how it’s going
My clothes are dry, as of Wednesday evening. Finally.
I spent that extra money on my brand spankin’ new gym membership ($40-something) and a couple pair of gym pants, which I actually needed, ‘cause all I had were jeans and slacks for work ($20). I spent another $10 on a co-pay for a doctor’s visit. The rest will go to scheduled maintenance for my car.
And, I am riding down to Maryland as a passenger of another guest of the wedding, chipping in on gas, and maybe slipping about $20-25 in the card. The way I see it is, I love the bride like a play cousin, but I’m really not even a play cousin. Anything more than a Jackson is more than enough.
I’ve got one more week to go until payday - so far, it’s looking good.
One last thing. My co-worker’s employment was terminated today, rather abruptly - I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye. Her husband is ill, her son is prone to illness, she has a new grandchild on the way, a mortgage, and who knows what else? I wish her well. And I also have a renewed sense of gratitude to the Creator that I am employed. Here’s to me trying to keep it that way…
