"such feelings"

in february, i was telling fan about my japan pension refund and how i might use the money to pay off one of my student loans. i was super excited and feeling really blessed. she was REALLY excited,too, and said something hilarious:

"oh kell!! that gives me such... feelings!!"

i cracked up and have been quoting her ever since.

in april, i bought a [new-to-me] car and semi gave up the idea of paying off my loan.

THEN today i got something from the bank saying that $1,730 had been deposited into my account from Japan. [it was the 20% they taxed from the original amount back in february]

i decided to pay off my loan that very second.

and NOW, i am extremely happy to report that one [out of 2] of my loans is absolutely completely totally paid off!!!!!!
