Yesterday, I had my first batch of "real" money. Some New Zealand funds settled themselves (what a politically savvy way to say that!) and a couple hundred dollars came my way. Now, my needs are great. A list of things I just might like to have:
- cable
- groceries
- pillows
- face products
- hair products
- a bed
- dressers
- hangers
- lamps
- more silverware
- more plates
- mixing bowls
- coffee
- a tea infuser
- a working cell phone
- a newspaper subscription
- another car
- gas
- a suitable wardrobe for work and pleasure
- new shoes
- repairs on old shoes
- books
- movies
- a desk
- a desktop computer
The list goes on. $200 does not go far. But it does make you happier. Money may not buy happiness but it sure staves off utter depression pretty well.
Also, I get the next two days off. Why? Well, I think it's to make up for the fact that we had school on President's Day. I mean, honestly. But it's actually for Rodeo Days. Fine. I guess I do live in the South, though I prefer to think of the Southwest as a whole different kettle of fish.
Tomorrow I might check out the rodeo parade and some fun stuff -- it is free, after all -- and get some errands done. The thought has never made me happier. And! Cable/internet/new cell phones should be in this weekend. I think I've crossed over the poverty threshold.
It was a close one, folks.
