Look at the little things.

I actually had a pretty good day today.  There was lots of sun when I woke up.  All four legged children were safe and loving.  I had to go to the store today.  The four legged children had no morning tuna.  (It keeps them happy so they don't fight as much)  I could not decide what I wanted for dinner.  I also had no frozen veggies in my freezer.  So I checked and I had $60 left on my food stamps and a little cash from AVON.  It was enough to get a little at the store.  I bought some ground beef and ground turkey.  I also found a small chuck roast for my crock pot and some hot dogs.  I got some frozen veggies, some Granola Thins, some small chips, some soda, some milk, some tomato sauce, a turkey sub, and of course some tuna.  I was hoping I would not go over and have to put back.  Not only did I not go over, the food stamp card covered everything.  I didn't have to pay any cash.  This means that I will end this month with some, not much but some cash in my pocket.  Though I am still broke this makes me feel less broke and I think that is important. 

The other thing I got to do today was be a bit creative.  My care provider is in a play celebrating the origins of her church.  She has a decent part and I got to go shopping online without spending any money.  We needed to look for a costume for her.  The 1800's puts her in the Victorian era.  I love Victorian era clothes.  We saw some clothes at a web site.  I had a long brown skirt that would work and she found a white button down blouse at Goodwill.  Some black shoes with a small heal and a hat will do if we can find it.  It really doesn't matter if it looks old.  The women of this church were poor.  I love doing this kind of stuff.  How do you get to be a personal shopper?  I don't know.  I bet you need to know the rich and famous.  I don't.  Oh well.  

I have also been given permission to drop my Avon stuff off at my local agency.  I can do more creative stuff here.  Flyer's and the books will do well here.  I may get some new customers.  Yea.  It feels good to feel good if that makes any sense.  This is my mood today.  Take care
