[Acting Like Godot]

Okay, I'm aware that I must be boring some of you to tears with the minutiae of my life. However, something else just happened and I just want to put it down for the sake of completeness of my story.

Getting $10,000 out of thin air seems bizarre, strange and unusual enough to me, so early yesterday morning, I decided to work with that.

Anyway, that was in the morning. I came home in the evening and there's a bill in my mailbox for $6,200+, and a cheque for about $300.

The bill is a hospital bill for one of my family members. I had already paid it a while ago. All this time, I had not been able to claim on my company's health insurance because the hospital had had some problems sorting out & finalising the cost of certain items in the bill, and therefore they had not been able to furnish a 100% finalised bill.

Now, the hospital has sent me a final bill, for good order, to show the exact cost of all the different items and to confirm the exact amount payable. It turns out I had overpaid previously. So I get a refund cheque for a few hundred dollars.

And with the final bill, I can now claim on my company's health insurance, so I will be receiving $6,200+ shortly.

Here's the next thing, which also happened last night. The background is that in my country, the government gives certain grants to all families who have two or more young children. However, the grants can only be used for specific purposes, such as paying for their expenses at playschools and kindergartens.

I have never been able to use the grants. I've been sending my kids to a certain school for the past few years (since they were toddlers). However, it is an unusual school, with an unusual curriculum, designed to challenge and nurture gifted kids (it is one of my longstanding intentions that my children are gifted).

And because of its non-standard curriculum, the government had not approved it as a school where the grant could be used to pay for the school fees. So my grant money has been sitting idle, locked up by government rules, in a special account that I cannot touch.

Anyway, last night, my wife told me that the school had told her that this is now changed with immediate effect. The government has finally given its approval for the school to be licensed as a "school".

And so we can use the government grant to pay the fees, starting from this semester. The school said that it would shortly deduct this semester's fees directly from our government grant account. This semester's fees should be around $1,200.

So within one day of my manifestation for $10,000, I'm getting news from the universe that it will be footing $6,200 + $1,200 = $7,400 of my expenses, plus I get a $300 cheque. Total is $7,700.

$10,000 - $7,700 = $2,300

So I am still waiting for the universe to send me an additional $2,300. This - I confidently expect.

I don't think that the additional $2,300 is coming.

What's the reason? I came home today and opened the mailbox. By "coincidence", my bank statement regarding the government grant arrived in the mail today.

I just noted that the government grant account has $12,032.22 which I consider to be very close to $10,000. This $12K is finally freed up for my use, after being tied up by the government for the past three years (due to my choice of school for the kids).

I consider that the universe, by freeing up the $12K yesterday, has already responded to my $10K intention planted yesterday morning. The $6K hospital matter is an extra bonus.

Since the universe has already given me more than the specific amount I asked for, I doubt that the additional $2,300 (as computed earlier) will be coming.
