves surprisingly fast.
I show my receipt to the cashier. I have more long receipts from other businesses but she tells me they are only offering refunds for their purchases. Of course, silly me. She is friendly and hands me plenty of cash. I think about returning soon and buying new spring clothing.
I walk back to another building, heading up short steps of outdoor stairs, but I can’t remember the rest of the dream. There is some kind of fuss between a few people, nothing too overwhelming.
Day notes:
Big surprise! I just checked my bank balance and my first Social Security deposit has arrived. I was told it would not be here until Wednesday, February 28. YAY!
Working with the tax accountants I have had for 35 years, I asked if we can expect a refund this year considering the big income change from losing my job. They think yes. I interpret the other long receipts as attached to Chris’ trust, for which I expect to owe money based on the hot market. I am hoping for an income tax return to spend on a few house projects.
March 2: I just found out we got the largest refund from the Feds and the State that I think we have ever had. A prescient dream!
