TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12TH, DAY THREE

Is it just Tuesday? Seems like longer than just two days doing this challenge ..

I always feel nervous opening the daily challenge envelope, but today it was good news!

"You found $5.00 blowing in the wind. What will you do with it?"

It's definitely a welcome find, because I'm hosting the members of my Spanish conversation group this afternoon and was embarrassed to have to tell them that I could supply the tea, but couldn't afford any "snacks" to go with it. Now, my plan is to buy a package of Robin Hood Banana Quick Bread Mix at $2.47, and serve it at our get-together this afternoon. BONUS! Hope it's legit to expect that the other $2.53 will cover my gas to get there.  Amazing how a small thing can lift your morale!

Speaking of morale, I have to say that I was so apprehensive the day before starting the challenge, that I had, what for me, was a mini-meltdown when something fairly insignificant went wrong, and my poor brother was on the receiving end. A small thing, maybe, but also perhaps a symptom of how stressful it is to live with the constant worry of trying to make it from one welfare cheque to the next.
