Always a silver lining............
Doug and I don't have access to many of our posessions. We have our computers, an air mattress and books and that's all other than clothes. Our stuff has come to have new value to us as that's all we've got. We're down to our last few $$ that have to last us to the end of the month and realistically, it won't. It just won't.
So I came home night before last and our air mattress has sprung a leak. Argh. It's completely discombobulated and unusable. After one night of sleeping on the floor, we packed it up in the box and took it back to exchange it. We didn't have the receipt, so our fingers were crossed. The manager gave us a bit of trouble but in the end agreed to exchange it. We looked on the shelves and they didn't have the same one we'd had so we settled for what we thought would be less, but hey, it's a bed! We went back up to the counter and because the bed was less than we'd had, we got a $40 credit on a gift card.
WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO
We went shopping!!!!! We now have groceries that will get us through till the end of the month.
YAY!!
and......................................it's more comfortable than the original bed!

Isn't it nice how some things just seem to work out?
My hubben and I need a little bit of that happening in our lives right about now.
How wonderful!!
I hate to see you going through this; but when you are, such small things really make huge differences don't they?
Happy $40 Day!!
