I called my mom this afternoon and asked what she was making for dinner and would she have extra. She invited us up and we ate breaded fish, corn, instant mashed potatoes and she had made a cake for dessert. I told her I was living lean until payday next week and she gave us four grocery bags of food like spaghettios, ravioli, peanut butter and not sure what all. Then she gave me $20 so I could buy bread and milk. One of my sisters said Dairy Queen had a special deal on Blizzards right now and she gave me $20 for that. I am going to have to put part of the money in my checking account though to have enough to pay my electric bill but I will be able to make it until payday. The car is low on oil and due for a change but it will be okay to delay the change as long as I put another quart in it for now.
I hate being this broke. I need to start working on my resume and start looking for a job.
