Yipee!

I am listening to our county business development call numbers that he is randomly picking from what looks like a bingo cage. It is streaming live on FB and on their website. We were offered a grant of a small amount in a lottery-type winning.
We had to apply, explain how COVID has effected us and they would call for more info.

This is called Loudoun Development Business Interruption COVID Fund.
They are giving away several million to small licensed businesses in the county.
They sent us info because we were unaware of this program. 
After we received the email Rick applied immediately.

I got a call a week ago and more questions were asked of me.
Then he said we were approved to be in the drawing. (lottery style)
Yeah. Then we were assigned a 4 digit number.
This 4 digit number is what they will be calling if we are chosen.
There are 400 that will receive this out of 600 who applied.
So far we've been close but our number has not come up.

Rick and I don't ever win anything so I am thinking we won't here either.
But I can hope. It would be so damn helpful.
We did not get a stimulus, we did not get any PPE money and we could not claim unemployment. This would be oh so very helpful as we slowly move forward.

The man calling the numbers is funny. After the first 100 he made a joke. I laughed out loud. Then when the got to around 250 he announced that he had just read 250 and said, this is like watching paint dry, isn't it?  Then he went on to explain the reason they chose to do this. Then he read the number 5150 and said anyone know what significance that has in the rock music world?  I yell to my computer screen - Van Halen Album. He then said the same thing. I'm now talking to my computer screen I think I have lost it.
Me being me, talking back to the screen and I yelled, C'mon call my number, C'MON!! I'm behaving like I'm at a race or something cheering on a number.

Ooooh, they just called our number!!! Yipee. OMG. Whew.

I am going to go call Rick now and make his day.
Yeah!
