Wonder of wonders, I applied for and today actually received a much-needed check from FEMA to help cover the cost of groceries lost (from the refrigerator being out of power) during hurricane Beryl in July. Went to the bank and deposited it. Also had to get cash for daughter's allowance as I haven't paid it in a few months. Resisted stopping by the Starbucks that is on the way to the bank; I'm trying to stay down to 1-2 Starbucks trips a month and I've already gone once this month. I used to go multiple times a week, so that is a huge improvement.
