food aplenty, money? hardly any…
quite awhile back, I applied for and got food stamps…I didn’t use ’em in September or October…so I went to use ’em the other day and found out I had nearly $300 bucks in my account…the money that was coming outta my paycheck for food can now go somewhere else (the roommate? a smart phone? both?) but today I didn’t have enuff money to go to work (sigh) so I called in sick…I worked last Wednesday (which I usually don’t) so I feel like I’ll break even but if I can’t “touch base” with my Boss’s Boss, Thursday is in jeopardy…and of course the roommate was less than happy about my staying home…but as of now, we’re kinda watching TV together…
sadly, pathetically, I was actually gonna “fake” going to work…but, incredibly, the Library was closed on account of a fire…Thanx a lot G-d…
just to be clear, that $300 can only be used to buy groceries, but I’m grateful to have it…so for the time being, Bologna is no longer a luxury…or Milk or any edible thing (that isn’t already cooked) like ice cream or sandwich cookies…so I can buy lotsa groceries, but I don’t (yet) have money to get to work on Thursday…
