it is the time of fortuitous and random things falling from the sky. literally. yesterday i was procrastinating by rearranging my books by category (i do this a lot). as i was moving books around i brushed something off the shelf, but didn't bother to pick it up. a few minutes later i turned around to talk to donna, and saw a 20 dollar bill on the floor! i said "wow, there's 20 dollars on the floor!" then i saw a 5 dollar bill. they were both perfectly flat, never been in a wallet. and there was no possible explanation for them being there. neither donna nor i had lost money, we rarely have money at all, let alone new $20 bills lying around... then i looked again and found another $5... total $30. and no clue as to how they got there. and i just rearranged those books a few days ago while procrastinating, so the money appeared recently. all of us are so poor we definitely would have noticed losing $30.
so there was that. then today donna's relatives sent her a ton of cookies and presents and christmas decorations... and $200 in cash!!!! (these relatives are not loaded--they usually send $10 checks.) with my christmas money, and my parents coming, we're finally not about to be evicted... it's fucking awesome. the other semi-weird thing relating to money is that about a month ago i realized that i had about $100 more in my bank account than i'd thought...of course i've already spent it.. but still. then tonight, i found some drugs in my desk drawer that i forgot about. good things seem to be coming to us randomly. donna thinks it's because we're doing good things, like i'm doing my homework and she's being healthy, etc. who knows. we celebrated by buying a mop. yay!! i'm on page 5 of my marx paper, it's fun in a horrible way. i should be done soon. then i'm done until february!!!!
update, next morning: i'm stealing this picture from donna's diary. this is merely a fraction of the insane christmas decorations we have all over the house: |
