Waiting
09 April 2020 – 15:45
Three things I'm waiting for on this Thursday afternoon: my new computer, the direct deposit money from the federal government, and the American economy to start coming back to life.
I've not bought a brand new computer for... heck, it's been eight or nine years. But I have a 2020 model Chromebook on its way now. According to UPS it should be delivered tomorrow. According to Amazon it should be delivered next Tuesday. Whenever it shows up I'll be happy to see it.
Regarding the individual stimulus money from the feds, the latest information I've come by is from the Fox Business Channel yesterday. They sat the IRS is speeding up operations and expects to deposit the money in our checking accounts by Monday or Tuesday of next week. By habit, I check the balances of my bank accounts daily, so I'm hoping to find good news there then.
And while it will surely be a number of months before the economy is going full speed again (it being impossible for an economy as big as America's to spring back to life all at once from this near total shutdown) sources “in the know” say we can expect to see signs of its recovery by this weekend. That will be so very nice to see!
As for now, I'm waiting.
