Reasons to be cheerful!

[Velma]

Finally had my hearing on my workers' compensation case. I'll be getting a check for nearly $20,000. Workers' comp doesn't pay for pain and suffering, unlike say a settlement for a traffic accident, so that's not a bad amount. We can pay off our car, pay off most of our credit cards, get a new fridge and dishwasher, plus a few other things. All in all, a good ending to a saga that started back on October 20, 2015.

Oh, Velma, I'm very happy for you! 
Excellent news!

[Dave]

Yes, excelent news indeed, Velma. There is a little justice in the world after all!

Wonderful!!  I don't know which is better -- getting the settlement or having it finally over.  In any case a celebratory dinner is in order.

We did go out to eat at Olive Garden.

The doctor rated me as 15% disabled after recovery. If I hadn't healed up so well, I would have gotten more money.

After working all week and weekend (including on labour day) I finally got an afternoon in which I can do nothing but catch up on my sleep.

Yay!  And extra points on the use of emojis.

I think I'll start round 2 now.

That's great news Velma!

I have a reason to be cheerful; my car, the mighty Günhilde, passed inspection yesterday. :}

[Biggus Dickus]

Happy for you Velma, and I'm sure it must be a relief to put this behind you finally. 

[OldGit]

Hooray for Günhilde and a big hooray for Velma!

Would it be possible to see a pic of a car named Gunhilde?

But it's not just a car named Gunhilde, this is the mighty Gunhilde.

I'll see what I can do...
