Oh Hoosier, hugs to you. I am glad you have one hurdle over, you are right not to sweat the small stuff.
Hope your daughter is on the mend, there is so much sickness around just had 5 days in bed myself with flu.
I don't know why they don't have Christmas in the summer -oh I guess they do in lots of places-ha my small UK mind at work there.
I hope you get the money straight into your account and not reliant on him handing it over.
Take care and yes it does will get easier.
