... I'm covered under COBRA for 18 months. Shall have to remember to tell Mom that. She asked me this morning if I'd have health insurance, and I forgot about COBRA. Not fond of that "up to 102% of the premium" cost, but for all I know, I won't even need to use it. It's just a just-in-case thing.

Also, tuition & fees for both semesters is $3,141.70. Not a lot of money at all. That makes me feel better about quitting the job and taking out loans. I haven't even gotten into financial aid yet. Loans are absolutely necessary though, if only for continuing to help Mom with the rent, because I know she can't handle it on her own. Rent in our building's gone up quite a bit. Still under market rate, but a lot to handle for her with all her other bills.

Speaking of, she asked Dad about cosigning for her, and she's going to take a lien on the house... and she said this way Dad doesn't have to worry about paying her back the $1500; she'll just take it from that. (Dad said "What $1500?". Haha. Selective memory, gotta love it.) Hopefully that works out well. I have my own financial issues to work out. ^^;
