Well, I, for one, didn't think it was anywhere near "over"; I don't
read the newspapers much anymore and depend on the blogs for accurate
and up-to-date info, so I know that the New Orleans area is still in an
almighty, hopeless mess and likely to remain thus, even though Katrina
happened 18months ago.

FEMA went from an efficient organization to a disaster area as soon as
it was subsumed under the Homeland inSecurity rule. The amount of money
they'd paid out, to fradulent claims, without checking, is in billions
now. Too bad you got caught in the undertow and you're absolutely right
that you need to clear your name and record as soon as possible, or
else it'll hang over your neck, like an albatross, forever.
Bother, I say bother!
You are much more self-restrained than I would have been in your
situation :)
Meanwhile, I've also pulled out a crochet lace piece - very wide
border for
a table cloth that needs finishing. It's a UFO from several years
ago...
Yes, that and the Brioude piece (I haven't touched mine since I came
back from Montreal, either. Mine, too, survived the trip back very
well, but there are always other projects to get engrossed in <g>)
should settle your nerves, if not your financial affairs. As the owner
of a local needleshop (long since gone) once told me: "you get better
value, hour for hour, from a handcraft than from a psychiatrist".
Best wishes for speedy and painless resolutions of all your problems,
