today is the husband's first payday in two months

[fizzgig]

unemployment is still tied up in appeals and we kept afloat off ebay/craigslist sales and holiday checks in addition to the pittance i make, but this comes just in time.

we'll need another month or so to catch up on all the bills but at least i can make a real grocery run. big sigh of relief here.

1. It'll feel great to pick up the things you've tried not to look at while shopping lately.

3. it's off to the thrift store tomorrow

i blew out the knee in my second to last pair of pants a few weeks ago, it'll be nice to have pants again. i might get a few hunks of red meat for dinner, too.

18. I've been where you are at, ebay was definately a lifesaver.

Hopefully the upward trend will continue. Best of luck to you.
