O-M-G! I was sick yesterday and a little dehydrated from it. The library closed and I walked to the park in the middle of the local downtown area. A woman came up to me and gave me a $100 bill and told me to "get a good meal"!!!! I thanked her and we said good night, and only then did I see how much it was! I was completely shocked!!! I thought it was probably a $10 or something, but no it wasn't--lo and behold it was a $100 Ben Franklin!!!!!
Well, since I was sick yesterday I wasn't about to go out and eat a fancy meal last night. Actually I am very afraid to eat today yet, but I had a tiny bit at a local church that has a meal kitchen on Saturdays. My eating habits have been in a restricting phase lately so I've barely been eating, so I don't think it would be good to eat a big meal right now anyway. Well, and all my issues with that besides. It will almost be hard to spend it. There is a lot that I need! I plan to spend some money on train and bus tickets, I am desperate for laundry, and other things I need. Maybe a tarp to put on the ground under my sleeping bag. I still can't believe it. Like, wow! LOL!

I've seen celebrities give that kind of money to homeless people, but you don't usually hear about ordinary people giving $100 bills to people. That's great!
